There probably are, or will be more practical uses for AI. But generally speaking, everyone that actually creates stuff loathes the inherent lack of imagination required to use AI every day

I would LOVE to once again make videos about Democrats’ policies, or Republicans not being clowns.
The problem is that the party in charge of the 3 main branches of our government cannot stop doing awful, horrible, stupid (and sometimes unintentionally funny) things.

Photo of journalist Dave Jorgenson filming at a desk with DEPTH PERCEPTION branding and text: “We’re sort of this antidote to the Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate world. We’re kind of like this life raft of, ‘Here’s what’s going on over here in a more reasonable way, a rational way.’” — Dave Jorgenson, co-founder of Local News International

The Paul Dano/Quentin Tarantino thing is so funny because everyone is instantly on Paul Dano’s side. He doesn’t even have to respond.

Honestly, so proud of Alex and Ellen for pissing off the 20-something incel that runs the White House Instagram account simply by reporting facts.
