The conflation of ML and genAI is really disingenuous. Nobody is rejecting the use of ML. It's powerful, efficient, and useful, and has been studied and used in products for decades.
genAI is garbage, and yes, it's tremendously easy and morally & ethically imperative to avoid using it

"To become mature is to become kind" is actually beautiful.
Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

You only needed to look at the overwhelming success of stuff like Libs of TikTok, a crowdsourced campaign to get teachers fired for the crime of being gay on social media, to see this. But it seems that for lots of media types, it's only real cancel culture if it's people like them losing their jobs
We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people."
Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

Some say canceling is an act of redress. Others blame it on a mob.
“People have used the word ‘cancel’ so loosely,” Ernest Owens author of “The Case for Cancel Culture,” said, “that everyone’s calling everything a cancellation.”

How cancel culture came for everyone
Few issues in recent years have united the American right as much as their professed hatred of cancel culture. That’s changing.

Of course Trump, the GOP, and their media sock puppets will attack the Dems! There's no scenario on the table where they don't!

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse
In response to California passing a law limiting law enforcement officers' ability to conceal their identities, the president of the Peace Officers Research Association of California contends that police are not subject to democratic control.

Kirks youngest child is about the same age as my son. I will never ever celebrate an infant losing a parent that way, it honestly makes me sick to think about. But we don't have to lie about who he was either. The price of being politically notable is that you don't get fawning eulogies when you die
