They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an underwater submersible opens a latch and drops a red, pill-shaped crappy Bluetooth speaker. A scientist narrates, “we built a Bluetooth speaker to withstand 2000 meters.” Panel 2: the scientist, speaking directly to the camera, continues: “the squids responded really well to Nelly.” Panel 3: on the dark depths of the ocean floor, a group of squids are dancing enthusiastically around the sunken Bluetooth speaker. A couple of them are getting kinda nasty with it to be perfectly honest

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

‘Graceland’ was released 40 years ago today. It’s one of the most celebrated albums of all time, but Paul Simon was also criticized for violating a cultural boycott of apartheid-era South Africa to record the LP — a controversy that will be explored in Bill Condon’s upcoming film ‘The Road Home.’

Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room

Sure, sure, people looked at LLMs and said "wow they can generate code," but the extrapolation from there to "literally replacing 50% of workers" is entirely a result of the cult-like worship of the wealthy and the belief that big money can never be wrong, even though it has been before.

'The Mowing-Devil', printed in 1678. It recounts, as fact, an alleged incident in #Hertfordshire. A farmer saw a fiery light over his oat field one night, and then found it had been mysteriously mowed. The illustration encouraged some to believe it depicts the first Crop Circle. #WyrdWednesday

The cover of the 1678 pamphlet 'The Mowing-Devil, Or, strange NEWS out of Hart-fordshire. There follows lines of text outlining the incident and then a woodcut of a devilish creature with a scythe, which has cut concentric ovals in a field. Some of these lines might depict flattened stalks or flames.

Christopher Nolan, for all his flaws, makes real movies that even people who sop up all the content slop inherently realize is an example of how things used to be before everything was half-assed and done in a green screen soundstage.

Which of the following items might help an HR professional drive employee retention and success?

• A ping-pong table. (the answer made to be correct)
• Additional responsibilities
• A raise in pay. (chosen by the user)
Incorrect. Often when an employee leaves, it's not about the money. A good exit interview can help determine the real causes of employee discontent.

I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing

Three panel comic. Panel 1: the mutant bear from Annihilation (2018) is sitting and eating at a restaurant table across from a woman. Another woman wearing glasses is standing a short distance away, and says, “oh my gosh! The mutant bear from annihilation!” Panel 2: she continues, “what was Natalie Portman like?” The bear seems slightly put off, and is in the middle of eating some food. Panel 3: the bear says, “um, I’m kinda with a friend.” The woman sitting across from the bear looks visibly annoyed at the other woman’s rude interjection. The woman is glasses says, “ah! Sorry!”

Two panel comic. Panel 1: there’s a rap battle going on, with a small crowd of onlookers enjoying the show. The guy on the microphone raps, “this fool brought an ancient staff. You got no swag; it makes me laugh!” Panel 2: the rapper holding the other microphone is an evil sorcerer with sunken eyes and a long purple robe. In his other hand, he grasps an ancient magic staff, which instantly shoots a bolt of powerful energy at the first rapper, reducing him to ash. The crowd of people watching the battle react excitedly, in awe of the evil sorcerer’s skills.
