There is a massive exodus happening in the AI world; the 'Save Our Signs' campaign, and why AI won't save the media industry.

We start this week with a series of articles from Emanuel about a crackdown in the AI industry. After the break, Sam tells us about the ‘Save Our Signs’ campaign which hopes to preserve the history of national parks. In the subscribers-only section, Jason rants about how AI will not save the media industry.
