When dems regain power, they will need to learn to walk and chew bubble gum and, importantly, to also kick ass. And as far as I am concerned its okay if they run outta bubble gum.

So now we have reason to doubt the human origin of much of what we read. And a writer (a student, eg) has reason to worry their reader may doubt their humanness. A profoundly alienating state of affairs!

A colleague of mine frames the LLM problem as one of alienation. Writing is a tool for communicaton from one human mind to another. But LLM-generated text does not come from a human mind…

What bothers me the most is how much these sorts of articles actually disparage and degrade the concept of being alive. Not even the most savage, purest materialist treats being alive with such disrespect.

People dunking on this like these folks are wrong or dumb or something but they got his policies & neighborhood right! Only missed on ethnicity & “to the right of” — two extremely made up concepts

I’ve seen this before, it’s terminal Property Brain. “These people may be impacting the bottom line of petty bourgeois business owners! They don’t pay rent! This must be stopped at once!”

Red States: We're cutting the humanities at our public universities to spend more money on right-wing indoctrination Blue States: We're cutting the same programs, but to spend more money on AI and the business school.

Yeah it's bleak, man. ICE is bad now but it's just a rehearsal for when the real climate-driven mass migrations get going.

The inclusion of potatoes in Lord of the Rings obviously indicates that Tolkien intended an all-South American cast for any adaptation

And in much English speech it sounds like there's an implied R between Fa & ’a long’, and a W between So & ‘a needle!’ Top tier stuff, then yeah… La=La, literally

imagine coming up with musical gold with the melody and lyrics up through "Do, a deer, a female deer Re, a drop of golden sun Mi, a name I call myself Fa, a long, long way to run So, a needle pulling thread" and then just completely phoning it in once you got to "La"

He told Nick Tosches thats exactly what he wanted! I like to think plain old Jay Hawkins is out there right now somewhere cruising the void of space like Norin Radd, singing his ass off, vacuum be damned
"If it were up to me I wouldn't be Screamin' Jay Hawkins. My screamin' was always just my way of being happy on stage. James Brown, he does an awful lot of screamin' himself, but he didn't become Screamin' James Brown.“

This is a really interesting observation - I feel like later jazz guys (Wayne Shorter, eg) get cred for ‘harmonically adventurous‘ approaches to the blues. But maybe that’s… just the blues?

Okay but what if you need to pass someone or merge lanes or what if a terrorist has their hand inches away from the detonator or a meteor is headed straight for earth? Have you thought of THAT?

If you really think about it TV is like real life. It starts good for a while then slowly declines into irrelevance before eventually slipping away, barely noticed, into the eternal void of non-existence!

Just had Canvas stop working as I was typing comments on a student paper. I now can’t access anyone’s work or grades. Strangely, this never happened back when I used a grade book and had students email me their papers, a system no shareholders extracted money from.
