It says a lot about how resistance was seen during Trump I; the admin was seen as kind of a joke, so standing up to them was easy and people made a show of doing it. By contrast, now they’re seen as a threat, so orgs like WaPo and others have leadership that have mostly rolled over.

Eventually, if we still exist as a species, someone is going to write a great book about the co-option of both "therapy speak" and "equalities language", and how they were weaponised before they were eviscerated (which is the final goal, of course)

uh oh, things are happening dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

CHI
Al shaming is a social phenomenon in which negative judgements are associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (Al). This includes comparing someone's work with Al-generated work as a means of disparagement, voicing suspicion or alleging that someone has used Al to undermine their reputation, or blaming the poor quality of an artefact on Al use.
Common justifications of Al shaming include recourse to Al's societal harms, its technical limitations, and lack of creativity. I argue that, more fundamentally than any of these, Al shaming arises from a class anxiety induced in middle class knowledge workers, and is a form of boundary work to maintain class solidarity and limit mobility into knowledge work. I discuss the role of Al shaming in protecting the privileged class of knowledge work and its attendant harms.
