people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

The Tea Party wasn’t organic; it was a Koch Bros funded project. MAGA wasn’t organic - Trump had both Burnett & Putin working together to shape& direct his charisma into a cult. Pizzagate, “Draft Our Daughters”, “Litter boxes” in classrooms, “school transitions” for kids…ALL created by data abuse.

"But there is another story of print entirely independent of book history in Europe, one that also determined world history with the preservation of Buddhist, Chinese dynastic, and Islamic texts."
openculture.com
The Oldest Book Printed with Movable Type is Not The Gutenberg Bible: Jikji, a Collection of Korean Buddhist Teachings, Predated It By 78 Years and It’s Now Digitized Online
The history of the printed word is full of bibliographic twists and turns, major historical moments, and the significant printing of books now so obscure no one has read them since their publication.

Art, music, movies, books, tv shows, plays, games, these are a huge part of how we form bonds, know we can vibe with another human being. AI “art” seeks to replace it with algorithmically personalized content no other person experiences. It sticks a stake in the heart of human connection.

The grouping of the Cornell Seven is a standard terminology for enumerated defendants and doesn’t directly refer to the Central Park Five nor other exonerated defendant groupings throughout history. I think we just remember the ones that were exonerated more than the groups that weren’t. /

Anthropic's IPO filing apparently warns investors that advanced AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” which is a great sales approach and also, coincidentally, the exact phrase I was told when I brought home this guy.

This is more of the critique I'd like to see around sex in TESCREAL spaces tbh. It's not perfect but it really does hit at the core of the issue, which is "this space is for cis men and those who are not "one of the boys" regardless of gender are expected to be available at all times"

Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com
Thrilled to announce our latest incubation: Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Horowitz Andreessen Academy will be a two-year residential program in San Francisco for 16 to 22 year olds.

My biggest regret from my college experience is how divorced it was from the real world (both practically but also intellectually)

HAA is the opposite. Students will learn from real-world practitioners and intellectuals; including founders (Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, Jensen Huang), investors (Elad Gil, Daniel Gross), and professors (Agnes Callard, Tyler Cowen), among hundreds of others. The Academy is the educational experience I wish I had.

In 1984, the educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published a paper about how the average student who received one-on-one tutoring focused on mastery techniques performed better than 98% of the control group. For generations, this was viewed as unrealistic to implement even if it produced the best outcomes.

Fanfiction was where I first learned to read attentively, write un-self-consciously, and to take seriously the complex relationship between text and reader, author and interpreter, canon and “fanon.” I was conducting close linguistic analysis simply to capture the cadence of a particular character: After all, you didn’t want to get comments from invested readers complaining “this is too OOT” (Out Of Character). I would rearrange the narrative structure of my own fics because I had loved the pacing of someone else’s. I would self-edit to feedback from readers according to what was landing well. All of it felt like play. But it was also an education. When I later sat in university lectures learning about focalization, diegesis, and narrative tension, I felt a quiet recognition. I had been doing this sort of work for years; I simply had not known its name.
