here's what "getting there" means to these people btw (published March of this year) harpers.org/archive/2026...

from March 2026 Harper's article

"Another experiment let Claude run a vending machine in Anthropic’s headquarters. This one went even worse. The AI failed to make sure it was selling items at a profit, and had difficulty raising prices when demand was high. It also insisted on trying to fill the vending machine with what it called “specialty metal items” like tungsten cubes. When human workers failed to fulfill orders that it hadn’t actually placed, it tried to fire them all. Before long, Claude was insisting that it was a real human. It claimed that it had attended a physical meeting with staff at 742 Evergreen Terrace, which is where the Simpsons live. By the end of the experiment, it was emailing the building’s security guards, telling them they could find it standing by the vending machine wearing a blue blazer and a red tie."

still don't know what to make of Hope, a top-notch monster action film that feels like it's slowly colliding into an in-progress sci-fi franchise you've never heard of — i kinda can't wait for the internet to get hold of it (and its truly bonkers ending)

watched Civil War for the second time last night and it hit harder than ever, can't stop thinking about it. two years ago, it was dinged for being broad and apolitical… i think history is going to place it as a descendant of Paths of Glory, seriously

Level-Up: Taking Your Comics to the Next Tier
• Saturday July 25, 2026 5:00pm - 6:00pm PDT
• Room 11
Marcus McNeal (editor-in-chief, Odyssey Comics), Rob Pilkington (writer, Slight Return), April Connors (creator, Everybody's Happy Nowadays, as Prof. Raco), Joshua Pruett (writer, Stranger Things Tales From '85; The Last Comics on Earth), and Amy Linsamouth (writer, Jackie and the Magical Guys; Byte Me) discuss strategies for creating comics that stand out, including what separates good ideas from great projects and why so many comics fall short despite solid art or writing. Topics include shaping pitches with clarity and intent, assembling and leading creative teams, navigating editorial without losing your voice, and making choices that give a project a distinct identity.
