We had to remove this post by Hanna Bervoets- very subtle horror that leaves you feeling unclean
Tender is the Flesh by Agustin’s Bazterrica- what if the government propaganda-ed you into cannibalism?

Some horror-y, some thriller-y, some ive rec’d elsewhere on here:
-the wasp factory, iain banks (!!)
-fever dream, Samanta schweblin (!!)
-I’m thinking of ending things, Iain reed
-out, natsuo kirino
-the faces, tove ditlevsen
-Eileen, otessa moshfegh
-we have always lived in the castle, Shirley jackson
None are too gory but i did find out and the wasp factory to be more disturbing personally.
theyre manga so not traditional novels, but I read through both Tomie and Uzumaki by junji ito a couple years back, and they’re deliciously creepy, scary, a little gross.

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN.
My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
