I've been reading this "Iain M. Banks" guy for a while and I have come to the conclusion he's really very good at coming up with ideas and then writing down descriptions of them
@mcc fun books! Shame about the fans in the tech exec class.
AI can't fix climate change because the problem is politicians in the pocket of fossil-fuel interests, not a lack of information or understanding.
@petergleick Then let's ask it to fix that problem instead :)

Feel this is less common than earthquakes so merits undue excitement

A long time ago Microsoft Design published a website about their design language, Fluent. On the landing page was a 3d rendering of devices with Fluent-style interfaces on them.
On multiple of these rendered devices the UI was cropped off or was rendered upside down. On a landing page of their 'premier' DESIGN language marketing site to show off how great their DESIGN system was.
It stayed that way until the Fluent2 website launched.
They institutionally do not care.

@cwebber now I'm thinking maybe we should just start charging unknown contributors money to review their pull requests.
@cwebber thinking about this further, a very clear "under no circumstances are ai generated anything to be submitted to or accepted by the project for any reason at all" notice is probably still a good idea regardless of whether a project is getting sandbagged with bot spam as it at least reassures honest people where the maintainers stand on these things
