Can AI be creative? Machine learning mechanisms are based on predictability and following instructions – anathema to making truly great art, which at its core is ‘an affirmation of human existence’, as Richard Beard argues in this passionate Essay
Sure, AI can ‘do’ writing. But memoir? Not so much | Aeon Essays

That open process extends beyond logos: Wikipedia is built through disagreement, documented decisions, and consensus reached in public. Every edit is traceable, and every debate is preserved. (3/5)

Annual reminder that instead of Harry Potter, read Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea instead.
Better written, more insightful, more interesting world and characters, not ethically-poisonous, and it wasn't made by a malignant has-been TERF.

Proof that when we stand strong, we inspire others to stand strong. This week, Harvard proved we are leaders. Now Stanford needs to do the same.

I will never stop making games with psx-style visuals.
It will be 2047 and I'll be like "hey guys here's my new game inspired by Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. It has hand-painted textures, dithering, and wobbly polygons."
Then you'll be able to download a demo for it to your brain

Using the word "philistine" to mean "uncultured person" is pretty racist when you think about it. Philistine was a whole country with, I'm sure, a variety of people.
Imagine if in 1000 years "American" was a word meaning "idiot". Well ok...that would make sense. Bad example, but you get the idea.

We can all sit around and pretend that these goofy dumbasses - one of them formerly a respected and critical reporter at The Register - are making anything other than “just another LLM.” So much capital has burned in the name of this nonsense narrative, it’s time to stop. It’s embarrassing.
