Which is the article’s problem — it’s not particularly good journalism, I think.
And I do think it makes it significantly, materially better. One rids people of their livelihoods, the other gives a chance that some artist might accidentally get influenced by slop a bit.

Vincke said explicitly that they are currently hiring *more* concept artists, and all their concept art is original, imagined and drawn by hand by their concept artists.
I don’t know how true it is, but there’s no evidence to the contrary

And as one should expect, they’re already amassing a following among the most insufferable people imaginable on Twitter.

But honestly, the fact that people are legitimately trying to bring back racial pseudoscience is scary.

Trump's tariffs list is missing one big country: Russia The White House told Axios the reason is linked to existing sanctions.

Confirmed: Russia has been spared from Trump's reciprocal tariffs because current sanctions "preclude any meaningful trade," the White House says.

However, the US trades more with Russia than it does with some of the countries that have been targeted, like Mauritius or Brunei, @axios.com reports.

Alice Weidel: The far-right leader shaping Germany’s AfD As Germany heads to the polls, a look at the politician cultivating the anti-immigrant party’s ‘image of competence’.

State Dept. Plans $400 Million Purchase of Armored Tesla Cybertrucks The department plans to buy armored Tesla vehicles. Elon Musk, who is leading efforts to cut government spending, has won more than $13 billion in government contracts in the past five years.

This is so incredibly, goofily stupid—a slapstick level of dumbass, self-defeating, wasteful procurement even if it’s somehow not as corrupt as it looks—but I suspect absolutely no one is going to prevent it from happening. What an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Far-right populists much more likely than the left to spread fake news – study Amplifying misinformation is now part of radical right strategy, says Dutch study of tweets by MPs in 26 countries

"Far-right populists are significantly more likely to spread fake news on social media than politicians from mainstream or far-left parties, according to a study which argues that amplifying misinformation is now part and parcel of radical right strategy"

Verifiably: right wingers are liars

At this point…

I, for one, welcome our subterranean overlords.

I feel like there’s a certain political imbalance growing in everything AI-related, where specific political groups, mostly right-wing, disregard all its critiques & embrace it in every application, while their opponents don't — which further increases its influence & bias in rather unsettling ways

Elon Musk bei AfD-Wahlkampfauftakt in Halle (Saale) zugeschaltet »Seid stolz, Deutsche zu sein«: Von einer Videoleinwand sprach der Techmilliardär Elon Musk zu AfD-Anhängern. Der Trump-Berater verbreitete seine Erkenntnisse über die »deutsche Kultur«, in der Messeh...

Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight.

Could not make this up.

In my experience, theory (at least in social sciences) is often taught as something not just authoritative, but immovable, inaccessible for any sort of novelty, innovation, or reinterpretation

Safari honestly handles tabs very well lately, too. Arc is nice and yeah, super comfy, but at times feels a bit... bloated?
