Queening Chairs - Spanking Benches

Meet "Aitana López".

An agency created an AI model who earns up to $11,000 a month because it was tired of influencers 'who have egos'.

So, AI. Supposedly this could be a good thing. Thus far...I'm not so sure. Part of the Hollywood SAG strike was over studios wanting to pay actors for one day, to "map" their face, body and voice, then have the ability to create movies based on that, in perpetuity, without having to pay the actors...ever again.

There are now a plethora of news articles about teen boys taking photos of teen girls in school, then using AI type editing stuff to make fake nudes of her...without her knowledge, nor consent, passing them around, and she's not even aware of it, initially.

Using an AI model to avoid "influencers" egos and attitudes, I get. Side note on that, I have never, and will never, be "influenced" by some stupid-ass "influencer" on Tik-Tok, YouTube, Instagram, or even mainstream regular TV for that matter...ever. I totally ignore all TV commercials, mute them, same with YouTube, billboards, ads in magazines, fliers in the mail, just ignore them outright, always have.

I saw an article where non-fiction writers are suing AI companies for plagiarism. The literary, music, TV, porn, advertising, architecture and other industries are having every single thing they ever created, "sucked up", swiped, stolen, ripped off, by these companies (of which Facebook, Microsoft, Google etc are included). The companies intend on scanning the Internet and harvesting everything, for their use, without proper credit, or compensation....the greedy unethical fucks. The lawsuits are firing up, globally. This will be a massive, enormous legal battle, which will go on for years, decades, maybe forever.

I know people talk about applications for medical technology, the ability to diagnose disease, figure out treatments and things like that, which would be great. But there's also the aspect of using the same technology to make fake photos and video, for crimes, blackmail, fake political ads, to make people appear as if they're confessing to crimes (which they never did, and don't even know the video was made) and examples of that nature, which is going to create a clusterfuck for courts, juries, anything criminal related, and of course for voters seeing fake ads depicting competitors in a negative light.

What is my point about this? Nothing really, just babbling and rambling. :)

Trumps Thanksgiving Day Message.

That boy needs help. I mean...he's deranged, unhinged, stupid, clueless, nutty, out of touch and just totally insane.

What I want from technology. :)

Legal deadline prompts a slew of celebrity sexual assault lawsuits.

Sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, all needs to be taken seriously, very seriously. What's aggravating about this article and this agenda...is that it is *not* taking the aforementioned...seriously.

This is mostly a last moment money grab by a bunch of pissed off jilted girlfriends, lovers, ex-wives and whatever. Look, I get some people (mostly women, but sometimes men) are violated, traumatized, need time to process and deal with it before wanting to take legal action. But there has to be a limit. You can't pop up 30, 40, 50 or more years later accusing someone of something, with no evidence, no possible way to provide evidence, just to shake them down for some money. Saying this upsets a lot of women. They rant about the "sisterhood" and not sticking together. Fuck that.

I always point out to someone that says something like that to "personalize" it. Meaning, don't think about some random rich guy that might pay out some money, maybe even a few million, the whole "Go get your money girlfriend" thing. Visualize the accused is your younger brother, father, cousin, son, or husband. Visualize a gold digger comes out of the woodwork, claiming that said person, 47 years ago, groped them, grabbed them, had sex with them, it's now a "She said---He Said" thing, no DNA, no witnesses, no evidence...but write me a big ass check and I'll drop the charges...no way.

Remember the Johnny Depp - Amber Heard trial? She accused him of XYZ, turns out *she* was guilty of XYZ, plus ABC, and LMNOP, vile disgusting acts, plus violence, against him. Newsflash...some women lie. People lie. Some human beings...lie. Regardless of sex or gender...some people lie. Just because it's a woman making the accusation does *not* mean it's true. I detest the "Woman as Professional Victim" mentality so prevalant in our society, it's a disservice to women, and to *true* victims of crime, it's not about empowering women, it's not right, it's not fair, it's not just, it needs to stop and be stopped.

So, in this case, these "victims" were not much bothered by whatever effrontery they claim, for decades, in some cases nearly half a century, until a few days before the time-frame to file lawsuits expires, then suddenly the courts are flooded, a vertitable tsunami type flood, with lawsuits...not with the expectation of a trail, a jury, or anyone going to jail, but with the hope and intent of....a massive check to them...and their snake-in-the-grass shady lawyers. Fuck that, fuck them, they should fuck off, all of them.

Okay, I will now shut up, go make some tea, and read a book...or something. :)

Me...trying to find my Thanksgiving day attire. :)

Yes, I know there are readers that are not from the USA, people that do not celebrate this day...however, my point here is not about the day or the history of it, but rather just to be grateful and thankful...as in giving "thanks".

I am thankful for good health.

I am thankful for family and friends.

I am thankful for being born here, of which I had no control, but has given me opportunity.

I am thankful for being blessed so much, in a world where so many people...are not.

I am thankful for those that I've interacted with via this blog, and their own blogs.

I am thankful for those that have been supportive of me, my efforts and their encouragement.

I am thankful for happy days, laughter, snark, silliness and good cheer.

I am thankful for my "puppies and kitties" that have brought me such great joy.

I am thankful for the fact that if I barely even try...I realize I have a great deal to be thankful for.
