If there’s one thing that the rise in AI slop has ‘given’ us, aside from the existential dread and CEOs pushing the brave new future no matter how many studios need to be shut down to make it happen, it’s the ability for any old Joe to come along and make a series of glossy…

Everyone wants your data, so that means everyone would like you to make an account with them. I don’t know about you, but more accounts simply means more passwords I’m bound to forget—at least there’s multi-factor authentication methods like SMS codes, right?
