Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

if your ideology is based on the idea that it is justifiable to prey on the weak there isn't going to be a meaningful boundary you can draw between looting from the poor and sexually exploiting kids. i don't think every conservative is a pervert but that is the logical conclusion of their beliefs

Do people remember that this same NYT reporter solicited a $30,000 donation from Jeffrey Epstein for a Montessori school and then got pushed out of the Times by Ellen Pollock shortly after?
And he refused to share Epstein's contact info with another NYT reporter assigned to do the piece about him.

Man I hate when people sanctimoniously reply to stuff with “this shouldn’t be surprising to you” but your whole job is to not be surprised by this kind of thing!!
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Republicans are going to try to distance themselves from this, and the media is going to do their best to let them. It's gonna feel like Bush II remixes, everyone pretending they've never heard of this Trump guy and if they did they were always against him, everyone was. History repeats.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

this isn't true! every team owner has the resources to pay any player their fair market value. this is revealed every time a team is sold!
The difference between the Dodgers and almost all other teams is that the Dodgers don’t have to choose who to pay and who not to pay. Their only limitation is the ability to offer playing time.

A lot of people are taking this opportunity to go "god, everyone's so stupid, we're all doomed," but nobody's pointing out that this seems to be a rebranding exercise primarily motivated by declining sales, which I'm going to guess is because Lay's suck and are also like $8 a bag now
