The real tell here is that they care more about impressions than actually creating something meaningful. Art isn't even a goal to these people, it's just an otherwise-valueless thing with which one garners clout
AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce

Another one of the "Eric was like the forest gump of the GWOT" stories
As someone who tried to tell McChrystal “no” in a professional setting, I’m happy to expound on the staff dynamic.

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice.

North Korea's secret remote workers are a major threat facing U.S. and European businesses today, taking jobs in Fortune 100 and smaller companies alike. Here's how to recognize and combat the threat.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
