In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

This condition could result in loss of continued safe flight and landing. FAA’s Determination The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has determined the unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Quick, send our spies to Columbus and Columbia to fabricate a casus belli. Then, raise the levies and maybe borrow some gold to hire a band of mercenaries. Their castles will be nearly undefended.

British Republicanism has never quite recovered from how dope HRH Charles III's official portrait is.
A formal painted portrait of an older man (His Royal Majesty King Charles III) in regal military attire, set against a vivid, textured pink and red background. The man has grey hair and a solemn expression, and he stands with both hands resting on a sword. His uniform is adorned with medals and intricate decorations. A small butterfly is visible to the left of his shoulder, adding a delicate, surreal touch to the composition. The overall style blends realism with expressive, layered brushstrokes.

Based on a representative sample of SNA airport users, general physical health and appearance is inversely correlated with one’s likelihood of wearing a $300+ per year Whoop band.

Looking into this.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.
