Itō Jakuchū's 'Frog' of 1790 for me is the iconic image of numbed uncomfortable bafflement at the predicament of existence in the coming modern world, much as Munch's 'Scream' expressed it through horror.

Claude making a scientific discovery

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

In both film and video games, you see a ton of *project cancellations* and a general difficulty in funding new projects, which wouldn't be the case if AI was displacing workers in producing those products—you'd expect the opposite, in fact, if it was becoming cheaper to make a movie/game.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

Love that people will say Control Resonant is "open world" and, lol, lmao, no. Just because you can see the NYC skybox and you are "outside" does not mean "open world." Control Resonant is a Metroidvania.

Sometimes, your news feed serves up a perfect pairing.

Two news articles.
The first one is illustrated with a photo of Jensen Huang. It is from the Verge. The headline reads:

"Jensen Huang talks about AI and climate change like a supervillain."

The second article has an illustration of two people walking past each other. One is glancing back. There's a tall clock between them. This one is from the New Yorker. The headline reads:

"Why People Aren't Having Kids."

I never finished BG3 because of an act 3 bug, so I am replaying it. And I never really looked at other people’s play through branches so I've been often surprised at how much you can affect a playthrough. So anyway Gale is cursed by an angry fairy with clown face in this run and I am never curing it

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Watching the first ep of Neagley and it's like the writers REALLY want us to know they know Chicago. El Tracks: shown in 1st min but they ignored the third rail ⚡️🤷 Superbowl Shuffle: shown w/ two old detectives watching it and like, we don't really do that? "Skyway Bridge": bro it's just The Skyway

An Apple Maps search for "skyway" showing Chicago Skyway. It's a toll plaza for a highway on a super elevated stretch of road. The icon is a bridge, and it technically is a bridge, but it's more just an elevated highway because it goes over houses on both sides, not just a river.
