Absolute Focus: Depeche Mode’s Music For the Masses Revisited | The Quietus
Weirdly enough, it’s almost ignored. Which is a very strange thing to say about an album called, however much in jest, Music For The Masses. You’d think that Depeche Mode’s sixth studio album in seven...

There is some scummy-as-fuck AI “satire” commercial on Tubi playing constantly that is basically trashing that NAZA documentary and it’s so fucking sleezy. Of course there’s no credit because it’s some cowardly pro-Israel group, we discovered.

People were like no, using genAI doesn't deskill you. And then *all* the CEO's started announcing that not only is deskilling the explicit goal, but then they brag that they don't know how to toast a poptart

It's funny that for years now people have been saying that using generative AI very obviously deskills you, and people kept going no no you're wrong you Luddite And now all the genAI CEO's keep coming out in public to announce they forgot how to read and do math and can't remember their address etc

"How do you police an honor code?" You don't. You set a standard of behavior and stick to it, and when it becomes obvious a student or faculty member isn't following the code, you intervene.

The Why Cheap Art? Manifesto, Bread & Puppet Theater, 1984
the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto
PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that
ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEMS & the
RICH.   ART IS NOT BUSINESS !
It does not belong to banks & fancy investors
ART IS FOOD . You cant EAT it BUT it FEEDS
you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to
EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE
because it is INSIDE of the WORLD.
ART SOOTHES PAIN !
Art wakes up sleepers !
ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR & STUPDITY ! 
ART SINGS HALLELUJA!
ART IS FOR KITCHENS!
ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
Art is like green trees!
Art is like white clouds in blue sky!
ART IS CHEAP!
HURRAH!
Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont, 1984

Using generative AI means that you can't answer the most basic element of research, which is "where did you get this information?"

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

These fucking nerds won’t stop until they harass every filmmaker into just doing “their take on” some shitty fucking horror or superhero franchise. Go ditch a ditch, let art be personal, yearning, subjective, and free.
