A racist TV show made with the assistance of Sora has attracted millions of viewers. Tyler Austin Harper argues that it could be “the harbinger of a new entertainment landscape where extremist AI shows will jockey for our attention with more anodyne ones”:

this phishing attempt wins for the most wrong. the device itself is two-factor, and it also is literally a FIDO device

my sister is studying for an AI privacy certification exam and I told her outright that there's nothing I can do except harm that effort with accuracy
proud though because she figured out on her own just through the absence of specificity that AI is a vibe label, not a concrete characteristic

means-testing denied me any financial aid whatsoever for college.
I paid most of the way myself after my dad reneged on paying my sophomore year - sending me running to the bursar to fail simply because I could not satisfy the means test because it relied on my dad providing his tax returns

Periodically I see people justifying means-testing to ensure The Rich don't get stuff for free when they can afford it.
I see the logic, but we can just tax them more.
Plus, the BIGGEST thing not means-testing solves is
