Yorke has also always been kind of a jerk and as people age, their little quirks and idiosyncrasies grow and mutate, influencing other things.

It was a calcium supplement before we learned about the lead issues. Also mad cow disease. Bone meal was added in 19th century (among many things) to bread, it makes the product whiter and improves texture (also, saved money to scummy bakers)

Newsrooms laying of staff means typically financial/organizational problems that hurt the media reputation. Claiming it's because of AI is a positive spin on that. Not saying that's what's happening but it's an obvious motivation to make that claim!

I think a good advice is for professionals to be extremely careful when talking about things out of their area of specialty. Thi stuff is more complicated than it seems! A good intro into how these measures are problematic can be found here www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo2g...

These people don't think of themselves as eugenicists despite doing "eugenics by proxy", targeting signifiers such as race, class, location. Their brains shield them from facing what they are by not allowing them to think about their actions one step further, realizing what monsters they are.
