1/ It seems to me that the rise of exploitative AI content generation and the decline of art education are linked. This is all just personal musing with little-to-no literary support behind it, I admit freely, so take it as you will.

It's clear that *most* big corporations that have made a lot of progress in recent years with DEI did so purely for PR reasons. When prevailing attitude shifts or a greater threat to their stability emerges, the switch flips right back. Was never about values.

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.
