Every four years I consider learning the rules of curling but then decide it's more enjoyable if I don't.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.

Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

It’s almost preposterously good. God, Garland knows how to write a story that’ll immediately take up residence in my brain. A philosophical ghost train

Bluesky is like what I imagine twitter was like when it started. Twitter is now like a cross between the future in the Terminator when it's run by robots and the Martian red light district in Total Recall.

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event

"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"

This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking β€œwow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

His presence as Tesla in The Prestige is so beautifully understated and characteristically other. It’s such a brilliant piece of casting; the man quietly at the centre of the story (the creator of the it’s-all-there-when-you-know opening shot) patiently waiting for everyone to catch up

Though it falls foul of his tendency to cram too many ideas into to little space, it’s always a joy to hear his voice map a limited vocal line with so much detail
