As Brian Bell (Chair of the MAC) is quoted as saying, the proposed new rules on settlement (apart from being xenophobic, mean-spirited, and contrary to what the vast majority of the public think is fair) are likely to do significant economic damage.

It's just two parallel realities: one for an executive class so enraptured by the promise of labor savings that creative departments are pushed into creating AI slop, and one for everyone else, who view the slop with their own eyes and are repulsed by the rank aesthetics of automation

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
