Episode #369 – New York’s A Sewer – Randumb Thoughts Podcast

from Randumb Thoughts

Grok says: “New York just passed one of the dumbest AI laws yet — a ‘Synthetic Performer Disclosure Law’ that forces advertisers to label AI-generated people in ads… but only if they’re random nobodies. Famous faces like Taylor Swift or Tom Selleck? Apparently fine to deepfake. On this episode of Randumb Thoughts, Darren O’Neill tears into the law’s ridiculous double standards, its impossible global enforcement on the borderless internet, and why the whole thing reeks of clueless politicians who don’t understand technology or basic reality. He also hits China’s hypocritical warnings about U.S. AI backdoors, Sam Altman floating the idea of handing the government equity in OpenAI, the $1.4 trillion Meta ‘your app is too addictive’ lawsuit, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s latest claim that more free housing and groceries will magically end shootings. Expect the usual unfiltered rants on personal responsibility, government overreach, and why ‘won’t you think of the children?’ is the laziest excuse in politics. Raw takes, zero filter, and a value-for-value closer you won’t want to miss.” Thanks for listening! EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:Mark KodraEricPP – Thanks for streaming!THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE SHOW!
