Warning: this video may be nightmare-inducing. Or you might just find it hilarious. We know artificial intelligence algorithms are pretty good for writing an essay, or at least ChatGPT is, Midjourney can construct an illustration for you, and some recent videos show that an algorithm can be rather good at dressing movie characters in Balenciaga fashions or mashing up Wes Anderson movies. But it doesn't do all that well recreating real living animals moving as animals should. I don't know what program was used to make this video of dogs, but the producer should ask for his money back.
From a different YouTuber, here's a cat video generated by an algorithm. It's just as disturbing.
I couldn't post these videos on Supa Fluffy, because people go there to watch real-life cute animals and feel good about it. But you were warned. -via Nag on the Lake

Of course a good PR person has always known how to manipulate the system. Send your release to the news desk so late that they don't have time to do any work on it, but not so late that it won't make it out. With printed news and old fashioned TV this was pretty easy to do. Which is why a story would change between the early and later editions or the 6pm and 10pm news.
When rolling news came along what should have happened is that the story would go out almost per press release the first time and then get worked on through the day. This does not seem to happen.
Their used to be a saying that a good news story almost writes itself. It would seem that modern "journalists" have misunderstood this maxim.
