Huge John Oliver fan, and this episode was pretty solid for the most part. He makes the connection between revenue redistribution and the explosion of AI slop and automation. But his conclusion: He throws his in the air and declares epistemic fatalism in the face of AI slop onslaught. WHAT?! Nooo

One of the things I want folks to understand about the billionaires who forced the Penn pres to resign is they started all this before Oct 7 and among their complaints is that Penn “prioritizes DEI” is “too social justice focused” and is “unrecognizable” to what it looked like when they attended.
