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:

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.

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.

1. This stuff is horrible

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.

2. His imagining his "art" is worth buying, especially the AI slop, just reeks of white male privilege.

I liked this exchange in the replies in Gillian Brockell's thread:

wait wait wait this is so embarrasing

so embarrassing i almost hesitated to post this, but then i remembered he filed a lawsuit for not getting a job because he’s a white man and i clicked so hard i nearly cracked my screen

4. Ummm, Nepo-baby? Someone's BFF from High School who couldn't finish College?

A smooth talker who faked a degree in Journalism from a minor University or College in South Dakota or Nebraska and a stint as editor a paper like The Spokane Spokesman-Review - priors that few people would take the time to check?
After all, he'd have to have been an "editor" somewhere else to get even a minor editor's job at NYT.

5. I thought it was going to be Bret Stephens.

He's insufferable.
