One week the whole US news cycle was dominated by "Cheungus posted an AI pic of Trump on truth social".... I mean... I get that the presidency was at times considered dignified in the modern era so it's something of a "vibe shift", but the media has to have a better eye for bullshit than that. The indicators unfortunately are that it's going to continue this slide as well because news rooms are conglomerating, slashing resources, and getting left in the dust by slanted podcasts and YouTube videos.
Some of it is their own fault. People watching the local news full of social media AI slop are behaving somewhat understandably by turning off the TV and going straight to the trough instead of watching live as the news becomes even more of a shitty reaction video.
Consultancy is where the dollars are at. You get big money to tell people to implement things that won't work, and then your contract is up and you're out of there before shit hits the fan.
I know what it meant, but it's been slopped up worse than "fake news". The right wingers wrapped it up with cancel culture and made it into a fake ass ideology called wokeism.
Now they're doing all of the shit they claimed wokeism was doing and then some. I give them the label woke right because their charictature of "woke" now describes them accurately, and they also hate the label.
I think I'll let them have the word woke because it was practically meaningless anyway. They're the "woke right" with their policing of speech, their attempts to rewrite history, etc, etc etc.
Edit: they do everything they accused the "woke left" of but for real... I saw they were even getting concerts cancelled because the performer wasn't supportive of the Israeli genocide
Oh yes, I remember the great mandate dear leader won on the back of the outcry by the electorate to rename gulfs both here at home and around the world. 🙄
I don't remember all of the differences, but I think you're conflating copyright, patent, and trademark here. Software patents should almost not be a thing, but copyright and trademark should still exist.
I work with people that are like this. They're fucking useless and they spend all of their time making busywork for others and trying to fail upwards.
