- This! Also, a lot (most?) of these instances make some very specific assumptions about what art is and/or looks like -- which are blatantly absurd when you look at the history of art post ca. 1900.

- *tapping the sign* Germany’s “Bild” is as serious a newspaper as, say, the New York Post: not at all. It’s a trashy, far-right-adjacent tabloid. If you take any of their “stories” seriously without seeing it reported in an actual newspaper… 🤷🏻♂️

- Reposted by CPhMag.comOne more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

- NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

- Reposted by CPhMag.comAs these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused. So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.
- Kind of amazing: Japan’s thoroughly corrupt LDP which has run the country into severe trouble might be heading for a huge election win. Germany’s CDU (with an even worse track record) will surely feel emboldened by this.
