You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

idk guys maybe we should try calling the amazon rain forest “sovereign indigenous lands” more often because i’m still seeing people talk about it like some sort of vast terra nullis where there are only animals–you know, like a colonialist

There are lots of indigenous people and tribes here, and their culture is shared a lot in my hometown — I’m from Manaus which is a city literally in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. So, yeah, people need to stop talking like that.

*raises my hand to ask a question* what if we collectively refused to refer to AI as ‘AI’? it’s not artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence doesn’t currently exist, it’s just algorithms that use stolen input to reinforce prejudice. what if we protested by using a more accurate name? just spitballing here but what about Automated Biased Output (ABO for short)

I’ve been informed that in australia, “Abo” is a slur against Aboriginal people. therefore a respectful and clear differentiation must be made:

1. when spoken aloud, 'A.B.O’ (Automated Biased Output) should have the distinct pronunciation of an acronym (Aee-Bee-Oh).
2. the written form becomes a little trickier in the age of social media, where periods and capitalization are often considered optional. therefore, i would suggest a less common punctuation mark to distinguish the acronymic version of “Automated Biased Output”

in summary: a more descriptive, respectful, and practical term for Artificial Intelligence is, quite logically, A/B/O

does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man’s neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for “curly hair in medieval paintings”. it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it’s so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don’t wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something
