Funny thing is I'd still love to have such a setup.

"'For grifters, Glenn’s a scholar, and for scholars, he’s a grifter,' he said. 'But, really, he’s an impresario.'"

"ChatGPT feels nothing and desires nothing, and this lack of intention is why ChatGPT is not actually using language."

A #NewYorker essay by Ted Chiang on the limitations of #ArtificialIntelligence: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/why-ai-isnt-going-to-make-art

Ted Chiang on LLMs and on creativity as a long series of intentional choices:

"Generative A.I. appeals to people who think they can express themselves in a medium without actually working in that medium. But the creators of traditional novels, paintings, and films are drawn to those art forms because they see the unique expressive potential that each medium affords. It is their eagerness to take full advantage of those potentialities that makes their work satisfying, whether as entertainment or as art."

"New Yorker #art editor Françoise Mouly was wrestling with #Trump fatigue.

“We are circumspect about publishing any more Trump covers — no one wants to see or hear about him anymore,”...

Yet knowing that a historic #verdict was imminent, Mouly and #NewYorker editor David Remnick began sifting through sketched ideas, most of them premised on a #guilty verdict."

Just heard this #Newyorker Radio Hour episode interviewing #AdamGopnik who shares a deep dive into the rise of Hitler and parallels with the US politics today. Good to hear some informed analysis and plain talk on that topic.

Should #classicalEducation appeal to politically #conservative people who are paranoid about #wokeism?

Does “#Western” thought heroize only White, male #Christians?

This longish piece in the #NewYorker sketches the history of #classical #ducation, its #progressive proponents (like #JohnDewey), its recent proponents on the right (like #RonDesantis), and more.

Perfect album for our election year. Check it out!

“New Green Day album “#Saviors” is spry and lean, dark and cheeky, an indictment of adult hypocrisy, a validation of adolescent neuroses, and so relentlessly kinetic it’s nearly impossible for a hot-blooded person to sit still while it plays.

The album, which was produced by the hitmaker Rob Cavallo, feels like a distillation of #GreenDay’s decades-long mission to point out that modern life is mostly bullshit, so why not pogo your way to the grave?”
