I'm fine with machine learning, neutral networks, and even specialize tools for industries to use "AI".

I'm just not fine with it replacing human culture (art, music, memes ect), and misinforming people on basic topics.

Go back further and you hit some really great trash TV no one is talking about, like Babylon 5, and Renegade. Even just the opening credits to Renegade are classic:

He was a cop, and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops - gone bad. Cops who tried to kill him but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a renegade!

They don't, they don't have agency or intelligence.

They use more expert language when the user includes more expert terminology - because that's the nature of how they use context to generate answers.

You use more expert terms, so they draw on training data from more expert source - sources that contain more of that same language.

There is no thought or agency about it. They're not "rewarding" anyone. They're mindlessly reacting based on probability.

Direct stimulus - as in stimulus checks - have been given out by both the left and the right side of politics at various times. Because it boosts consumer spending during economic downturns. Yet you still get these media mouthpieces for the wealthy donor class and corporate welfare jockies who don't understand that higher wages and the right types of social spending can also boost the economy (earnings their corporations more sales via more spending going on).

This is because they don't want wages going up, and they want to distract from their own welfare. Governments often go along with their ideas and cut spending - this action doesn't serve society or the public (quite the opposite), it serves international ratings agencies and international lending organizations.

Many governments in the world prioritize their countries credit rating over the good of the people because quite often when governments aren't popular enough to get spending bills through senates and parliaments, they can still get just go and borrow money from international lenders and ratings ageny.

It's an extra governmental way to do spending, and it puts governments in lock step with their corporate philosophies of useless outlets like the financial times/review/advocate/ ect..

The world is infested with cowardly bootlickers.

Browsers and apps are also more likely to be able to zoom in with a PNG than a GIF.

Short answer: As of 2026, Mel Brooks has not made any public statement about Israel, the Israel-Hamas war, or the hostages taken on October 7, 2023, and his name is absent from the 700-plus-signature pro-Israel open letter that circulated through Hollywood weeks after the attack. His connection to Israel runs entirely through a lifelong, proudly-stated Jewish identity and decades of Nazi-mocking, Jewish-inflected comedy, not through any political statement on the Jewish state itself. The honest read: a proud, outspoken Jew who has simply stayed out of the Israel conversation.

Fun conspiracy theory: the Data Centers all have survival bunkers under them for the social upheaval and climate change they're going to cause.

The company will shelter the smartest and best, and let the common folk die off or be killed by robots.
