Some of you weren't involved in animal rights protests in the 1990s, when married spy cops impregnated activists just to get information and boy; does it show.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

I've said it before, but I think secondhand text books, cookery books and craft patterns published prior to 2023 are going to become valued objects.
If AI continues to rise and the internet becomes increasingly unreliable I suspect that we are going to see more and more people move back to older ways of consuming media. Print publications, physical Blu-rays, and reference books will start to make a resurgence.

To see how Labour stitched the UK up in today's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA, you have to turn to the US readout of what they're getting in return.
It spells out what was as clear as mud in the UK government's own press release: we will pay more for medicines.

All I can say is, if you're a working person earning less than £71k who honesly believes benefit claimants are earning that much, quit your job. Go on. What could go wrong?

Mine is that my 11yo used the phrase 'AI slop' last week completely unprompted, before spending 3 hours sketching with a pencil.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother
