One of the suckiest parts of algorithms and fandoms is when you like a character but not the most popular ship with that character. Or you like a less common ship and end up seeing hate on it from time to time unprompted. Just kills the fun for a little while.

France has joined Germany in cancelling their Palantir contracts, becoming the 2nd country in as many weeks to do so — the UK appears poised to follow suit AOC: “Immediately investigate Palantir — (Thiel’s) secretive data mining company that has weaponized information against immigrant communities”

Three AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.

Many mermaid accounts may owe their existence to the elusive sea beaver (Castor littoralis). Sea beavers build artificial reefs to farm seaweed, but their driftwood supply is limited. This has led some to create lures to attract attention and provoke shipwrecks, bringing in new building materials.

A photograph of waves hitting the rocky coast. Between the rocks stands a structure made of driftwood and ship parts, crowned by a wooden sculpture that resembles a mermaid. Propped up by her arms, she looks towards the ocean with a head made of twisting branches and seaweed. Two beavers roam the pile, keeping it afloat among the crashing waves.

Importantly, for the executives who cook their brains with genAI, there are zero repercussions to it. The "work" it does for them is meaningless, the "productivity" they perceive is completely meaningless, absolutely none of it fucking matters. The students' experience with it is very different.

A lot of the students in that room undoubtably used an LLM at least a few times to help with their coursework in some way. The key to understanding this insane moment remains: lots of people like using AI, and absolutely nobody likes having AI used on them.
