‘Doom Loop’: OpenAI and Microsoft Admits LLMs Are Destroying the Web and Built on Theft
"Millions of people around the world will soon consider large models ‘hoovering up’ all their work to be an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions."
![BOB KETTLE: We need some answers from the mayor on public safety!
BOB: For starters, why did she fire the police chief?
[CAPTION: Because he was out of town 40% of the time]
BOB: And why did it take so long for the mayor to have a press conference after the Bite of Seattle shootings?
[CAPTION: because she had to wait for the chief and his 2 top deputies to fly back into town from a conference in Dallas]
BOB: Does the mayor even have a public safety plan?
[CAPTION: crime rates are down in all categories this year]
BOB: [pointing at caption] Can we please get rid of these text boxes? t’s very distracting[CAPTION: but you said you needed answers]
-In closing, um, crime is bad and I blame the mayor
[CAPTION: this press conference could’ve been a Nextdoor post]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:carj4mhaflwfubqzioy5wxl3/bafkreigdxkhrf3mhk3lkxinipmbbgwynfqiutbielptapyykwpx5qarcy4)

-In the mid-1980s it was Ned's Diner, the very first restaurant in the region to serve loaded potato skins
-a vital part of the foodways of Wallingfordian culture in the late 20th century

-honoring our forebears and their innovations in casual family dining

URBANIST 2: Oh god yes

![OLDER LADY: I'm furious about this new street revision! the city didn't do enough public outreach before starting construction!
YOUNGER LADY: [looking at phone] Hm. It says here they held a series of 8 listening sessions and 4 public site walks over the past 3 years
-They also sent 6 targeted mailers and hand-delivered surveys to every residence in the area. 67% of our neighbors support it
OL: That's not the kind of outreach I'm talking about!
YL: Oh. What kind did you mean?
OL: [fists balled] The kind that never ends!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:carj4mhaflwfubqzioy5wxl3/bafkreigxoza2br622ps4fx226i6mr3w7cncnp7zdrfcobpjlmnzalhn3ey)

![GUY: I'm a Seattle Gen Xer. We’ve always been about “fighting the power.”
-I got teargassed at the WTO protests! I jammed with Kurt and Krist! I'm as “down” as it gets!
-[picture of mom & dad and glass of whiskey on side table] But ever since i inherited my parents’ Ballard craftsman i’ve been seeing things differently
-[ghost dad standing behind him with hand on shoulder] It turns out I agree with Ol' Dad on a lot of stuff. But in my own contrarian, disaffected Gen X way, of course!
-[eyes going blank, ghost dad grasping both sides of his head with an eerie glow] CHANGE IS BAD! CRIME IS EVERYWHERE! BIKE LANES ARE COMMUNIST! FORCED LABOR CAMPS FOR THE HOMELESS!

-It's surreal to see people invoke “equity” to demand things remain as they've always been [couple with sign that says "CLOSING ROADS EXCLUDES PEOPLE NO INPUT NO EQUITY"]
-Passing cyclists heckled them: [cyclist looking over and smirking “Shoulda gave more money to Bruce Harrell!”]

-We make a lot of concessions to city living. The weight of it all can grind you down, trap you in embittered nostalgia [view of the lake from the road]
-You might even find yourself making common cause with the Wealthy Old White People Who Always Say No [older man and woman with a sign that says "WE NEED THIS ROAD OPEN"]
-Perhaps you could benefit from a lazy jaunt down a car-free boulevard on a nice summer day? [idyllic lakefront view with road curving to the right]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:carj4mhaflwfubqzioy5wxl3/bafkreicws465jaetq6fcv2tljdxjb6da2zjhjydrieqel5vg4xtwcejbpq)

![BUSINESSSMAN: Fellow business leaders, for the first time in 12 years we're locked out of the mayor's office. However.
-We sent a deep cover operative into the Transit Riders Union to expose our new mayor’s hidden agenda. Meet Kyle.
KYLE: For 6 months I lived on a barista's wages in a market-rate apartment. I traveled only by bike or bus.
-In that time the most important thing I learned was this:
-You people made the city into a meatgrinder for the working class and you must be stopped
[businesspeople aghast]
[two men grab Kyle by the arms as he struggles]
-Oh my god they flipped Kyle!
-Get him out of here!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:carj4mhaflwfubqzioy5wxl3/bafkreibpcytzm7jwvyaeson5ywvej7dgxxnt3brviwvzqmlrpat2jrj4bi)
