It's because printers need the yellow ink to print the invisible tracking marks which the government can use to track down the printer if it's used in crime This sounds 100% schizo but it's real

Friendly reminder that anti-intellectualism is an authoritarian tactic that is used to control a population by robbing people of the tools to understand and solve problems, foster innovation and build up communities. Education gives people power to improve their conditions.

The AI critics have been proved right about basically everything so far. But one thing that has surprised me is how much the companies are trying to FORCE us to look at GenAI. Top of every Google search. Bottom of every viral tweet. No way to let users turn off. Seems desperate.

As for the other 2 colors, those have a simpler explanation: Most printers have 'rich black' enabled by default, which is a black achieved by mixing ALL of the inks together. If you don't want that, you need to dive deep into printer settings to turn it to black&white only.

I’m not sure people quite grasp how much of the crypto world is reacting to the Trump memecoin launches.

【Revised Version】 I would like to summarize the numerous actions taken by President Trump on his first day in office, as the sheer volume is overwhelming⬇️

Apparently im too critical of certain people while on this account. Because the normal reasons don't exactly apply to this account.

CREATIVE WORKER ALERT ‼️ “Don't let Google & OpenAI wrap themselves in the flag 🇺🇸 and use 🇨🇳 as an excuse to gobble up your lives' work You are American small business owners & entrepreneurs You embody the REAL core of American global competitiveness -- not Big Tech.”

"In theory, generative AI could help some developers lighten their workloads. That’s not happening. Instead, developers are reportedly working longer hours than they have in years." Fixing AI slop leads to underpaid jobs and overworked work environments.

Who the f*ck gives Sam Altman the right to unilaterally and undemocratically disrupt "the entire structure of society"? This is absolutely outrageous. We need to stop this immediately.

The core regulatory proposition of the tech industry is "it's not a crime if we do it with an app." It's not an unlicensed taxi if we do it with an app. It's not an illegal hotel room if we do it with an app. 1/

Sir Elton John joins Sir Paul McCartney in rejecting - in the strongest possible terms - the UK government’s plan to upend copyright law to favour AI companies. He says the plan “will allow global big tech companies to gain free and easy access to artists’ work in order to train

Great news from the UK. The House of Lords has rejected the government’s poorly considered proposal to weaken the protection of creative workers to allow AI companies to use their works without consent. A victory for common sense. Hopefully the House of Commons will follow suit.

Trump and Musk ordered all peer reviewed scientific publications regarding climate change, gender affirming care, or reproductive health publications be retracted. So how is this not Weimar Republic 2.0, again?

If this isn't evidence that AI companies know they're shoveling bullsh-t, I don't know what is.

This is the state of things, even if your household has two incomes from two separate fields, you're not safe from AI. How can people champion this?

So, apparently, on top of the 'steal this image with our AI' button that now apparently exists on Twitter, the idiocy is now also mis-labeling legitimate art as being created with that AI. I already stopped posting art here ages ago, but I'll keep recommending bluesky anyway

PSA FOR ALL YOUTUBE CREATORS/VIEWERS Youtube has implemented AI filters at the start of August and it is decimating a lot of channels. For some people it was turned on automatically, basically rendering a lot of videos they usually enjoy fully invisible. If you've noticed a
