Bluesky Post (this was also posted on twitter)

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

Not only is this absolutely inexcusable, also, Funko Pops are ugly and creepy-looking and I don’t understand why people spend so much money on them just because they look vaguely like the characters or people they’re supposed to represent.

God I hate our whole system.

Funko pops are for people that lack a personality and try to create one by buying dumb shit that sits on a shelf and depreciates in value. They’re just memecoin bros

Just because I dont have a personality and try desperately to fit in doesnt mean I am as stupid as the cryptobro morons.

Every single DMCA request should have to be filled out by hand and signed by the infringed party, not on their behalf by a third parry, under penalty of perjury. This is absolute bullshit.

The DMCA still has a lot of problems. Like if someone uploads something behind a paywall, the victim has to pay before they can even send a valid notice.

That’s fucking crazy. Anyone notice how AI has only made everything shittier?

It’s really just the DMCA.

This kind of faultless takedown shouldn’t be legal, but the DMCA carved it out decades ago.

AI is a great tool. But tools need to still be handled by humans. AI should compile a list of sites “infringing” and this list should be checked by a human. There always should be a human filter with all AI uses. Cool, let your stuff be written by AI but check what is written and fix weird or wrong shit. Have the meat be done by AI and the details by humans.

If a copyright bot makes false DMCA notices, the programmers should be held responsible as if they sent out the notices. That’s how we’d handle it for any other crime.

Why develop and create something in a vacuum when you can beta test it on everyone.

It’s automating the enshittification. A large language model doesn’t need to sleep and doesn’t have a conscience.

AI as we know it now is, in a nut shell, the automation of “I was just following orders”. Or a digital factory line of evil. Either way, this is about removing the human element from as many decisions as possible.

It would be tricky, unethical, and in some cases illegal to get people to do the sort of things the owner class and fascists want to do to society. But it’s easy to let an AI program go nuts. The cruelty is the point in the case of the fascists. And in the case of the owner class it clears out anyone who couldn’t afford a lawyer.
