It’s also just insane to think that 18 years ago I was performing with Claire Boucher at a loft in Montreal and now she’s directly involved in the downfall of civilization, or whatever is going on here.

Sure. But it’s not just Grimes I’m reacting to. It’s the mind-boggling combination of TESCREAL ideology with psychedelic drug culture, dated vision of hipster nightlife, lame-ass corporate CEOs and the world’s most famous YouTuber. My brain can’t process anymore.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.
