What are jobs where there is exactly one feature film that everyone tells you you absolutely must see when you start the job?
Like, I imagine if you get hired to work in Antarctica, they tell you you have to see John Carpenter’s The Thing.

An all-too-common mistake is inferring the sexuality of historical figures based on contemporary standards that didn’t apply back then. For example, in the 1970s it was normal for a cop, a biker, a Native American, a construction worker, and a cowboy to be friends. It didn’t mean they were gay.

If a month of watching classic movies has taught me one thing, it's that everyone in the past was British, everywhere in the world.

Yes, of course we don’t allocate jobs among humans based on relative need, god knows, but all humans do share a fundamental requirement of “needing to purchase food and shelter to stay alive,” whereas all LLMs/Gen AI tools as a category do not face this hard imperative.

The song implies a static end to the process of becoming but this no longer reflects the nature of our fractured reality. they will spend the rest of their lives perpetually engaged in the project of becoming the Brady bunch. Or that’s what deleuze says anyway
