I think because the target audience is the shareholder.
What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

Guerilla beaver bombing and "Locations of unlicensed beavers" sound very much like a weird cyberpunk story I want to read.

The Great Escape is one of the most famous movies from the 1960s.
Based off a true story, the film greatly exaggerated American involvement.
In reality, one of the main figures of the escape was Canadian, along with the 150 Canadians who assisted.
This is the story.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

This is as fascinating as it is entertaining. DIY guerilla alt text. Though my brief experience on Mastodon makes me believe its users would be apoplectic with any subversive alt text, no matter for art or entertainment purposes.
Gonna see what I can get away with in other forums.

Still hurts.
In 1994, it seemed that the stars were aligning for the Montreal Expos.
They had the best record in baseball, and a World Series title was a real possibility.
Then...it all ended with a players' strike.
This is the story of the Expos 1994 season.

Enjoyed watching the last Black Sabbath event, surely Ronnie James Dio was worthy of a wee mention on the night?
The guy only participated on two of their greatest albums.
