Reminder that JK Rowling sees any support of Harry Potter as an endorsement of her political beliefs, and she uses Harry Potter royalties to further her transphobic hate campaign.

There's a broader point here that part of the entire impetus behind genAI implementation and adoption is to make large portions of the workforce "redundant" -- i.e. lay off a bunch of people to save labor cost, with no clear place for the labor to go.
