Where the 🦋’s are… 👀

@OdderCommentary @Pirat_Nation ‘Who couldn’t break into the industry’ - Most of the loudest were already in the industry. 🤣

@Pirat_Nation Keep your mouth shut and work. They bullied him out of the project and he has no funding what's so ever for "human animation" or ai. learn to shut up or grow a stiffer spine to not let words get to him. (they were a bunch of failed artists who couldn't break into the Industry)

On May 28, Jorge R. Gutierrez, creator of El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, announced a new AI-generated cartoon called Punky Duck as part of Amazon’s AI Creators’ Fund. The next day, Guillermo del Toro posted messages celebrating animation made by real artists, including the line “Made by humans for humans.” Many in the animation community took it as a jab at the AI project, and backlash built quickly. By May 30, Gutierrez had pulled out of the program. In a public apology, he said his intention was to spotlight the artists working on the project, not replace them, and promised to do better moving forward.

@draevans This man belongs in the 19th century.

So children born with a disability- what do we do with them?

🤣 Nice little self own!

I worked for 40+yrs as a registered Nurse. I had to stop due to spinal issues significantly due to the job! Although I complied with every criteria, It took an Appeal to get PIP! It's a demeaning, tortuous ordeal! It is NOT easy to get! 🤬♿

2020: “You need to stop using plastic straws. Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity.” 2026: “Anyway, here’s a 62-square-mile AI data center"

@GeneralMCNews Wouldn’t this erm…. Increase the spread, not reduce it?

BREAKING: Google is planning to release millions of mosquitoes into California as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus.

All I get is PIP. <£10k a year. I eat every other day. This is modern Britain for disabled people.

@LukeDempsey1099 @DavidHeadViews @patmcfaddenmp @LindaPears87262 The unemployment rates are really more in alignment with financial crises across the world. ons.gov.uk/employmentandl… We left the EU 31st Jan 2020. Now it’s almost as high as during the pandemic. 2008 was financial crash.

@parochena @DavidHeadViews @patmcfaddenmp @LindaPears87262 'We'? Bosses boosted their profits by advertising manual jobs only through agencies in Poland in order to by-pass UK minimum wage laws. That's stealing jobs from British workers.

Some countries have high rates of youth inactivity. The Netherlands' rate is about one third of ours. I'm going there shortly to look at what they do. UK to learn lessons in 'Neets' crisis fight from European country with lowest rate - The Mirror mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@LukeDempsey1099 @DavidHeadViews @patmcfaddenmp @LindaPears87262 ‘Stole jobs’ and yet, we were in a better position at the time. Interesting that…

@DavidHeadViews @patmcfaddenmp @LindaPears87262 Usual Remainer cultist gaslighting. A tiny, tiny minority of middle class Brits worked abroad in the 27 years that Britain was in the EU. In contrast, six million Europeans came to the UK and stole jobs and opportunities from working class Brits.

@writethewrongs2 @patmcfaddenmp Absolutely! I’m disabled and self employed and would hire in a heartbeat to help if I actually had the funds… I have to move incredibly slowly as a sole person with very complex illnesses.

@patmcfaddenmp How about helping entrepreneurs and small businesses to accelerate their business success so they can take on staff? You have to have the jobs available before you can make people get into work.

⚠️ Be careful what you upload. ✌️ Researchers in Japan found that AI image enhancement tools can reconstruct fingerprints from high resolution photos making your biometric data vulnerable to hackers and cyber thieves. Once they are exposed, they're compromised forever.

@ShivaniM_KC To be fair… (as a woman), if I were them, I’d want all the evidence shown to me and the right to make my own decision. Shouldn’t they also have that right? They should be allowed to ask for your opinion, but they will have their own too.

I'll say one more thing at the risk of being cancelled Telling men that there's no point screening for prostate cancer because only a few men will die from it and you can't tell who will and who wont die, therefore it's better not to look in the first place because you probably won't die but you may have unnecessary surgery with complications.. ...doesn't work highly intelligent folk don't understand this concept. We need a better way to convey the evidence to men.

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS LET THIS WORLD STEAL YOUR WHIMSY. PROTECT YOUR WHIMSY AT ALL COST. DON’T LET THESE JOYLESS MOTHERFUCKERS STEAL YOUR MAGIC.

@giraffewhisp @mexopolis The kids are going to lose so much in this whole thing. :(

On the surface, it looks detailed and crafted. But as soon as you actually consider it and take a look beyond a surface level glance, it’s a hollow, distorted, illegible mess. That’s what AI is, and it’s anything but punk.

@kwoade 😆😆😆

@parochena Yeah tbh not a fan of nori either. Not a great start.

I have said this before, but whilst I am mildly allergic to salmon, the small man is not. And as a former teenage stoner I have hugely enjoyed discovering that there’s an entire meal based on rolling gigantic fish fags.

@FightinPhils26 @SarahIronside6 Men aren’t made to stay with the children they help to create and they don’t risk their life to create that child. Childbirth can however, kill women. So a woman can be treated as a vessel for a man who would abandon the birthed child, in theory. Tell me again about convenience?

@SarahIronside6 You do know that only 1% of abortions are due to rape. About another 10% for medical reasons. The rest are all out of convenience. I'm pro-choice but the chances a woman is going to get an abortion for rape are very small statistically.

Oh, so a rapist can impregnate a woman against her will and then legally kill her if she tries to get an abortion. Republicans hate women.

@domino @Chuffin_ell @BBCMorningLive 💔💔💔

@parochena @Chuffin_ell @BBCMorningLive This. I had so much anxiety that my PIP would be stopped, I'm sure it hampered my recovery - and I was *definitely* discharged too early.

Why does the DWP stop Carer’s Allowance & PIP when someone goes into hospital, even when the carer is still there 10–15 hours a day, sometimes 24/7, providing care the hospital doesn’t? They’re not “just visiting” yet they’re financially penalised @BBCMorningLive

THE DOCTOR WHO QUIT WHEN THEY ASKED HIM TO LIE Dr Greg Wood joined Atos Healthcare in 2010 as a medical assessor, carrying out Work Capability Assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (@DWPgovuk). His job was to decide whether sick and disabled people were fit for work. Simple enough, you'd think. Except it wasn't. Dr Wood told the BBC he was instructed to change his reports, reducing the number of points awarded to claimants. More points meant more support. Fewer points meant benefits cut. He eventually resigned after his bosses asked him to declare a person he felt was severely ill as fit for work. He described a culture where, from the moment a file was opened, the working assumption was that the claimant was probably fit for work. Not because the evidence said so. Because that was the preferred outcome. Atos held a contract worth £100 million a year to carry out these assessments on behalf of the DWP. The government made no secret of wanting the numbers down. And the system delivered exactly that. Dr Wood said the system was skewed against the claimant. He criticised tests that assumed if someone could walk from the kitchen to the sitting room, they could walk 200 metres, and if a person could dress themselves once in a day, that proved they had enough concentration to hold down a job. He says these rules were never published, just spoken about in training sessions. Atos denied all of it. The consequences were not abstract. Research from Liverpool and Oxford Universities found the reassessment process between 2010 and 2013 was associated with an extra 590 suicides, 279,000 additional cases of self-reported mental health problems, and 725,000 additional antidepressant prescriptions across England. In one case, a coroner found that the trigger for Michael O'Sullivan's suicide in September 2013 was his fit-for-work assessment, and wrote to the DWP requesting urgent changes to prevent further deaths. Dr Greg Wood went on the record. He went to the BBC and the British Medical Journal. He resigned rather than comply. The system he blew the whistle on ran for years. The contract was eventually cancelled in 2014. Nobody in government or at Atos faced any legal consequence. Protect whistleblowers. They are the last line of defence when the line of responsibility disappears entirely. Sources: @BBCNews | @bmj | @DailyMirror | @openDemocracy | @dis_news | @NIHRresearch
