When AI generated content came out, I had executives from all over tell me human art would still be wanted bc it's premium, tailored.

But now we've got stuff like this, for an A24 movie poster

Conservationists want to ensure disused fishponds revert to their natural state as mangrove forests, but they fear a new law to boost the struggling salt industry could see these fishponds converted to salt farms instead, rubbing salt in mangrove wound.

These property managing agents are gangsters, plain and simple. This is racketeering. £16,000 on service charge on top of rent and mortgage is unconscionable, they actually want people to kill themselves?

it seems obvious that facial recognition defeats the most empowering characteristic of mass protest (anonymity in a crowd) but i think we've yet to reckon with the effect this will have on free speech in countries like the UK restofworld.org/2024/facial-re…

An entire Economist article on famine in Gaza doesn’t say the word “Israel” once. Not even when describing damage to farmland and water facilities or severely restricted aid deliveries.

Saying *who* is destroying the farmland and restricting aid seems like basic info to include.

And a bunch of VC-backed firms have rushed in to build the 'Uber-for-nursing.'

I wrote about what it's like to work for one of these platforms:
