There was a white guy who found hanging a few days ago... Also in Mississippi but something like 100 miles away. I think it might have been before Kirk was shot...
Anyway, the conspiracy minded already lumped the two together without learning the details of either. As is now the custom.
Generative AI actually does have a few real uses. Most notable is in the generation of new protein sequences.
Not long ago, you had PhD's whose entire career was understanding a single protein sequence. Now we can generate thousands of properly folded proteins. Millions. Stuff nature never thought of.
Due to patent law, the biotech revolution is still a few years out, but it's coming.
You want an enzyme that breaks apart plastic? We can design one now and have yeast producing it within a day or two.
And there are millions more that we can now play with.
Anyway, there are a few more niche uses for generative AI. But then idiot CEOs decided to shove that shit into everything. To decidedly mixed success.
It starts with John Casablancas. He started Elite Model Management. He would throw lavish parties where rich old men were invited. His models were required to attend the parties.
There were lots of drugs and rape and such, with a few cases of potential murder.
I'm 1988, Casablancas gave an interview to New York Magazine. He gleefully admitted to seducing a 14 year old. And also talked up his wild drug fueled sex parties.
Trump was also mentioned in the same issue. Trump is a known narcissist who obsessed over any mention of his own name.
Shortly after that 1988 article, Trump became friends with Casablancas.
Trump then introduced Epstein to Casablancas, but Epstein isn't actually as important to the story until later.
Trump and Casablancas held their Look of the Year contest at Trump properties a few years in a row.
Contestants, some as young at 14, were paraded in front of rich pedos in private shows.
Look of the Year was the same contest that allowed Casablancas to rape that 14 year old from the 1988 article.
Anyway, after hosting the contest for a few years, Trump signed up Ivanka, then 13, to be a model under Casablancas's agency, under the direct tutelage of Casablancas
Shortly thereafter, Trump bought the Miss Universe pageant franchise, which included the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Pageant contestants were required to attend Trump parties.
In the late 90s, the BBC did an expose on Elite Model Management and the rampant pedophillia. This forced Casablancas out of the agency.
This is when Trump created Trump Model Management. Shortly after, Epstein founded MC2 modeling.
The two tended to use the fame talent scouts and fixers for forging visas, but we're otherwise competitors in the Human Trafficking game.
Lenin, betrayed the revolution after losing an election to actual communists and then wrote about how betraying the revolution and stamping out those pesky communists is fundamental to communism. Somehow.
Employees in Japan are not okay. They're often expected to put in extreme overtime, regardless of actual productivity.
You have workers who regularly sleep under their desks, because the work culture is so toxic that they're low-key punished for daring to have a social life outside of work.
And there's also a birth rate crisis that's partially caused by that same toxic work culture.
You'll sometimes hear buzz about fixing the birth rate crisis, but never anything about the toxic work culture.
I think that had a part in it, but the joke that likely pissed Trump off the most was the "4th stage of grief, construction" line.
Calling out that Trump doesn't give a shit about Kirk, because it completely undercuts their use of Kirk as a reason to purge the left.
