Infamous Dr Who "big name fan" Ian Levine is using generative AI to recreate lost episodes of the show. This got some mainstream press coverage and fans seem miffed.

We wanted to be able to hold a job without reciting DEI shibboleths or filling in multiple-choice exams about how white people cause earthquakes. Instead we got a thousand scientific studies cancelled because they used the string “trans-” in a sentence on transmembrane proteins.

If you were too racist to see the wood for the trees, that's your problem comrade! Well, actually it's everyone's problem now.

I think they're claiming that they are aware of the potential issues in how knowledge is produced (bias, unconscious or not)....but they think that they are uniquely humble and aware of all the issues, they certainly aren't influenced by ideology, and they aren't susceptible to the same logical fallacies as everyone else.

Okay, one more pic, the back cover. Can't say how reliable these sources are.

Some more low effort image posting. This zine was in Connolly Books for free. I'm not sure who the author is, but I thought the text was spot on and the illustrations were great. Sorry for no captions/transcriptions
