And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

The ‘supervisor’s idea that writing philosophy papers is about efficiently “performing a task” and that “human philosophy professors will have to find new tasks to perform” is the saddest shit I’ve ever heard a philosopher say. Why did he even bother with philosophy? Just be an accountant it’s fine

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Truly a golden age. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-a...
Here is how it works: An AI system analyzes how an executive writes, speaks and thinks, by studying everything from work emails the person has written to his or her speeches and interviews. Then, the AI double takes on various jobs for the executive—like answering questions from subordinates—that use the human’s knowledge and communication style. Sometimes, with a video-based version, these AI twins even speak at conferences or make presentations.
Reid Hoffman, a LinkedIn co-founder and partner at venture firm Greylock Partners, mostly uses his digital twin, Reid AI, for public appearances and media interviews. The system—trained on 22 years of Hoffman’s books, speeches, podcasts and articles—has delivered more than 75 addresses and presentations since its 2024 launch. (A human helped prepare them, though.)
