Paramount has come out swinging against a Friday screed from Mark Ruffalo, in which the award-winning actor accused moguls David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”
A spokesperson for the David Ellison-run enterprise said the company is “troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute. Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe. This doesn’t deserve a response in kind — and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.”
Is this written by an LLM? Because whenever I hear “it’s not just this, it’s that” now, I think LLM.
Nothing says, “I don’t give a shit about you,” like asking an LLM to respond for you. It’s all just so over the giving top, it beggars belief.
I was talking to this woman I was interested in. I related to her a mini existential crisis I was having because of climate change. She used AI to summarize why I shouldn’t be so worried, and sent it to me. I just stared blankly at the obviously AI driven text for minutes before asking, “Did you… Did you come up with all that off the top of your head?”
mind boggling.
Complete with emdash
This is 100% percent written by an LLM.
I just don’t believe any human would put out a statement with an email dash in 2026. It’s the thing
I use 'em.
My hyperbolic analogy is a swastika. Sure, the swastika had been in use for 10,000 years before Germany existed…but a company probably isn’t putting one on their letter head in 2026.
It’s as iconic for AI slop as It’s Not X, It’s Y
to an untrained eye who hasn’t read anything but internet posts, sure, but people use them in other places and that still carries on into internet prose sometimes.
You will have to pry the em—dash from my cold, dead fingers. AI may take my job, but I will damned if it takes the em—dash from me.
i started using them because of ai. lol
Fighting fire with fire — i like it!
Where do you think it learned it from lol
you’re absolutely right.
lol
