@womble Too true

@zzt I’ll never forgive the tech industry for replacing writers & editors like me with this drivel. I never truly knew how unnecessary my skills were considered to be until LLMs came along and ripped the mask off. This whole thing hurts to look at and to read… and it doesn’t matter to them. They think it’s good.

I’m bitter to be pushed out of tech but very glad not to be forced to create this soulless lifeless garbage.

@wackJackle @Infrogmation @cryptica @sennoma Okie dokes. To me and many others, it hurts your credibility. Hope you’re right. Muting you now.

@wackJackle
@Infrogmation @cryptica @sennoma It isn’t, so, not the reality we’re living in.

@wackJackle
@Infrogmation @cryptica @sennoma Yes, why should you bother to receive feedback with curiosity & mutual respect? Why indeed?

You ask “So what?” Here is my response:

Sharing this image seems like an efficient way to spread the message, but it comes at the cost of your credibility. Our word is more important than ever. Don’t compromise it with mistruths, not even little teeny ones. This is not a photograph from 2020. It isn’t real. It may visually represent resistance, but that doesn’t justify promoting it as real. You are putting comrades in danger.

@wackJackle
@Infrogmation @cryptica @sennoma It’s unfortunate you cannot even choose to respond maturely to disagreement.

@wackJackle @Infrogmation @cryptica @sennoma You are determined to justify your dishonesty. So be it.

@wackJackle @Infrogmation @cryptica @sennoma I already read the other comments before I replied. The video is not the photo. I am talking about the photo. Is it possible for you to defend the photo without conflating it with the video? Is it possible for you to respond to what I and others have actually stated? I disagree that the video justifies spreading mistruth. You are convincing no one with this avoidant dismissal.

@Infrogmation
@cryptica @wackJackle @sennoma OP, I understand you feel strongly about the resistance; we all do. Sharing this image seems like an efficient way to spread the message, but it comes at the cost of your credibility. Our word is more important than ever. Don’t compromise it with mistruths, not even little teeny ones. This is not a photograph from 2020. It isn’t real. It may visually represent resistance, but that doesn’t justify promoting it as real. You are putting comrades in danger. Today you feel justified in sharing this; what will you justify tomorrow? On this trajectory, muting you would be protective. Please reconsider.
