Always after the nuggets of good news out there
It occurs to me that Muppets are the anti-AI.
AI personas look real, but have no soul. And, despite being made of complex technology, they generate uncanny valley reactions, when they’re visual and not just chatbots.
Whereas Muppets look fake, but they have all the soul. They’re made of simple materials, animated just by human hands, and are immediately attractive. They’re people you want to know, despite never forgetting they’re artifice.
Henson & Co ftw. ❤️

Take a long look at this post from Trump's Department of Education.
We need a word for "AI-assisted incompetence."
The origin of "splore" as best I can tell:
2004 YOUR HEAD A SPLODE (Strong Bad Email 94 )
2007 "Mr. Splode & the Fireworks Factory" (Ludum Dare #10)
2014 #pico8: If Explode -> Splode, then Explore -> Splore
