this is an instance of a broader epistemic problem which is that until now programs were assumed to embed situational knowledge and judgement and this is no longer the case if the code is generated by a non reasoning and non learning entity

Something instead of nothing
Comic strip, page 1: a chimpanzee is using sign language to communicate to a zookeeper, “Why is there something instead of nothing?” The zookeeper laughs to his colleagues, “He wants another banana!” The other zoo workers are cracking up hysterically behind him.Page 2: Later, the main zookeeper is in a dark room filled with TVs displaying security footage of the zoo animals. He is soaking wet in a raincoat, staring solemnly at the screen which shows the chimpanzee. The zookeeper reaches down to press a large red button on the desk beneath the screen display.Page 3: from inside the chimpanzee exhibit, we see the security gate open. The chimpanzee wander through and exits the building to a dark, rainy street corner. He extends his arms and lets the rain fall onto him.Page 4: the chimpanzee is in the backseat of a cab, driving somewhere else in the city at night. The final panel is the chimpanzee at checkout in a grocery store with a huge pile of bananas. The clerk looks mildly shocked.

There’s no better writing. No better executive producing. No better weary but empathetic eyes. No better direction of a sixth episode of a second season.
Noah Wyle modestly answers the questions GQ didn’t ask:

'In that moment, remember these words:
This is not a springboard—this is a surfboard. If you think you can jump off of this to a higher height, you will not. You will fall. If you stay on this board and you let this wave carry you, I promise mou it will take you where you want to go. But take it from me, if you're looking for better writing, there isn't. If you're looking for more resonance with your work, there wont be. If you're looking for a more inclusive community where you're going to be respected and honored and valued, good luck to you. I've been out there. It doesn't get any better than this. So enjoy it because this is going to be the one you're comparing everything to for the rest of your life.'"

Project Glasswing is a glimpse at an oncoming future in which agents do things humans could never have accomplished and the results are handled by other agents faster than humans could react and we are just spectators.

"opposing AI on quality is a losing fight" is a very nice way to put what I've been trying to say for a year a) a read on current quality based on free ChatGPT is 6-12 months out of date b) quality just keeps improving with no end in sight c) higher quality is potentially *worse* socially

One of the most unforgettable images capturing the vibrant promise of the new year, by the great Bauhaus artist László Moholy-Nagy: 7 A.M. (New Year's Morning), c. 1930 www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
Photograph shot from above, aka a bird's eye view, of an urban street with tram tracks, and three figures: a delivery man (perhaps for bread?0 on a bicycle, and a male and female couple walking arm in arm. The long shadows suggest it is early in the morning

The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off
