I saw someone say they needed AI to write their passive aggressive reply mails. And man, couldn't be me.

"Money, again, has often been a cause of the delusion of multitudes. (...) To trace the history of the most prominent of these delusions is the object of the present pages. Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds (...)" -- Charles Mackay (1841)

Per Adolfsen is one of my favorite contemporary artists so i'm happy to read that his views on art very closely resemble mine

Same. Philosophy shouldn’t have to justify itself instrumentally by supplying skills to other “practical” fields. The value of philosophy lies in how it expands your horizons, how it forces you to think differently and deeply about the world.

Moral panics are manufactured concerns created to push an agenda, don't hold up under scrutiny, and the fallout always harms more people than will ever be helped. Stand up for trans people.

it is nearly impossible for new artists, animators, or programmers to share their work without a swath of people accusing it of being AI. the only way to avoid that is to have proof that your project existed before gen AI. i think this ignorance ultimately helps normalize AI more than anything.

I've heard other people who made new profiles have similar issues. Whatever automated systems they have for spammers and bots just don't work properly anymore. Having to verify your linkedin profile with an actual ID is wild and feels borderline illegal

Weinig mensen beseffen hoe extreem deze uitspraak van Francken is: Vrijheid van vereniging en meningsuiting kwam in de Belgische grondwet terecht precies om dit soort partijpolitiek autoritarisme te voorkomen. (Niet persé voor organisaties in het algemeen, maar zéker voor politieke partijen.)

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

it was so crucial for the web that people could look at and learn the html and eventually css behind the sites they visited, and so crucial that all you needed was notepad. losing that while also losing the basic knowledge of how computers and filesystems work has been a total disaster for all of it

Also throwing rector De Sutter under bus even though she didn't interfere when he was hired is so typical. Goes to show that when you defend these types because of 'scientific neutrality' you will reap what you sow.

We're doing a huge disservice to kids (and young adults) by shielding them from everything that might be 'too hard' or 'too difficult'. They can figure that out for themselves, challenge is good!

what is art if not derpy cat faces

Detail of a 17th century painting called Still life of fish by Joannes Fijt. There's a grey and white cat behind a wooden tub, surrounded by fish and crab. The cat's face is wonderfully derpy. Picture taken at Snijder & Rockox House, Antwerp.

So in Hans Achterhuis' book on Hannah Arendt, he brings up various journalists and authors who covered the Nuremberg trials (to compare it with Arendt's coverage of the Eichmann trial) and wow, everything they say about those men could be said about the people in charge today
