Savage article. The more I think about this, the more I am convinced that a total ban on GenAI would be more efficient that any regulation; even if it would anger those who want to generate as much porn as possible with their favourite franchise characters.

"decentralized" means that you no longer have to rely on a large, complex system run by a few unreachable elites! instead, you get to rely on one guy who has to leave his computer on all day, and will never abuse his tiny amount of power

Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed

Bari Weiss has sold her company, The Free Press, to manage the decline of broadcast news at CBS. How many ways can it go wrong?

Not an expert on this stuff but I have the sense that no one backing Weiss understands that what she has done her whole career, opinion-based news-flavored content, is distinct from news reporting.

max tani @maxtani.bsky.social · 4d

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

To be fair, this would also be extremely aggrevating coalition building-wise.

Sure, Reform and the Conservatives would go hand-in-hand but that is still not a governing majority. And not even sure coalitions on the other side would work...
