A key thing about corporate use of genAI is that it removes all the friction involved between the executives' weird fetish shit and inner thoughts, and public display
It does to corporations what alcohol does to a bigot.

using AI cuts corners on involving people who know better. negativity for christmas is an awful ad concept even if it was made by people - so a creative team would push back on the request. business people like AI doesn't argue, not understanding experts were protecting them from their own bad ideas

McDonald’s pulls AI-generated Christmas advert in the Netherlands. The advert, titled "the most terrible time of the year," depicts Christmas chaos, with Santa caught in a traffic jam and a present-laden cyclist slipping in the snow

An entire thesis about the consequences of the digital attention economy could be written based on this post alone
We first started this story after noticing streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy playing Stake casino games while doing his "pedophile catch" videos, where he would sometimes play on his phone *with* the alleged predators on stream.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Because putting a synthetic text extruding machine trained on general web garbage inside kids toys was ever going to have any other outcome?

“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact.”

my comics advice is: show feet
it sounds like dumb online meme nonsense but it's not; every 2-3 pages make sure you draw your character so their feet show, it grounds them in the environment and forces you to vary your panel composition.

Big challenge for Canada's "sovereign AI" strategy is many political leaders haven't fully internalized that the US poses an existential threat to Canada, this results in naive assumptions that the US will follow rule of law & lazy gaslighting where OpenAI & MS are champions of Canadian sovereignty
The post even acknowledges that Microsoft cannot fully guarantee continuity of service if they are ordered by another country to suspend or halt operations in Canada
