Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

They are all salesmen at the same company and they know their place, they step aside for the big dogs, and they try not to get fired.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

AI is here to stay*

*poison communities of color, effect the upward transfer of wealth from creative to the capitalist class, generate fascist propaganda, all while being unfit for any other real purpose

Hell yeah, time to smoke space weed and touch the weird space worm that just appeared in the black mud here

It has been this way since 2016 at least, and I don't think there's any meaningful effort to tackle the fact that the US is no longer a representative democracy

Adzes @adzes.bsky.social · 2d

I don't generally like to politics post or doom post or w/e, but I don't think it could be any more apparent that the US is being run by a bunch of unaccountable fascist apparatchiks who take turns elder-abusing a shitty old man in cognitive decline.
