Was thinking the same thing. That would be glorious.

It’s the journey that matters.

That part’s fine. I just don’t like it when they feel they have to explain the artistic/musical bits.

I do so wish American commentators could resist the urge to talk through the Olympic opening ceremonies. Like seriously. Just shut up. Would it kill you?

I’m probably being obtuse. 😁

Like, do I really need to get good at arguing with the demon in the box until it does what I want? Won’t all of that have changed in 6 months? Will I not be able to spend a week figuring it out if it turns out to be vital to my work?

If AI is supposed to be the Easy Button, then why would I worry about struggling to make it work now? Other than checking to see if it’s ready to help me do my work (not so far). It will only get easier to use. Or it will fail.

I think being in a position where nobody close to you ever tells you “no” is ruinous for the human psyche.

All true. I just think the divorce kind of tipped him off an edge. I don’t think he was great before, just worse after.

I suspect that, unlike Musk, his brain hadn’t already melted when he bought it, but the result is the same.

Just a note: it’s better to use the papyri.info URL, as that one is subject to change. And might change in the next few weeks in fact!

Just Hawk? There’s Haw River…

She’s in the Odyssey, and has a couple of speeches in book 4. Not a main character, but she does make an impression.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Why is content curation and data maintenance slow and hard and could benefit from more money for more staff? Because other people (have to?) cut corners and break things in resources you depend on. And people don't listen to @timbernerslee.bsky.social

I’m pleased to serve on the inaugural advisory committee for “DCL at Duke,” a collaboration between the historic Black-led nonprofit org, Durham Colored Library, and the Rubenstein Library at Duke University.

To be fair, it’s been quite hard to turn around for some time now.

We lack the ability/patience to build a rock wall, but this is just as good, right? It’s mostly rock. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do we really think he knows the difference?

No it doesn’t! 🤣

Not to be That Guy, but because I know Latin: intelligentiam artificialem should be in the accusative because it’s indirect speech. Entirely agree with the sentiment!

It’s done wonders for my mood.

Man’s got big pockets.

I feel like he’s a pee in the sink and then not wash his hands because that’s weak kind of guy.

Entirely believable. Satire is dead.

Wanting to renounce your own generation seems like peak Gen X.

Disappointing that “but it would be really funny” isn’t considered a valid scholarly argument.
