They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Once again, I point you to Deth Veggie's First Law of the Internet: Lie to every single site about everything you can.
an actually useful thing to do if you ever think you’ll make people mad enough at you to attempt a dox is to occasionally throw some inconsequential small biography lies. shit that would only be interesting/frustrating to someone trying to dox you. “when I lived in Cleveland in 2021”, type of thing

I know everything feels like so fucking much all the goddam time, but this is such a crucial point:
Collective action to apply pressure still gets shit done. You might feel like "just" 1 person, & that's because you are— but physical crowds & values-based movements are made of individuals, together

It’s important to remember that public pressure has worked to move the needle on things like this before, and it can work again. They want us to think everything they do is inevitable. It’s not

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I'd rather work minimum wage than work for a company that would fire me for saying exactly what a piece of shit Charlie Kirk was.
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
