I’ve expanded the scope of my job. From sysadmin to Information Security Officer etc. etc.

So you’ve never heard of the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, known informally as the Hague Invasion Act enacted in 2002. Which protects American war criminals by invading the Hague if necessary.

Hardly. US has been meddling in our elections for a long time. The meddling just hasn’t been as direct or as kinetic as in your cases.

It is a question of authorship. What I don’t approve of is zero effort AI slop. But the use of CGI in movies is OK because it serves the vision of the director. The usage of samples in music is OK if the use is transformative. Autotuning is pushing it but can be OK if use is limited or transformative. Even AI tools can be OK if authorship remains human. But an end-to-end pipeline of endless soulless AI generated slop is not OK. So it is very a question of degrees. AI generated/authored works should be labelled as such. Also the label should contain the degree to which AI was used. Not simply an either/or tag.

So you’re happy that you are being sold a lie?

Almost everyone has a sauna or at least access to one at or near their home.

Finland for those wondering.
