This shit is bad enough, made worse by all the images coming out that claim to be actual archeological sites or finds that are "AI" generated.

I think a lot about how Harlan Ellison said in an interview that Agatha Christie’s work would be forgotten five minutes after her death, and (by implication) his work would live on, and nearly the opposite has occurred. I’m not even sneering at Ellison. Just how we don’t understand posterity.

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it.
They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

This is the correct interpretation on David Zaslav. Saying he's bad at his job is comical. He just isn't good at his job in a way that anybody with a soul (artistic or otherwise) would recognize, nor is he charismatically evil. He's making himself and people like himself rich.
he was good at his job, his job was explicitly to destroy things so they'd be acquired and shareholders would make a bunch of money
this isn't an incompetent getting a payday, it's the guy who planned the heist getting the biggest cut
