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.”
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.
