Used to be that robber barons would give away vast sums of wealth to charitable causes to launder their reputations. Now the billionaires just try to control the narrative by buying up the media companies
Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

To be clear just because their creeps are resigning from their well paid positions we should still shame them every moment of their lives.

It's amazing to me that a whole bunch of neurodivergent people who tend to speak plainly get this particular label. As a person who had it once before and people rallied for it to be lifted for me, i find it exceptionally telling regarding the usefulness of AI in the face of human nonconformity.
@nora.zone was randomly labeled “Rude” which might be the most condescending content label anyone has ever put on anything

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
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.

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.
Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

What I love about this is it's just the kid reared back, about to punch. And the caption says OKAY.
Aesthetically, though, it hints at the Gadsden (Don't Tread On Me Snake flag) in that it's a black rendering of the kid & word on a flat Gadsden yellow background.
