That this bot, which posts random stills and clips from the thousands of hours of VHS transfers on archive.org, landed on *this specific frame* feels like finding the monkey at the typewriter that managed to write Hamlet.

This is such important work, and the thing to keep in mind is that when AI people tell you that games will be personalized for you, this is the kind of thing they are more likely to mean.

TV prankster Nathan Fielder and co-director Lance Oppenheim have ingeniously assembled a gut-busting cringe comedy that doubles as an unexpectedly hefty philosophical inquiry into the nature of perception. "It’s also the story of a master manipulator meeting his match," writes critic Sean Burns.

Elizabeth Holmes documentary 'You Can See Everything' is a wild, mind-melting movie
Before reporting to prison, the reclusive Holmes invited TV prankster Nathan Fielder to come to her home and hear her side of the story. This is a film "people are going to be talking about for the rest of the year, and probably long after that," writes critic Sean Burns.

In other words, you can historically be queer and a misogynist or even an absolute fascist. Similar synthesized contradictions are already well documented in Ancient Greece, pre-modern Japan, or even through the likes of Yukio Mishima.

This is a fantastic video. Louisa Gag would likely still be alive today if the truck that hit her in Boston had side guards. These pieces of metal are a great example of how there are many simple interventions that could prevent cyclist and pedestrian deaths, yet our leaders fail to implement them.

Incredible that this wholesome poem by an Irish monk about him and his cat, Pangur Bán, is from the 9th century
Pangur Bán and I at work, Adepts, equals, cat and clerk:
His whole instinct is to hunt, Mine to free the meaning pent.
More than loud acclaim, I love Books, silence, thought, my alcove.
Happy for me, Pangur Bán
Child-plays round some mouse's den.
Truth to tell, just being here, Housed alone, housed together, Adds up to its own reward:
Concentration, stealthy art.
Next thing an unwary mouse
Bares his flank: Pangur pounces.
Next thing lines that held and held
Meaning back begin to yield.All the while, his round bright eye Fixes on the wall, while I Focus my less piercing gaze On the challenge of the page.
With his unsheathed, perfect nails Pangur springs, exults and kills.
When the longed-for, difficult Answers come, I too exult.
So it goes. To each his own.
No vying. No vexation.
Taking pleasure, taking pains,
Kindred spirits, veterans.
Day and night, soft purr, soft pad, Pangur Bán has learned his trade.
Day and night, my own hard work Solves the cruxes, makes a mark.

The thing that needs to happen is: (1) A reasonable number of people need to think "hey, I'd like to live near X" and (2) The municipality needs to be welcoming and creative about densifying the area.
