  • I’m late but whatever.

    Well considering that all generative ai models are built off of vast sums of stolen work there can be no ethical use of generative ai. Since any use of generative ai supports the theft of human made works. No generative ai model is built off of properly licensed work that pays the original creators for said work. Anyone arguing that this type of ai can be used is ethical ways is just wrong since it ignores the impacts to real people that allowed for the model to be made in the first place. The sheer amount of data required to build a LLM would cost too much money to obtain legally so these companies just steal and are hoping that they can just get away with it. Even Adobe, whose model comes closest, still used work that was not licensed for this purpose by using their back catalog of stock images to feed into their model.

    That is ignoring the vast environmental impact through the amount of energy consumption required to run the model.




  • I would love to leave the US, but I can’t afford that. I can barely afford to do to college as it is, I work full time plus do commissions in my spare time and I am thousands in debt just to pay for it. If I had the money to travel, I would instead spend it on moving somewhere where my access to HRT could be guaranteed, where I can be safer.
    This country might be rich but it is not turning that wealth around to help its people. I don’t get disability benefits despite being disabled because I am not disabled enough. I don’t get healthcare benefits, I have to pay out of pocket and I pay more per year because of things outside of my control.
