This AI was good for a heck of a laugh this morning.
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

It’s rare to see public displays of courage these days. Certainly it’s in short supply with our Tech CEOs and media. But Judge Juan Merchan in Manhattan gave us one for the ages. My write up: https://buff.ly/49JgZzh

Here it comes. Lawsuits based on unfavorable coverage of TFG will have a chilling effect on journalism, even if they don’t stand a chance of success (because facts). One step removed from the dictator playbook of violence against journalists who don’t toe the line.
