Makes me recall a clip I saw of Joe Rogan enthusiastically forcing an musician to listen to genAI music he'd prompted as he heaped praise on the model that had generated it.
The musician responded, "What about AI podcasts? They have those, now."
No prizes for guessing how Joe reacted.

This kind of cravenness only encourages Trump to go further and faster, confirming (accurately) in his mind his methods.

Govt minister Darren Jones is asked what element of international law gives the US the right to abduct the leader of another country.
Jones says he's not qualified to answer that question and he's not a spokesperson for the US administration.
