There is no need to follow me back. I am just a freshly minted PhD student, trying to find a philosophical topic to write my dissertation on (while harboring a passion for Japan). I follow you because I find what you do interesting. That’s all.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Yo llevo siempre encima un ejemplar de La divina comedia para leer perfomativamente en la cafetería.

Performatively reading in the cafe, but wearing white gloves so I'm still venerating the Book As Object, with a t-shirt saying "I know archivists don't wear gloves" so people know the gloves are performative.

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones? AI Could Make It Happen Soon

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Screenshot includes an AI generated image of what looks like a human cross between Daenaerys Targaryen and Marilyn Monroe on the back of a dragon.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Combining direct lighting - as Mark the Evangelist is demonstrating by using the illuminating dove - is great for targeted tasks and emphasizing details at your desk, while indirect lighting - see the open window - creates a warm and inviting environment. Bonus: your cat will like it. #catcontent
Mark the Evangelist working at a desk, and his lion is present. The lightning dove is flying above him. This image is also part of the 1530 bible print: https://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/0011/bsb00113027/images/index.html?fip=193.174.98.30&seite=89&pdfseitex=

don't worry, Sam Altman is confident that his efforts to eliminate vast numbers of jobs will all just sort of work out for the unemployed, eventually, possibly after they starve to death, which is technically a form of having it work out

Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With
Worried that AI will destroy work? Well, Sam Altman asks if you've considered what a farmer from half a century ago thinks of your job, first.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Excerpts from Petey Thiel's talks and writings just make clear what an absolute idiot he is. Silicon Valley and obscene wealth poison the soul and the mind.

Sometimes you just can't tell people things. You just have to sit back and let them find out for themselves. Usually those people are children.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

Mr.Beast is the closest thing to the real world version of an SCP article about something that looks almost human but isn't quite, and if you fail to observe the ritual(do not engage with Mr.Beast), you'll lose your clavicle or something.

Tampoco podemos olvidar que la libertad lectora es absoluta. Cada uno lee lo quiere, cuando quiere y como quiere

Que son muchos años de “estás leyendo mal” como para ponernos a levantar obligaciones 😏
