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.

Por eso apple te da 1000 pavos por los viejos iphone 13 y están tan caros los teléfonos de generaciones anteriores a estar infestados de IA. Por eso gobiernos andan tratando como presuntos delincuentes a los que tienen un pixel con graphene OS. Y todo de tapadillo.

Y todo esto lo van a poder hacer gracias a la IA que meten en todo porque mientras 4 tontopollas hacen dibujos lamentables, las IA graban todo lo que haces con teléfono y lo reportan a las empresas y REPITO, graban y reportan también lo que escribes y al final no mandas.

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

it's real and it's spectacular

another young tory from the article. man, frizzy black hair wrapped in a union jack holding a diet pepper. what could i possibly say that these choices don't already?

another young tory from the article. man, large black plastic glasses with a blue suit and tie holding his hand at his midsection like
napoleon. his expression that says his father will sue you if you punch him but you're definitely gonna punch him anyway.

another young tory from the article. young woman, shoulder length brown hair, pink blouse and black pants. she's looks fine actually but you know she's not because she's in an article about young tories. what cute young leftist hurt her? she won't say.

another young tory from the article. this besuited young man is more ginger than anyone has ever ginged. his hands are behind his back and he's smiling a gap toothed smile that could be endearing if you didn't know he'd just been told he'll be coming into his trust fund this year and would never have to work again.

"Pritzker and Newsom see it as a defining challenge of this moment that Trump is consolidating authoritarian power daily, and using it to subjugate and dominate Blue America as if it’s akin to an enemy nation within."

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

A surprisingly large number of them think the way to connect with Gen Z is "dress like Sylvester McCoy's Doctor Who."

A screen grab of a Times article. The photograph depicts three men and a woman - according to the caption these are Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin, Daniel Campbell and Glesni Reece.

Charles is in tweeds and a fedora, Rhys sports a combover and a question mark pullover as worn by the seventh Doctor Who. Daniel wears a blue "Make Britain Great Again" baseball cap. Glesni, unlike the others, is not wearing an outlandish costume, just a black tailored jacket over a white blouse.

Text reads:

Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future
The Conservatives know they have a problem with Gen Z voters. At the party conference, The Times met a new breed of activists who are embracing the challenge

This is Rev David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest. He's one of three clergymen that ICE shot in the head.
