A 1918 full-page advertisement for radium-based toiletries and beauty products. At top right, a person is dreamily holding their hands to their heads, while something like spiky “rays” reach out into all directions from the image. Below the image and to the right of quite a bit of text copy are illustration of various products.

I find it interesting that ever more journalistic outlets publicly lament that “only x% of [audience] are already using generative AI!” in kind of a pearl-clutching, “how _dare_ all the others?!” way.
In the past week, the mental comparison with statements like “only x% of all people are already using radium toothpaste” being published in serious outlets fills me with ever more amusement.
