Congrats! And NRBQ = the litmus test of rock ‘n’ roll understanding. 😉

AI and Art: Potent Combo or Deadly Mix? | Wampus This era promises to clone artistic creation by automating not only the technical processes behind it, but the appearance of real, human thought and emotion.

"AI will never make human art." We join the scrum in today's blog.

#Severance season finale:

Helly’s declaration that “they think if we only have half a life, then we won’t fight for it” (or words to that effect) spotlights the show’s core subject: the dehumanization of labor in the corporate world.

"Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there’s humor in struggling in ignorance... But I don’t just find humor in unhappiness – I find it extremely heroic the way people forge on despite the despair they often feel."
