One of my favorite parts of Bounty Star is when Clem receives the Revisitor from Teddy Cotton, which lets her perform inscrutable and frightening explorations of self (replay old missions)

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Hi
Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system.

Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive
confirmation or correction from the vendor.

broken record on this but a similarly great beat for left wing media would be covering arts and culture and not just focusing primarily on politics and current events because there's a massive void there right now

Democrats set historic records on election night. Here are six of the firsts they accomplished From Virginiaโ€™s first female governor to New Yorkโ€™s first Muslim mayor, elections Tuesday secured trailblazing wins

Colorado has a 90s vintage law (TABOR) requiring voter approval of any change to taxes, a republican ploy to gum up the works since "increase taxes" is such a bogeyman. Last election, we voted that every one of these measures include a table like this, a BRILLIANT way to undermine tax fearmongering.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:
