Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.
"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

The ONLY piece of A.I. art that EVER should have been made was that grid of Columbo N64 games

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore
For all the false accusations leveled over decades at comic books, rock music, D&D, TV/movies, and video games for cultivating sociopathic tendencies or brain rot, when a real threat actually arrives, the same cultural pearl-clutchers who railed against that list seem awfully eager to adopt AI.
All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

When the Japanese American National Museum is saying this take it seriously.
We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades.

I can't second this enough. What you need is a set of flexible skills, like critical thinking, textual and semiotic interpretation, media literacy, political competency, and an understanding of how knowledge is produced along with the specifics of a discipline or industry.
"Learn to code" was always bad advice, unless you actually like to code. College students have the best chance of professional success if they major in topics that interest them. Today in @startribune.com. Please tell high school students and parents.

Opinion: College students, go ahead and major in what you love
"The lesson here is simple: Major in what you love, not what you think will get you a job," David M. Perry writes.
