“Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock” will feature narration from a “high-quality A.I. re-creation” of the legendary sports broadcaster's speaking voice.
Can the world just STOP with it’s bullshit already??? Stop with everyday needing to obsess over trump in the news. Stop with finding new, and bizzare uses for AI when it offers no benefit, stop with companies scheming together to collectively cause inflation, stop with corporations buying houses to artificially increase rent, stop with 48% of the nation actively supporting political facism.
JUST STOP WITH THE BULLSHIT!!! WHY ARE WE DOING ANY OF THIS???
When I saw this in my notifications, without context I thought you were replying to my comment about 18 foot tall ants in the Jurassic period building stonehedge.
I think you already know the reason is money. Exploiting others isn’t demonized, it’s celebrated as “innovative” and “clever” and “entrepreneurial spirit.” That is the system, held up, and propagandized by, the exploiters. We’re taught that violent protest is “uncivil” or “barbaric,” because it’s the only thing that truly threatens the system, which otherwise holds a monopoly on violence, to prop up that system.
I read a headline a few weeks ago that he fell asleep in court, and farted. Literally all he did was take a mid day nap, and fart in his sleep. Just like any person of that age does on a daily basis. The only reason it’s news, is because people click the stories, and read the articles, and drive ad revenue for the media companies.
An old man sleeping and farting in court is now news…but anything is news if you MAKE it news.
All news is, is a business to sell ad dollars. Just like any entertainment show on traditional TV. The difference is, if you watch Seinfeld, the media doesn’t stalk Jerry in real life, and try to sell “news” stories that Jerry ate at a certain resteraunt, and ordered a certain sandwich. The tabloids and papparazi may do that, but you won’t find out that Jerry Seinfeld ate a ruben sandwich at Joe’s Deli on the 11pm news. Because it’s not news…but if you try to MAKE it news, you could try to sell some controversy that Joes Deli supports neonazis, and Jerry is supposed to be Jewish. Nevermind the fact that the media behind the scenes is basically creating a false narrative by tying Joes Deli to a wholesale meats distributor that also distributes meat to the Neo Nazis. But if they spin the other way, they can make news out of anything.
And just for the record, that was a hypothetical example. Completely fictional for the sake of explaining the concept.
Most of what Trump says/does is NOT news…but if you MAKE it news, now the news can make money off of it, and will continue to shovel this crap down your throat. The media did the same thing in the 90s with Clinton. Yes, he got a blowjob. No it wasn’t his wife. That should have been like a quick news story on a slow day. Instead that went on for like 4 years. Clinton should have just said “Yeah, I got laid! You wanna get laid too? Get on up here, Janet Reno! You like doggy style? Because I don’t want to see your face…”
I assume EVERY president, basically since Washington, has gotten laid in the oval/oral office. But it’s not news. Hell, Obama was a good looking man. I assume he basically used the white house as the new playboy mansion. What woman would have turned that down? And if they DID turn him down, that’s fine. There’s a line, honey. NEXT! Unlike Trump, who I ALSO assume got laid in the white house many times…usually with the exchange of money.
When did The Onion go from being an absurdist insider joke about ACTUAL fake news, to making news gags that would be considered on the sensible side of lifes absurditys?
He’s not “any person”. He is the former President, who is up for re-election. People of his age do not routinely fall asleep in court while being tried of a federal crime. His sleeping is clearly indicative of the fact that he is not concerned in the least about actually spending time in prison.
It’s the new toy everyone is playing with.
That’s the only way I can rationalize it. It’s not money, cuz everything being done with in a product blows.
I agreed until you ranted on capitalism. That’s such a a tired old thing on Lemmy it just looks like you’re using catch phrases and eyes roll. It’s money, not capitalism. Every type of society that uses money will lead to wanting more money.
You’re more than welcome to give an example of a successful economy that ran on money where people didn’t hoard it. I’m all ears.

That might be the most appropriate username possible for this rant.

Aha. Found it. This is amazing. You fucking animal. https://lemmy.world/comment/10848070
Well that also would be appropriate.

So people share and promote their coverage, so NBC can sell ad spots.
If you’re commenting on the story, you’re boosting the story, and that’s exactly what NBC wants.
Username checks out
We will as soon as he stops making news.

It’s about money, because the people making the shit products want to make money, not good products.
Capitalism always leads to “how shitty of a product will people still buy”
