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.”

screenshots from Parks and Rec when Ron and Chris have a burger competition. the dialogue has been replaced to reference Battlestar Galactica

CHRIS: This is the Viper Mark II. It's as manoeuvrable as a jack-rabbit, and can flip end for end in 0.35 seconds. You've never flown anything remotely like it, so don't think that you have; anyone not paying attention is liable to end up as a puddle or something to be hosed out of the cockpit by the chief of the deck.

TOM: It's good...

DONNA: Really good.

RON: This is a Raptor, made of steel, with nothing. Add an assault package if you want; I couldn’t care less.

DONNA: Yeah, this is better.

JERRY: Ohmigods SO much better.

I’m not going to dispute the top three entries, although their order could probably shift. However, I am actually surprised that Doctor Who doesn’t crack the century. It’s not like the list lacks genre shows or British shows. And it certainly had a huge cultural impact. Just an odd exclusion.

screencap from letterboxd list titled: “My ten favorite Paul Anderson movies”

The movies on the list are: Punch Drunk Love, Event Horizon, Magnolia, The Master, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, There Will Be Blood, Soldier, Boogie Nights, and Alien vs. Predator

The joke is that some of these are directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and some are directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.

Hey, I notice you're trying to influence political candidates during an election. That's really inconvenient, politically speaking. Wouldn't it be better to wait until after the election, when the candidate has everything they need from you, and you have zero leverage?
