  • I have no idea how Venus Flytraps are pollinated but I am now imagining this is designed to try to keep pollinators well away from the jaws of death.

  • darkladynyara

  • That is in fact exactly why they're like this! (Several species of carnivorous plants do the same thing)

  • optimysticals

  • The plant version of it's not stupid if it works.

  • Your news this week in a form not written to make you feel like shit: Unfortunately the Vine reboot is AI free because it is being done to train AI. Sorry.

  • caspercryptid

  • I don't normally vague quite this directly, especially on posts I think are liable to spread, but quite a lot of people who saw the OP I'm referring to here have thanked me for sharing the information neutrally (hi prev, sorry I just happen to be jumping off here because I was thinking about it anyway)

    I am a PTSD sufferer, and one of the symptoms of PTSD is hypervigilance. Constantly watching your back, constantly aware of any shifts in mood in a room, always paranoid, always looking for the other shoe to drop— its not a fun way to live, and it is not a sign of a healthy mind. You should NOT be constantly checking every single piece of good news you recieve, you are allowed to be happy about things you see in passing, and a lot of the time, they are good things, or maybe you can get good things out of them. Despite the probable side effects of this project it IS going to restore a massive amount of lost media to the web, so we'll get to have that, even if we're not actually going to get a platform safe from AI influence altogether.

    And this could still be jumping to the worst case scenario. We haven't seen a TOS. sure, this company does AI training elsewhere, but every tech company in the world does that, so maybe this is unrelated. Do I believe that, no. But it's not stupid to hope for it. Hope is never stupid.

    Also, the sources for this aren't actually that easy to find. It's like four pages deep to get from the new diVine company to the sponsor of the company to their other projects to the section of their other projects that mentions AI. It took me a bit, and I KNEW IT WAS THERE.

    So, in summation: yeah, this is probably a con. It's a major bummer, because this is a difficult time to be on the internet, and we deserved a W. I think we're just gonna have to pick our favorite album and movie releases to get us through, and let go of the hopes of AI free social media for a little longer. But at least some lost media will be restored, and remember— none of you were stupid for being optimistic about this. We can have nice things. They'll just have to wait a little while.

  • i hate when theres an actual good post on sex positivity and then someone has to bring up how wrong "antis" are. like in the context of proshipping. can you be serious. this isnt shipping discourse we're not talking about your ao3 fanfic stupid ass

  • seymourworld

  • like im not going to pretend some people who willingly associate w the label "anti" in this context Are often sex negative, pro censorship, whatever. but when we're talking about statewide porn bans that are being leveraged to ban pretty much whatever even looks like it might allude to a trans person existing somewhere, the last thing i want to hear about is how its actually the fault of people on the side of shipping discourse that you dont like
