No text that is AI-generated may be published in our magazine. No AI-generated art may be used as a Current Affairs illustration. When you read Current Affairs, you are going to be reading the thoughts of a human, and seeing the results of human artistry.”
“Why We’re Banning AI”
@drahardja Excellent news, let us hope you have others who follow your example!
@drahardja Like the Fediverse, they've now conveniently labelled themselves as 'unadulterated data source' for AI data suckers to train their data adulterer machines.
Policy is the only thing that will save us.
@drahardja Thank you!
@drahardja thanks!
@drahardja guess you won't be using Linux....
What does Linux have to do with:
“No text that is AI-generated may be published in our magazine. No AI-generated art may be used as a Current Affairs illustration.”
@stepheneb @drahardja Linux uses AI... Connect the dots...
@jeffmcneill @drahardja the dots don’t connect
@stepheneb @drahardja sorry I can't help you, I use Linux
@drahardja are you using Linux? Linux uses AI... Connect the dots...
Oct 25, 2026, 2:05 PM@drahardja as an aside they seem like a really really amazing magazine, a breath of fresh air compared to all the wishywashiness of centrofascist msm
@drahardja Great editorial. I just subscribed!
@drahardja Looks like unions work. Who would have thought that many people have better negotiating power than one.
If only there way a way for a whole country to reject parasitism and plagiarism in unison...
The only part that's missing is spelling it "AI" with quotes so everyone knows it has little to do with intelligence and a lot to do with being a compressed archive or human knowledge and behavioral patterns.

spoilers: left, high factuality
That's great!
@drahardja I love when a good collective bargaining agreement comes together.
@drahardja Oh they finally unionized? That’s nice (I unsubscribed several years ago after, apparently, employees tried to organize and Nathan J Robinson threw a hissy fit)
