“We know but we can’t say. Sorry.” F**king politics!

So far.

In addition, AI is incapable of injecting nuance:

• double entendre

• puns

• satire

• saudade

It's the Hobby Lobbification of language — reducing it to bland, mad-libbian plug and play exchanges that rob language of its power.

Show me an #AI that will generate that.

Adventures in sign making.

The headline blames "arrogance and incompetence." Plenty of that to go around. But this college football golden goose was killed by America's favorite sport: GREED. #football #collegefootball #NCAA

Waiting for the AI to kick in on all of these services and tell the company:

"Hey, he just bought the damn thing. Chill out or recommend something else.” #AI

I imagine if you’ve never been held accountable or have avoided accountability throughout your life it probably does feel like persecution once someone finally calls you to account.

Them’s the breaks.

Whether it’s the same as Fourth Estate is the US or not, the erosion began with Murdoch in the UK before he made it here. So much of what we’re all living through can be traced back to Murdoch as ONE of the origin points.
