You watched this map take shape for months. Now it exists in the room: pressed into paper, edged in gold, stamped by hand, numbered. Mercator never kept his maps. He drew them so others could cross. Pre-order in bio. Until July 12. www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma...

The artist stands in his studio holding a large horizontal fantasy
map with an ornate gold art nouveau border. The map shows a vast
central tower-city ringed by circular medallions, each painted with
a different landscape. Warm lamplight catches the gold.

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.

“But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Gilding pr0n ❤️✨ When I am working on a big painting that intimidates me, I often take time off doing patterns, especially patterns I know by heart, like this 14th century persian one. It's soothing and helps me think more freely about what I'll do next and that blue is a mix of indigo and spirulin 😁

Update: While the 10yr ban on State Ai regulations progresses through the House, 140 organizations join the call to reject this proposal! Add your voice to these organizations today by calling your representatives and tell them to reject this proposal! thehill.com/policy/techn...

A coalition of more than 140 organizations urged House leaders to reject a proposal in the House's tax and spending bill that would block states from regulating artificial intelligence (Al) models for the next 10 years.
In a letter sent Monday to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and congressional members, the organizations said the 10-year moratorium on state Al regulation would remove accountability for developing technology.

"This moratorium would mean that even if a company deliberately designs an algorithm that causes foreseeable harm - regardless of how intentional or egregious the misconduct or how devastating the consequences - the company making that bad tech would be unaccountable to lawmakers and the public," the letter stated.
Signers of the letter included tech workers, civil society groups, academic institutions, and artists.
Among those are Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, progressive consumer rights watchdog nonprofit Public Citizen and Alphabet Workers Union, the labor representatives for workers at Google's parent company.
The provision, included in President Trump's "one, big beautiful" bill, would bar states from enforcing laws or regulations governing Al models, systems or automated decision systems.

It's almost impressive how comprehensively AI has ruined the internet, from flooding it with fake books and videos to information to spam sites and spam comments and all at the cost of a massive carbon footprint and water consumption. #ai
