They are Desperate for us all to use copilot for mundane things. Like cut and paste. It's so unwelcome.

Yeeess, nice. 'ma questi vanno a undici', etc. From the Sforza castle in Milan, right? I saw some great crazy old axes there many years ago. Only 19thC? I had thought older. Beautiful anyway

This is really shitty rhetoric.
Shitty opinions.
Shitty little minds.
For shame, America, for shame.

Grim.

Because they are a huge soulless mediacorps?

This is very cool.
Made me wonder if this is an example of the principle of requisite variety. I.e. that the previous (negative) flood incidents were made more likely from attempts to force-simplify the water system. And of course the diversity of life in that altered system is good too.

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate

Yes, we can create money, and we should do so sometimes.
Doesn't mean it's 'magic'.
Doesn't mean there is never a downside.
Discussing the when and why is important, no? Furthering the understanding is good too...

This is the bit that is slightly magic. I.e. that sentiment/confidence thing. And theatre does change how people feel.
