Don’t miss today’s extra special newsletter from Reo! Fuck AI!
I was SO excited to start fielding pitches for @coyotemedia.org. Then we realized that a bunch of the ones we were getting were AI generated. I wrote about why I hate that, not just because it's lazy, but because it makes me second guess everything www.coyotemedia.org/yap-zone-the...

Even if mostly honored in the breach, the cultural stigma Gen X attached to selling out was a good thing and should be restored. A culture where people are emboldened to admit I BELIEVE IN NOTHING & WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY is inestimably worse than one where people even pretend to have ethics.
