Possible upside of the AI bubble: getting high school English teachers the barest amount of respect from Administration.
And, arguably, the humanities as a whole getting some begrudging respect - even if only because STEM is looking unimaginably stupid by comparison right now.
Y'know, beef tallow fries could've probably done well at steakhouses without the stench of Eau de Fascism turning people off of it.
You're already going there to have some meat, might as well infuse the fries with some extra beefy flavour.
It didn't hit me until now, but "fully automatic sexual harassment" acronymises to "FASH", and that is pretty fitting for something like this
New 404 Media article: Elon Musk's Grok AI Will 'Remove Her Clothes' In Public, On X
So we can add "fully automatic sexual harassment" to the list of reasons Twitter can die in a fire
New piece from Soatok/Dhole Moments: Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI
If you've heard of him before, its likely from that attempt to derail an NFT project with porn back in 2021.
ETA: Baldur Bjarnason has also commented on it:
This is honestly a pretty sensible take on this all. That it comes from somebody with a "fursona" shouldn't surprise anybody who has been paying attention.
Hot take: If you voted Labour, this is on you.

Without going into too much detail (because I am not well read on this and am likely to be wrong about a lot of it), one of the many issues that Abe addressed during his leadership was Japan’s declining birthrate.

To a capitalist, the greatest sin is paying the worker their fair due.
Quick update on the ongoing copyright suit against OpenAI: The federal judge has publicly sneered at Facebook's fair use argument:
"You have companies using copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products," said Chhabria to Meta's attorneys in a San Francisco court last Thursday.
"You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person's work, and you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person… I just don't understand how that can be fair use."
The judge itself does seem unconvinced about the material cost of Facebook's actions, however:
"It seems like you're asking me to speculate that the market for Sarah Silverman's memoir will be affected by the billions of things that Llama [Meta's AI model] will ultimately be capable of producing," said Chhabria.
Ah, right. Yeah, I can see your point. If it isn't necessary to survive (e.g. food, water), or it doesn't have an immediate use case (e.g. ammunition), its probably some form of fiat.
I gotta say, this does look like an interesting little rabbit-hole to go down.
