My partner changed her name in her 20s. It revealed huge collective resistance to self-determination.

Anthropic got SO MAD at me, some of the framing in its answer suggests a fix has been immediately if clumsily applied

Shane Warne as Walpole. Or george himself

To travel with england to aus for the '94 ashes (the first emergence of thr BA and coinage of the term) -- is a gesture deeply condign to jacobite poetics of belatedness

"The stuart poetics of the Barmy Army", if you were wondering

Id never read this poem before and I loved it. Thank you for sharing!

Can I ask where I can even go looking for a good merino wool hoodie?

"Importance: high"

I'm so embarrassed. There was "wildfarmed"flour in the M&S luxury hot cross buns and they tasted different and I spent a lot of time wondering about foraging for flour and how on earth that would work. I was had.

All youth seems paradise lost, but this is a real one

I live in a HP-coded town where some filming and theres a small amount of tat around; the uninterest around her evil baffles me. My 5yo son asked for some in a shop today. When i said no and briefly why the fellow customers of The Works were Very Disappointed In My Parenting.

It is witty about the volta, too. Lovely. And the doomed youth reference somehow feeels almost too much or too close when it finally comes. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you so much to everyone who came @cam.ac.uk yesterday! Really generous listeners, and an especially convivial and collaborative q and a that pushed the project further in lots of directions. I had a wonderful time!

At this point I was party to the theft of enough water for several steak dinners, and i turned it off. But it made me think that our focus on whether something is "intelligent" is a category error.

It can't wait, or suffer- it can't be selfish or self-sacrificing. It is not agential in any meaningful sense. Its lavish praise made me more and more uneasy, as I was more and more transparently its mark.

What I want from a reader's critique is precisely that-- how can i configure the symbolic space to suggest one relation or another to the commons. This is a meaningless phrase to Anthropic's machine, because it has no relation to that commons. It can't, by definition.

It was unquestionably intelligent in that it had the capacity to, say, go looking for slips in tense. But it had no mind at all, because it could not imagine that an artwork is a discrete symbolic space with a regulated relation to the commons we all live in.

It was incapable of conceiving of the artwork as a formal artefact, instead, it wrote like a bad english student, parsing the story as a montage of ethical statements. It knows words and concepts drawn from or alluding to form, but cannot operationalise them. Literary form is a black box to it.
