Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.
This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.
Counterpoint.
Instead, offer free media literacy and critical thinking training to every adult in the UK.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

A group of strangers who know what's wrong and how it should be fixed, but it's unsafe to fix it themselves and all the societal structures in place to handle it are failing them
Boromir from the movie The Fellow ship of the rings thinking out loud about the one ring, with the caption "Perhaps we could give the ring better training."

The dorks who insist AI is inevitable, especially in the games industry, deeply underestimate how much Iโll just shrug and play retro games for the rest of my life.
Like the PS1 & PS2 libraries alone are enough for multiple lifetimes.
Fuck you, make me.
I posted to this effect yesterday BUT ALSO: there will always be a nonzero number of indie game developers who will reject AI. We don't have to reward companies that sell out to the fascist slop machine.

He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
We got all the hits:
- purchased by private equity firm
- hid a bunch of layoffs
- invested a bunch of money in AI
- tried to make that money back by ruining the best product it now owned
If you think AI tools are plagiarism machines built by stealing other people's creative output, it get's really hard to go the "we just use it for X" route.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.
It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads.
They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.
โAI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to itโ wrong. I donโt have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
