Can anyone put their finger on exactly what Donald Trump is trying to achieve, & why?
If he's trying to make himself the most reviled person since Adolf Hitler, how exactly does that benefit him or anyone else?

The quality of AI used in advertising depends on human creatives producing it. An ad inviting you to spend Christmas in a junk food joint is a loser idea to begin with. But Coca-Cola has used AI in ads to great effect. Smart creatives make good art whatever the media. Lazy creatives make slop.
McDonald's pulls AI-generated Christmas advert following backlash
McDonald's said the moment served as "an important learning" as it explored "the effective use of AI".

Today is the four year anniversary of Starbucks Workers United unionizing its first store.
Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.
Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.
