Of course, no one thinks t-shirts are underwear anymore. The same is true of leggings. Most people would be shocked if a woman appeared in public in her actual underwear (by today's definition), but wouldn't react the same to the pic on the right. Thus, modesty has to be contextual.
Two photos. The first shows Dale wearing a t-shirt, which reveals the outline of his nipple. The second shows a woman in a white zip-up jacket and black leggings.

Lawyers for the Raines told the Financial Times that OpenAI had requested a full list of attendees from Adam’s memorial, which they described as “unusual” and “intentional harassment”, suggesting the tech company may subpoena “everyone in Adam’s life”. OpenAI requested “all documents relating to memorial services or events in the honour of the decedent including but not limited to any videos or photographs taken, or eulogies given . . . as well as invitation or attendance lists or guestbooks”, according to the document obtained by the FT.

Don’t know who made this but thank you
Baudrillard’s 4 stages of simulacra applied to pumpkin spice Stage one (next to picture of pumpkin): Initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality Stage two (next to picture of pumpkin pie): the sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality Stage three (next to Starbucks pumpkin spice latte): the sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists Stage four (next to jug of pumpkin spice flavored coffee mate): the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is it’s own pure simulacrum

Shoutout to @jamesrball.com whose excellent Prospect essay on the Dead Internet Theory I referenced:

Is anyone out there?
Dead Internet Theory says that you’re the only human left online. It started out as a conspiratorial joke, but it is edging ever closer to reality

this is why the @globalvoices.org "AI" policy includes the issue of homogenization:

globalvoices.org/about/global...
screenshot from the GV AI policy: 'abundant data available online. This, in the long term, has the effect of pushing the internet towards homogeneity, and minimizing and erasing outliers, including the less-heard voices that we as an organization are committed to amplifying. We strive to publish ideas and knowledge even — indeed, especially — if they don’t quite fit with the standard language or the standard ways of thinking. That’s far more important for us than something that “sounds” right but doesn’t express a viewpoint built from the experiences and insights of an individual human.'
