John Oliver did a deep dive into her recently. It's not good. She brands herself as a moderate but is essentially in lockstep with most MAGA views. The owners of CBS are gutting everything that's left of the storied CBS brand to enrich themselves.

I'm only seeing information about ChatGPT, Sora, Claude and Gemini... Where is the news about AI?

The ultimate brainrot comes being rich enough to insulate yourself from ever being intellectually challenged. It's like the sycophantic chatgpt mode that just yes-ands every idea.

Good read that got me thinking. Donation supported journalism works well for NPR.

I can imagine an ecosystem in which enough people give their $50/month streaming subscriptions directly to artists and journalists.
