It's fascinating how much the right has monopolized the narrative of people getting "canceled." There are actually plenty of high-profile creatives that the alt-right has driven off of projects and IPs.
The thing is, they don't disappear bc they have actual talent.

Rage fades eventually.
But if you can't at least scream together into the void, if you hold it inside and try to bury and forget it, it rots in your heart before it goes.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is going to hear West Virginia's effort to ban the state's only transgender athlete, 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson.
Win or lose, I need your help making sure Becky knows she's a hero for standing up for what's right

"ChatGPT is at minimum a soft bullshitter or a bullshit machine, because if it is not an agent then it can neither hold any attitudes towards truth nor towards deceiving hearers about its (or, perhaps more properly, its users’) agenda."

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
