The white male NYT editor upset he didn't get a promotion is also a delusional AI user selling his AI "art"

LBN story on Trump's EEOC suing the NYT because this jerk didn't get promoted and thinks he was discriminated against for being white and male:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143660958


I just saw this on Bluesky, from journalist Gillian Brockell:

Bryant Rousseau, named in this story as the NYT editor whose work history matches the anonymous coward in the complaint, is selling AI-generated art and music on his website.

The copyright watermarks on work he didn’t do — with fake NYT quotes! — is just chef’s kiss narcissistic entitlement.

it goes on and on, y’all. you are not prepared for the levels of cringe on affordablemodernart.com.

And if you click on the bplane post that Brockell quote-posted above you'll find more of that poor discriminated-against white male's AI slop in the replies:

There's a lot to unpack in there.

I browsed his site.

I don't understand how he got a job at the Times in the first place, let alone get a promotion.
