The late great "Seething" Steven Wells wrote a review of a Rage Against The Machine gig in the 90s where he described how all the very expensive merch sold out within an hour and there was an entire crowd in £25 RATM t-shirts all singing along "fuck you I won't do what you tell me"...

If there is a God, can He send a flood again? I'd quite like a go at ark building.
Voters who Googled how to donate to Talarico got an AI answer that led them to give to a different senator. A network of fake news websites seeded messaging about state & local candidates that AI answers picked up on. My story on how the AI midterms are going: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
