Sometimes, in some languages, x can be pronounced like "ch", meaning it's not impossible over enough generations for the word "phoenix" to gradually shrink into "finch"

I'd say there is no point in trying anymore. We have to treat every image, video or audio recording like we already treat written or spoken things. Might be true, might be false. Fact or fiction. Focus on who made that, and why. And only then decide if it may be true.

There's been a lot of evidence put out there recently that scientists and tech folks should have to take more humanities courses in their education.

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

I am a sucker for semi-random book recommendations like this one. A half-heard book review on the radio? A person on the internet I follow because whatever? The pick of the week by the book store with the weird t-shirt? Good enough for me. Great way to discover books I'd never have read otherwise.

Someone on here said that videogames offer a fantasy of predictable rewards for one's work, which in real life might not be rewarded at all. I think about it a lot!

Pottery. The entire long history of people taking dirt and putting it near fire. The finest samian ware, the blackest medieval pots. Your toilet bowl would have been a kingly marvel in the 17th century!

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? It is actually really hard to measure stuff correctlly. Any number needs a bunch more numbers to tell you how wrong it is. And then you slap a safety margin on it, because you still don't know for sure.

thinking once again about The Most Wrong Tweet Ever
Tweet from Casey Neistat:

If you could be born at any time in history, when would it be?

for me 1900; fight in WW1, roaring 20s, great depression, fight in WW2, then experience the 50s + 60s in my 50s and 60s, enjoy my twilight years with the modern conveniences of the 70s and die in the 80s before all this internet bullshit begins.
