AI can write a chord progression and lyrics but can use the power of music to blame its problems on its ex?
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Coke's AI ad from last year the creative agency revealed that they had to generate 85 minutes of footage just to find 15 usable seconds.
Everyone who attempts making an AI ad quickly discovers it's actually far MORE work and cost to make usable than just going out and shooting the damn thing.

Always hilarious to see ppl realize that even the most benign piece of media is the outcome of many many hours work and decision making, and slopping loads of shit together with no direction somehow doesn't quite feel the same - probably spent more on this than a normal ad

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

A major case was decided last week against a Georgia ban on gender affirming care for transgender people who are incarcerated.
The previous policy was cruel, forcing medical detransition.

Three years ago, our rising progressive movement came within 1.6% of victory in NY-10. We built a powerful grassroots movement that energized thousands of voters who were hungry for real progressive change on housing, healthcare, climate justice, and economic equality.

In 2014 I took a bolt bus to Baltimore and before the bus left, a guy wearing Google glass got on and asked “is this the bus to Philly?” And the driver said “No, Baltimore” and the guy said “ok great” and sat down. It took until Delaware for him to realize the bus wasn’t stopping in Philly.
Glassholes were driven from polite society. It could happen again.

Ah, yes. It's normal for Christians to be visibly grossed out by gay people, because it's a sin.
You know, famously, Jesus approached a prostitute--a sinner--and then shouted, "Ew, gross!" in front of everybody who was about to stone her just so he could hear the crowd laugh. It's true, look it up.
