Here's my PDF of the Trump allegations and associations timeline with linked citations.

Is Olivia Nuzzi one of those people who got the job from their name, like a dentist named Dr. Tooth
I can't believe a journalist with the last name "Newsie" is the subject of this.

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics.

seriously. as a designer I keep seeing managers produce imagery like this, and they have that same "look what I did, I like it and it's good because I made it" feeling that every designer student gets over early in their career if they're going to be successful... but these managers are in charge
