Soy profesor de Seminario de Grado en la universidad. Lo que más me impresiona del uso de IA en tesis no es la deuda cognitiva ni los párrafos vacíos. Son lo anglicismos sintácticos que se cuelan. No es que la herramienta escriba mal. Lo preocupante es que ya casi nadie revisa lo que escribe.

billionaire ethos: for me and not for thee
BUT Andreessen (in convo with Douthat) speaks with reverence of the American land-grant university he attended as a rural Wisconsin farm boy- and how NSF dollars had made it great. How does he reconcile that w the current admin destroying THOSE institutions, too.

Qué inadecuada es la palabra ejecución para referirse a lo que hacemos los intérpretes.

Frente a la actitud de mafiosos cutres del dúo Trump-Vance, lo único que hay que hacer es enviarles a la mierda. Públicamente. Explícitamente. Y sobre todo ya. Sin esperar a la siguiente jugada de matones de escuela.

There's a new Taku Sugimoto album just out. This is him playing to his strengths I think: using space, timbre and resonance in way that holds form but doesn't overly pronounce and exaggerate the time between each gesture. takusugimoto.bandcamp.com/album/go-ove...
go over the fretboard, by Taku Sugimoto

¿Qué significa que sellos abocados a la difusión de música experimental empiecen a ser considerados como exponentes de música clásica? Esto confirma lo que hace rato es evidente: las preguntas ahora son certezas. Estamos frente a un estilo musical.
