A text quote from Sartre's Portrait of the Anti-Semite: “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Screenshot of an Ars Technica news headline and article: "OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use National security hinges on unfettered access to AI training data, OpenAI says. OpenAI is hoping that Donald Trump's AI Action Plan, due out this July, will settle copyright debates by declaring AI training fair use—paving the way for AI companies' unfettered access to training data that OpenAI claims is critical to defeat China in the AI race."

Worn text on creased, colorful, but faded paper: "Clouds of plastic paper in a faded rainbow of colors litter local space out here. Flyers, posters, books, pamphlets, and more, all printed in black ink that smells of a burning forest." "The pages are filled with everything from amateurish prose and Dada-tinged nonsense to eloquent poetics and studied design. The only recurring elements are newspapers intimately describing the misery of working for the weapons manufacturer Taiyang-Macht and alluding to sabotage and assassinations by the company, with all claims made by one "Inside Source." "Whether tracing these prints, hunting a corporate blackmailer, or responding to a strange distress call, your crew's arrival signals the beginning of the end for the ancient printer colony of Burgom's Haven."
