“Oh, you need your precious Chatbot to help you be creative? These freaks made a giant, tactile troll by hand that has taken up residence as my new sleep paralysis demon, born of their own sick minds.” The best review I’ve ever received. 😭🤌🏼

I need this energy going forward because it’s so hard for me to stay positive about anything art related at my current age.🥲

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

Wolfgang Pauli's hilarious response to Werner Heisenberg's claims on a radio show that, except for the details, he was close to a theory of everything. Pauli sent this to George Gamow: 'This is to show the world, that I can paint like Titian. Only technical details are missing.' #Science #Physics

The answers it gives are based on real scholarship in the sense that real scholarship was consumed in training it to produce text that looks like scholarly answers, and not in any more responsible sense than that. Historical dramas are based on real events, too. After all, they look like the past.

If you can’t tell the difference between an expert and a bot, what that tells you is that you can’t tell the difference between an expert and a bot. It doesn’t tell you anything whatever either about the bot or about the knowledge that you’re asking the bot to give you because you aren’t an expert.

this timeline CRAVES your rare perspective. it CRAVES the thing that speaks from your heart but ‘isn’t the way things are done.’ when i talk about ‘what is your story OUTSIDE of the text?’ i am speaking of this. your personal tap into the endless cosmic river is your rare perspective

its unfortunate that artists get talked out of their rare perspectives so often. ‘its just not done that way’ someone says and artist goes ‘oh okay guess ill sand that part off.’ bud that is your SPARK. so much of my success is from holding firm on the things i do that were called ridiculous

Listening in to the live Artemis II feed. I love the way they talk about everything (jargon, acronyms, plaing English) . Like a bit ago, an astronaut was talking emotionally about how beautiful the views were of the approaching moon, and Houston's CapCom person responded plainly “Copy. Moon joy.”

Heated Rivalry shows us that the most transportive, visionary, speculative future isn’t one that looks different from our reality. It’s one that feels different. It’s a difference that we as the audience can feel as if we’ve already lived in that world too.
