@benjaminrussack @brecht_dp This. I’ve seen many people defending liking AI-slop becuase it is unusual enough to seem fresh: if asked why they like it, the response is anywhere between a shrug and an I-don’t-quite-know.

Christian Nègre, a former French Culture Ministry official is accused of drugging over 240 women with diuretics during fake job interviews, then forcing humiliating walks to observe their loss of bladder control, which he documented in an Excel spreadsheet detailing intimate details like underwear color.

“He stands accused of drugging a total of 248 women. The women recounted how he would spike their coffee and tea with powerful diuretics and then take them on long walks to watch them squirm. The apparent aim was to chart their descent into humiliation.”
