I get that gun violence is an awful thing and people's first instincts are to say 'well even he didn't deserve to be shot' but I need to make it clear that even if Hitler hadn't killed himself and the soviet soldiers had found him alive and shot him, that would still have been just and good, sometimes the only way to remove evil people from positions of power where the entire system is designed to protect them, is with violence.

This rant brought to you by people using LLM's to generate alt text in images, a double whammy of screwing over blind users who need accurate, well written descriptions, not word vomit, and people with other disabilities who you could have commissioned to write descriptions, if you're going to willingly screw over disabled users, why even pretend and bother with image descriptions at all

It's always been an unspoken rule that able bodied society doesn't want to see us, doesn't want to be reminded of us, and now we're seeing an effort to eliminate all the 'soft' jobs that we use to survive in this capitalist hell, it's very transparent that the fate of disabled people under an 'ai' economy is to starve

Need a book cover? I know scores of disabled artists looking for a gig. I know disabled writers just raring to help someone get words on a page. Llm's aren't going to replace construction workers or grocery packets or taxi drivers, but they're going to rob us disabled people of all the little jobs that can be done at home, on a computer, between pain spikes and chronic fatigue episodes and migraines.

Realising that one of the big reasons I really, really hate 'ai' e.g. llm's, image generators, etc, is because the jobs they do are by a large margin all things that are the most accessible source of income for the disabled. For a large group of people, me included, most manual labor is just not possible, but writing and illustrating and designing are. These slop generators create content that you could have commissioned from someone who needed the money and it's frustrating

can you tell there's some really dumb discourse happening on tumblr right now? it's great

'wah wah i'm upset that trans people won't get to serve in the organisation whose primary purpose is to rape people in third world countries' grow up and kill the cop in your head

love seeing people upset about trump pledging to kick trans people out of the US military because like, you do get that any trans or queer person who joins the 'we do genocide' organisation is no longer a member of our community, you are actively supporting and fighting for an organisation that would happily follow the order to hunt down and exterminate all queer people if it was given, saying 'any trans person who joins the military is a traitor to our community; should not be controversial
