Well, the UX Design Team has to justify their existence somehow. And if there’s one thing they’re good at, it’s wowing management with snazzy presentations.

Making a snazzy presentation about the necessary overhaul of the data structure of the ingest system architecture is also just generally harder then just showing a flashy, colorful click dummy of the new homepage.

For example this: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/08/disney-reportedly-creates-task-force-to-explore-ai-and-cut-costs.html and this: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/sag-aftra-amptp-studios-contract-artifial-intelligence-details-1234877093/ The second article details how due the strike the actor can consent to digital copies of themselves or not and reimbursed for their use but those digital actors are still coming.

Well, technically stones are dead, so that cat is just lazy.

15 percent for banner ads is actually pretty good.

You’re not supposed to inject the silicone into the brain.

Or printed on every bible.

The first Mass Effect. That moment when Sovereign speaks… instant goosebumps. (“Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.”) This also presupposes that I haven’t played the other parts as well of course. I actually played the second one before the first one back in the day.

The software enshittification cycle continues.

The AI in black fled into the desert and the wordslinger followed.

I thought it was fake because of the typo, then I remembered that it’s Xitter and they probably don’t have someone proofreading stuff anymore.

I have already seen job postings of websites looking for “proofreaders”.

Something something die a hero something something become the villain.

People wanting a blue checkmark must own a Tesla.

I’m pretty sure most of those layoffs that are contributed to AI are just dumb CEOs that a) buy into the hype that AI makes human workers superflous (which is just completely wrong at this point) and b) just needed a reason to fire a few people to get a bonus.
