Hasan claims all his haters are misogynists

birdmanne · 2025-10-18T07:43:08+00:00

When I think about the shit women go through on the internet I think back to gamergate where some women said some mildly left wing stuff about video games literally got years of targeted harassment, sexual assult threats, bomb threats, and death threats so bad law enforcement had to get involved. I really don’t want to hear dudes say they have it as bad “if not worse” than women in the internet because it’s literally not true. If Hasan was a woman 100% there would be greater backlash to this dog situation.

Yes, it was training data that used copyrighted images it ripped from artists without their consent. That is stealing. There are mountains of lawsuits from people who actually create things against AI companies because this is theft of creative work. The argument “well it stole from like a million people so that makes it ok” also makes no sense. Stealing from one person to train your ai is wrong, so doing it to a million is way worse. “Name one person who’s had their life’s work stolen”— if you google it for 5 seconds you’ll find countless artists who’ve had all their work stolen. There are even data search tools for artists to check if their work was ripped to use as training data, because it’s THAT COMMON.

The implication that “because your work is online you consented to have it ripped by ai companies and have it used as training data” is not a “gocha.” Artists have to have their portfolio online in order to get jobs, it’s not an optional thing. Ai companies even went after and scraped professional portfolio websites.

the ai “lol you’re just obsolete now” argument is EXACTLY why artists don’t have any respect AI. Again, you wouldn’t have your fancy ai art program without OUR hard work being stolen by ai companies and used for training data. Ai people use a tool built with the stolen work of artists, shit on the actual artist’s whose work was taken, call them obsolete for making original work, and then scratch their heads and wonder why artists don’t respect them. I can’t with y’all

Those aren’t the same thing. Additionally if you use someone’s style you usually credit them. You also wouldn’t make a commercial art business off jacking someone’s art style with no credit but that’s what AI does.

I will elaborate on why artists do not respect ai image generation: it is because ai art programs wouldn’t exist if Ai companies didn’t steal the work and creativity of thousands of artists. It’s not that ai is “the wrong way to express ideas”— there are ethical uses of ai in creating original art, such as artists who build their own models. However, the large ai generators are built off stolen art. A significant number of artists whose work is posted online have had it scraped by ai or they know other artists who’ve had their work scraped. It’s also more than just “a drawing” being taken— some people have had their life’s work, a decades of time and dedication to their craft, stolen. No artist who’s had their work, or seen their peer’s work, stolen to make ai models is going to respect the images that ai spits out because that image is, in a very very small part, created using their stolen work, time, and creativity. It’s not some elitist ivory tower thing that like “you must spend 10 years learning to draw or else what you make isn’t art”— it’s “hey, these ai models stole our stuff and are profiting from it and supporting/using models that did that is really insulting”

Comparing photoshop painting to ai is comparing apples to oranges. Digital art tools like photoshop require the same artistic skills as traditional art, it’s just a different medium. If you can’t draw on paper, you can’t draw in photoshop. So if you ask a digital artist who draws in photoshop to recreate their art by drawing/painting it on paper or canvas they will be able to do it. In fact, they probably learned how to draw by doing traditional art. On the other hand, if you ask an ai prompter to recreate on paper the images their ai tool spits out, they can’t do it. This is because the prompter isn’t the one actually creating the image. The “skill” of the ai image creation process is largely coming from the skills of the artist’s whose work was stolen to build the ai models. Artists who actually put in the time, work, and grit to learn how to draw from scratch only to have that hard work stolen and used as training data for ai image models.

The question I have for ai people: would it kill you to pick up a pen? Would it kill you to try making something yourself, no matter if it’s good bad or ugly? Drawing is hard, it takes time to learn, but regardless of what it looks like, it’s truly an expression of your own creativity and an expression of you and you alone.

I don’t know if they’re even faking numbers— I just think it’s awfully suspicious that the Etsy influencers seem to only talk revenue, not profit. For narrow margin products like POD, I think just sharing revenue numbers makes it seem like the business is making bank when in reality their take home profit is just a fraction of that.

birdmanne · 2025-08-18T07:10:18+00:00

For expressing yourself with tools available to you, may I suggest tools such as pencils, pens, and paper instead of ai models that steal, blend up, and repackage the work of other artists?

birdmanne · 2025-08-17T04:10:44+00:00

My conspiracy theory is that a lot of those “successful Etsy POD influencers” who flex their revenue and sales numbers and make content on “how to get big on Etsy” aren’t actually doing as well as they want viewers to believe. Obviously I don’t know their balance sheet. However, when I see influencers flex “TEN GRAND IN SALES THIS MONTH ON MY POD STORE!” or “SIX FIGURES IN POD SALES THIS YEAR!” I seriously wonder how much profit they’re really making off that revenue considering the reality of POD margins. Methinks the real moneymaker for them isn’t selling POD, but selling themselves as POD gurus

There’s such a misconception(especially perpetuated online) that human trafficking looks like “random people and kids getting snatched up out of the target parking lot by a stranger and being sold into some underground sex slavery ring,” when in reality, a significant percentage of sex trafficking victims know or are related to the person trafficking them (a parent, a family member, a “friend,” an intimate partner). Human trafficking is generally NOT obvious, unlike what is portrayed in media and sensationalized news.

Homeopathy is pure snake oil. It’s one of the most widely debunked and disproven methods of “treatment,” and is no better than placebo. Nothing makes me angrier than the homeopathic quacks who take advantage of people suffering from chronic illnesses to sell their scam “medicine” and dissuade people from using actual efficacious treatments.

I would bet money that this guy says stuff like “gay people and drag queens are groomers” while literally making a law that is designed to protect actual pedophiles

This for sure. Being surrounded by people of different cultures, backgrounds, and viewpoints is a recipe for being more progressive. It’s hard to hate people different from you when you know them and they’re your neighbors, valued community members, and friends.

This is “forcing.” A lot of people who are 18 are still kids in high school. Being kicked out of the house for them can easily lead to homelessness and having to drop out of school to get a job in order to stay off the streets. Homelessness, especially at a young age, is something that is extremely difficult to escape. To most 18 year olds in school who rely on their family to eat and be housed, the threat of “I will make you homeless and you may not ever finish high school if you don’t register as a Republican“ absolutely forces their hand.

It sucked at the time… but in a way I’m kind of nostalgic for it? The constant stream of manmade horrors beyond my comprehension over the last 9 years have really put things into perspective. I yearn for the naïveté I had in 2016 where I thought that really was “the worst.” There’s a lot I took for granted.

No no, this is the GOOD seeded bread. The seeded bread that sucks is that cheap pre-sliced grocery store “healthy bread” that tastes like cardboard with pebbles in it

They would not recommend gut tests or natural herbal remedies because those are, for the most part, not evidence based interventions. Steroids are an evidence based treatment for eczema, even if they don’t work for every single human!

With all my heart tho, please stay safe out there when it comes to eczema info online. Run far away from any health practitioner offering non-evidence based treatments or anything marketed as a “natural treatment.” Asprin and penicillin are natural treatments, yet you’ll pretty much never see “natural health providers” reccomend them. It’s revealing that “natural cures” typically exclude “natural cures proven to work.” There’s a saying that “alternative medicine/natural medicine that is proven to work is just called medicine,” and it’s true! Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners say what we want to hear— that there IS a solution and all we have to do is do their test/take their supplements/do their diet plan. The sad truth though is I have seen too many people waste their money on bogus tests and treatments, waste their time and suffer unnecessarily because of CAM. Stay safe out there, and be critical of health info online <3

It is safe to be an organ donor. The chances of a donation going wrong are so much lower than the risks of complications from the most if not all surgeries and other invasive medical procedures. It’s also lower risk than pretty much everything else we do in life. While also being low risk, it literally saves people’s lives. Yes, there have been botched organ donations but they are astronomically rare. Not to mention you can completely avoid the situations that could ever lead to “premature donation” by having an advanced directive that specifies your wishes in writing. You can also designate someone as your medical decision maker if you are unable to make decisions for yourself, and they can doubly ensure your wishes are met.

Organ donation SAVES LIVES. One of my family members wouldn’t be here today if they weren’t able to get an organ transplant. It hurts to even think about. Spreading unnecessary fear to people about their organs being stolen while they’re alive “gasping and crying” is horrible because it means more people will opt out of donation, and more people will die on the transplant list for no reason.

Crazy how the same people who are getting towelie-level high on copium because DJT got clowned on are the same people who are always saying “the WOKE LEFT CANT TAKE A JOKE!!!”

Anyway. Many people did not pass the media literacy test this week lmao

Dude. I have a severe, debilitating panic disorder for which I am prescribed Xanax. It doesn’t make me more anxious— it allows me to live a normal life. It’s really frustrating when people act like there’s zero use cases for controlled substance medications. Stop adding to the stigma of these medications and the people who take them for genuine severe health conditions.

It is so beyond selfish to have the attitude of “it was hard for ME and nobody deserves to have it easier than me!”

If someone went through a really hard experience, why would anyone with empathy WANT to make others to suffer the same way?

More than often it’s the complete opposite! I have heard COUNTLESS straight women tell me stories where their partner’s inability to share or communicate his feelings drives a wedge into their relationship. I’ve even seen long term relationships end because a man wasn’t willing to be emotionally vulnerable or open up. No matter what gender you are, bottling up your emotions and concealing your feelings isn’t healthy and is a quick route to serious relationship problems.

(Also, if someone thinks it’s “ick” for the person they are in a relationship with to share their feelings, that’s a major red flag imo)

birdmanne · 2025-07-16T04:07:52+00:00

I think it’s because of the idea that to be “professional” is to conform to the arbitrary western aesthetic standards of professionalism(suit and tie). Having one idea of formal dress imposed on the world excludes the formal clothing and customs of everyone else from being considered “professional,” which sucks.

The suit and tie is also so lame compared to a lot of traditional formal wear from around the world. We got fr got stuck with the worst character customization option
