The BBC just keeps stumbling from one poor management disaster to another. I've always been a big supporter (and legally I have to be) but it's really a hollowed out shell of its once great self. The Telegraph's report echos what a lot of British people have been feeling about coverage for a long time, that there's incredible bias (especially at editor level) and lack of overall leadership. And that's before the endless coverups going back well into the 70s - only the Catholic Church has a bigger record for enabling child sex abuse.
Big orders for single people, especially for stuff like curry, pizza and chinese, could just mean they're buying several meals at once and are going to freeze it for later on. Think of it as meal prepping without having to cook.
Everything is political, and South Park has been one of the most political popular shows. I guess he means it didn’t explicitly feature politicians as much.
You think genocide has only existed for two years?
The realisation as you go through life that things just aren't as good as they should be is hard. The more you learn, the more you are exposed. What is new, perhaps, is that the scale of bullshit is bigger and the spread of it more actively pushed than before.
How to cope? Damned if I know. I just try to shut it out as much as possible.
(BTW, your colleague may just be exhausted with change, or demoralised or depressed themselves. It's hard not to judge people when you see the answer so clearly, but it's a trueism that everyone walks their own path and you just don't know what's going on in their life)
As a 54 year old who has just had two weeks of agony because he forgot his age and tried to deadlift a 225kg motorbike by himself, I'm going to skip this one because I clearly haven't learned anything.
The truth is, we don't need AI to have misinformation, and AI is not the biggest problem in the current post-truth society. There has been a war going on globally in undermining truth for a long time. The old saying, "The first casualty in war is truth" is invalid now, because truth is no longer relevant and lies are weaponised like never before in history. People don't want to be certain of something, their first reaction to news is to react at a deep and emotional level and the science of misinformation is highly refined and successful in making most people react in a certain way. It takes effort and training not to do that, and most of us can't.
Journalists have been warning us about this for decades but integrity costs money, and that funding has been under attack too. It's pretty depressing whichever way you look at it.
Piss off with your fake Russian propoganda.
