it's getting a bit thin! Here's the Press Gazette page, which they keep up to date, of media outlets that have done AI deals, whether they're adding slop to their output or just taking bribes from OpenAI:

i am sorry to say it's the actual AI image the story is about!

looks like our sneer comrade DisneylandDiplomat (disney6830 on discord), who did the Thinkateria rationalist-parody blog, died in Oct 2022. From Reddit Sneerclub:
Hello, I am writing since I saw this sub is a bit active again. I am wondering if anyone remembers the blog “thinkateria” or the reddit user DisneylandDiplomat who often posted links to promote it here. he was my little brother and he killed himself in October of 2022, after deleting the blog, and I only saw his reddit activity afterwards. I think it was satirical writing making fun of these other bloggers discussed here. He was very private and this sub is really the only insight into his state of mind at that time that I have. There’s no point to this post except I feel a need to share that he is gone and this is the only place I know he had any connections with. It must have been hard for everyone who talked about this so early on.
thinking how Tony Albanese was actually a reasonably cool guy of mainly good views for decades, then he becomes PM and has his spine replace with lime jelly.
IIRC this was the post that made Daniel Harper start his nazi-tracking podcast I Don't Speak German
