"Figure out how we can put this on a press release" seems like the driving force behind the entire AI bubble
i have heard tell of a company telling studios to implement some form of AI in their process (doesn't matter what) so that they can tell their bosses AI is being used to make a show

The day the mainstream media starts reporting for some reason that the president is a li'l sleepy, gosh who knows why, and the day he gets booed by a full football stadium, is the day Schumer and his braintrust cave. It's quite something!

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

As a NYer, ”real” “small town” America now looks like a sexual freak zoo run by genital-obsessive xenophobes who make women into living dolls and shoot each other. Mamdani’s NYC (and mine) is a safe, wholesome place where neighbors help each other, do scavenger hunts, ride bikes, and birdwatch.
