I do not know what editors are supposed to do about the flood of AI-generated pitches. I can't be the only editor who's been caught out once or twice over my career by a writer (or a source) who was making something up. Now you can make up a whole article in seconds.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I know my vibe on here is of a man incadescent with rage about politics, and I am that, but mostly I sit quietly drinking tea and talking about RPGs with my friends. I would love for that to be all I did, but in truth everything is politics. We must fight, and we must win. And it will never end.
