That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
BuzzFeed sells "Hot Ones" studio for $82.5 million as it pursues more AI-driven content
The company said the sale will allow it to depend less on human-created content in favor of "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

NYU Admin is completely out of control, arresting faculty and community members for peacefully protesting for disclosure and divestment, declaring some of those faculty "persona non grata." Just wild.
UPDATE: NYPD have arrested at least two of those faculty members. Arrests ongoing!!
‼️BREAKING: 3 NYU faculty at today’s peaceful rally outside of Bobst Library have been declared PNG and barred from campus. No warnings or explanation of alleged policy violations. Incidentally, all the faculty are Jewish. Order came from Provost Georgina Dopico. More to follow.

From trying to paint "Among Us" in a sinister light to media outlets either refusing to publish or misrepresenting the contents of Luigi Mangione's note, there a lot of bad reporting on a straightforward case.
