Anyone who claims that Silicon Valley would be better with more humanities education has to grapple with the fact that Peter Thiel was a philosophy major.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Was discussing the costumes with my partner and we concluded their genius is how they draw attention to ICE’s costumery. The masks, the vests, the guns: it’s costume too, but a macho utilitarian aesthetic that denies its own pageantry. Facing an inflatable frog, though, it’s impossible not to see it

This. I always think i know what I’m going to write before i start, and it is always changed enormously—deepened, complicated, clarified, if not wholly transformed—in the writing.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 3d

I think the killer argument against relying upon AI to write is the massive amount of thinking and concept-welding that goes on for me (and I assume most everyone else) during the *process* of writing something - it’s a cognitive process and I know I’d actively get stupider if I skipped it

Decorative Gourdian Knot @buckrawheat.bsky.social · 3d

I also just wonder if any of these people have ever really appreciated the value added in going through the experience of something like this. The fact that it changes you to engage with and puzzle over your own work, that you're not a content printer that just needs juicing to go faster.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

It’s fascinating how the rapid proliferation of payment platforms has made making payments more and more difficult. A dozen options everywhere, most of which work, most of the time

I cannot believe these lyrics from the new Taylor Swift album are real

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes"

"You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick's bigger"

"Everybody's so punk on the internet"

"So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire"

"Got me drеaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop - Boss up, settle down, got a wish list"

"Please, God, bring me a best friend who I think is hot"

"He dick-matized me and opened my еyes - Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see - His love was thе key that opened my thighs"

"Good thing I like my friends cancelled - I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal"

"Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?"

"Who's the baddest in the land? What's the plan? - You could be my forever night stand"

"They ripped me off like false lashes - And then threw me away"

"Her name was Kitty - Made her money being pretty and witty - They gave her the keys to this city - Then they said she didn't do it legitly"

Ive said it before and ill say it again: whoever figures out how to make money from dirtcheap data centers after the AI bust will make more money than god

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 6d

OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune

Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”
