You gotta give artists just not enough budget and they'll do their best work
Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

yeah, this is much better. and it clarifies the problem he's talking about, which is not really about poverty as such, but that routine expenses are either wildly overpriced or poorly financed

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

When the prison guards went on strike, many inmates said they were doing so to preserve their ability to do things like this.
A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

Most people poopooing this piece neglect to point to what measure of income they prefer and why and so should be dismissed,
But far more interesting is the analysis of how the marginal benefit of rising income to standard of living is so crap in the USA

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them
