THE SAVING OF LABOUR.
The Robot. "Master, I can do the work of fifty men."
Employer. "Yes, I know that, but who is to support the fifty men?"

Very much like a Black Mirror episode. Read it the end for the twist.
I resisted reading this, but omg - it really was insane… a quick and disturbing read to say the least.
I... oh my god.

Why isn’t the prosecution commenting “Nice try Diddy” when the defense in the Sean Combs trial makes its case? It seems like the perfect moment.

Finally the media got ahold of this story, which first broke here I think. Embarrassing! How do you even do something this idiotic?
It boggles my mind that someone could create an article like this. Gobsmacking. If you don’t want to write, go into a different line of work.

How an AI-generated summer reading list got published in major newspapers
Newspapers around the country, including the Chicago Sun-Times and at least one edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer, published a syndicated book list featuring made-up books by famous authors.

Perfect day for some urban sketching. I drew some houses, but also secretly drew the woman sitting near me. It was a great way to learn about how people hold cups. I felt obliged to give her the drawing after I was done. Who knows what she’ll do with it, but sketching is a great way to meet people!
