Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Disney+ moving into user-generated AI could allow the kind of "contradictions" that Walt never would have allowed. That's why you don't see a Tomorrowland cast member walking through Main Street U.S.A. It spoils the story. Anyhow, the latest from @thr.com: www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
Disney’s AI Gamble Is Riskier Than You Think

Hi! There's been lots of doomscrolling lately because many things are awful. However, sleep deprivation makes everything worse. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late tonight. Max loves you.

I think online opinions would be slightly less insufferable if folks just qualified their pronouncements with “I think…” or “My favorite is…” or something similar. And there. I said what I said. 😁
