It’s becoming way more difficult to introduce nuanced news to a mass audience.
People aren’t informed outside of their own bubble. I’m self aware enough to seek out all sides of the story. Even if it means I have to learn an opposing viewpoint.

In an age where most information is digital there are still a lot of industries that rely on paper and for sensitive information and sometimes that paper needs to be shredded. Legal documents, HIPAA standards in the US, and trade secrets are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I’m terrified to see an AI rendering of what The David, 2 Girls, 1 Cup would look like.
