“The Nazis were inconvenient, but the use of GenAI that you find everywhere else is a bridge too far!!”
that's my literally face reading all of this.
i can excuse racism, but i draw the line on AI on X.
Yeah, I'm not going to defend training AI with copyrighted works... But I'm not going to waste energy siding with anyone who was okay with X. If you stayed in X, you'vr made your own bed. Now don't cry because the owner is an AI-pandering nazi, we all knew that already.
It threatens their bottom line. That's all that matters.
Generally in Japan they don’t see much of Elon’s “prowesses”, so I can kinda understand why artists like him might not have caught wind of the Nazi direction the platform has taken until it actually hit them.
And yes, Ignorantia non excusat, but it’s still something, at least.
For anyone wondering, "Ignorantia non excusat" is Latin, and it means "I speak Latin, and you don't. Suck my balls."
Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.
Factum!
Japanese here. They do know.
They choose to ignore.
Precisely because they sympathize.
I’m not saying every Japanese person still on there is unaware of that, but the general coverage is MUCH smaller than what you get if you’re in English-speaking spaces.
I also heavily doubt someone of korean origins like Boichi is a Sanseito supporter, but that’s just my guess.
Sure. But the other artists in the article are English🌐 users.
Japan is addicted to their SNS anyways.
The ones in the US barely have any excuse, I agree, but it’s better to leave it late than never. Then eventually when Instagram enshittifies under that aspect too they’ll find another platform (hopefully on the fediverse).
Meta{Insta is as Nazi as it can be.
