One could argue that the death of well-written sitcoms and dramas, and the rise of reality TV, brought us to this point.

And ultimately, that all came down to TV that was cheap to produce but high on returns.

We literally lost more carefully thought-out plot lines and cultural models.
at the hope of not sounding like a 'well akshuley' meme.

A lot of us do, or did when we where in the game. Our media models, mostly in young adult dramas, almost always had a "well listen dumbass' episode to set the point. These days, it's all "Real Housewives Survivor: Jersey Shore"

A massive problem in technology fields is people making things that nobody asked for and not understanding why it is rejected. We should strive to fix a problem, not create a solution.
Lots of them are panicking that AI uptake isn't fast enough and they might run out of momentum to do the sweep they are attempting to do on society.

This isn't about AI, it's about the window in which they have permission to remould society.

So the staffer who posted the racist video of the Obama's was doing so as directed by Trump, and it is the official stance of the United States?
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover

LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I watched it and you would have to be an absolute moron to find any value in that clip.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Republicans had good ideas and were good at doing things.
chaos, corruption, ethnic cleansing, economic stagnation. that’s what the republican party delivers when they have full control of the federal government

Trump Concentration Camps.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.
