This is why you're suddenly seeing obvious AI showing this. It's not to sell you on what the AI says. It's to make you doubt the real shit. Unless you're president, then yeah. It's basically a Galaxy Quest Historical Documents scenario at this point.

This is 100% true, apart from 'secretly' should be in double quotes.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I pitched Bruce VilanchAlanche to an AD who works with Asylum.

No, I really did. I mean, I would ABSOLUTELY see it.

But it's not up to their 'high standards.'

We gotta start thinking about things harder before sharing, you can tell this is AI right away if you already loathe AI with every fiber of your being but it's getting harder.

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.

Share a shame:

I had no idea until I was in my 30s that Terre Haute was an actual place in Indiana. I thought it was some midwest nickname for earthenware pottery and the line in A Christmas Story just stretched back to housewares.

Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.

Left: Johnny Cash wearing a pink feather boa, a sparkly gold ascot, and gold glasses with pink feathers at the temples.

Right: Elton John in a black cowboy hat and leather jacket over a plaid shirt.

Fun fact... I was working at [SomeBigCompany] with the bassist for Sanctuary (software testing). I found out because he got excited he was cut a $5K check for royalties for Brütal Legend.

"I don't care enough about the craft to learn the patterns and practices. No vocabulary. Only product."

Commoditization of art is betting on the 'craft' part of it being the part a machine can do because they have no actual fire in them for anything but money. LEARNING the craft is beneath them.

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.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
