JFK is in the midst of a $19 billion construction project that is expected to create heavy traffic for people arriving at the airport by car. Port Authority leaders have said they’re considering waiving the AirTrain fee to get people to take public transit to the airport, but for now the $8.50 fee — on top of the $2.90 subway fare — remains in place.

So there’s a subway that goes to the airport, and they want people to use it, but because of some payment system compatibility fuckup they can’t pay? Or it’s harder to pay? It’s kind of unclear exactly what is happening here other than people getting public transportation for free, which sounds like a good thing.

The artist’s reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/aiwars/comments/1qcektc/my_art_in_a_gallery_show_was_destroyed_over_ai/, which includes real pictures alongside some photorealistic AI generated depictions of the art being chewed up. He disclosed in the post text which of the pictures those are and which are real, but of course some people in the comments didn’t read that and took discrepancies in the images to mean that the whole event was faked. Which is pretty brilliant if intentional, fits well with the “ChatGPT psychosis” topic of the original piece. Might have gotten slightly out of hand though since these images are now featured in screenshot of screenshot style posts that lack the context that it’s not a real picture.

I also like the memes people are making about it, overall a very entertaining event.

Even if they are trying to hack me it’s only polite. Plus on the very remote chance they somehow find this and care they would have slightly more info about me.

Tried setting this up, caught a few already
