This is fucking insane. We’re being strip-mined as a society. #mastodaoine

If you post generative AI we can't be friends and you shouldn't be let near a toaster let alone a computer.

Plus ça change. Israel de facto controls the whole Mediterranean now through piracy while the EU preoccupies itself with drowning migrants https://www.caricatures-ireland.com/global-sumud-flotilla/

@stancarey@mastodon.ie @clickhere@mastodon.ie we live in an Ireland created by people who flew in government helicopters to open their friend's off licence in Leitrim while their driver drove the car from Dublin to collect them.

@kelpana@mastodon.ie @stancarey@mastodon.ie @clickhere@mastodon.ie it's good we're using European precedents because we'd probably misunderstand the brief and create pedal-powered trains or something.
Show some bloody respect to your fellow creatives. While many musicians are vocally visibly advocating against AI unfortunately many musicians are out of hand peddling this crap at the moment for posters etc. I’ve stood in solidarity with musicians on various issues over the years, I’ll have a long memory for who’s treating the visual arts as disposable in the future. Good luck competing with AI “music” on Spotify I guess.
(Not all musicians, other artforms are at it too, etc etc)

@sabrinadent@mastodon.ie not at all. I’m glad to have found out and might not have but for your post.

@sabrinadent@mastodon.ie @james@jamesgallagher.social absolutely gutted to read that. Internet pal of long standing. A genuinely warm and helpful person.
Good people I know in Cork have a very sick child and have had to park self-employment go look after him. Can you help? https://gofund.me/063d9b6ff #mastodaoine
It’s going to get too dear for us to block out our feelings with alcohol so then we’re going to start burning stuff down.
Replying to
@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social cool cool use of generative AI. Who cares about artists’ copyright or the environment. You know who else *loves* using AI? Good job good job 💯

@james you think a story like CAHMS can’t get any worse, but the HSE will always find a new crack of cruelty to ooze into.

@clickhere@mastodon.ie @stancarey@mastodon.ie oh I railed against the we all partied line at the time, didn’t mean it like that at all. Sorry for the trigger!
Replying to
@stancarey@mastodon.ie @clickhere@mastodon.ie I think that's sometimes left out in analysis of today's Ireland, the legacy of the decision makers when the money came. We're kinda coy about how off our fucking heads we were during this era. It was a kind of Brexity self-loathing with a massive credit card allowance.
Replying to
@nantes you just know that RTÉ is going to use the commercial confidentiality excuse for any enquiries about how much they were paid even though it’s public money. I hope to be wrong but I bet I’m not.

@clickhere@mastodon.ie @stancarey@mastodon.ie we're in Irish society whether we like it or not! The good thing is "we" (the subset) can have honest conversations about it.
Replying to
@nantes there's a Nevin Maguire show in Portugal on the Player at the moment and there's no credit for the (bland) theme music and I HAVE STRONG SUSPICIONS
Man who answers to nobody somehow appointed to oversee "rejuvenation" of Dublin (small mercy at least we're rid of him in Health): https://web.archive.org/web/20260422103147/https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/2026/04/22/new-dublin-regeneration-role-for-robert-watt-is-secondment-with-no-competitive-process/ #mastodaoine #dublin

Jesus Christ. Licence fee- and taxpayer-funded RTE's new music themes were created by Wisebuddah, a UK-based production company. #mastodaoine #ireland https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/rtes-outsourcing-to-uk-firm-for-new-radio-1-jingles-cost-irish-artists-income-of-up-to-100000-a-year/a721428862.html
