One would wish to be Don Quixote lacking self awareness, but the ones who share my values are in the sorry portion of Cervantes, the alienated author

Deep sense of alienation today: about universities abandoning their mission as universities; about gen-AI mass deskilling of human cognitive capacity; about stupidity of people in power and people who vote for them. And they are all related.

*are (i kind of wish I had an edit button but then again also fine bec now mistakes feel endearing to me in the age of machine produced texts)

the logic of agency - cause - effect is lost to these people but they are in positions of power

The characteristics of this age is its sheer stupidity and carelessness

this is going to end up with an aircraft carrier stuck in the suez, isn't it

Oh I am so sorry, Venus 😔 And I know how much work they take.

if future historians give a name to our age I do hope it is The Griftimes

Not US law person so would defer to an American colleague but the use of a dead person would add a layer of complication and absurdity to a passing off/right to privacy action in the UK. Also a case of false advertising.

we lost one generation of kids whose brains were guinea pigs for "AI" bots, social media addiction, and interrupted schooling during Covid-19

someone pls write a sci-fi of a world without "AI" chatbots, so guess something like what the world was roughly like in 2020

"Foreign-born Citizens" are actually just called citizens.

"Foreign-born voters" are just called voters

"non-citizen voters" (yes, this is a thing here in 🇬🇧) are just voters.

Judith Hermanns Denkübung, ob der SS-Großvater wohl Täter gewesen sei, ist an sich schon Ausdruck eines katastrophalen, unseligen Revisionismus im vibe shift.

this looks excellent, look forward to reading it

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

if you only know Joyce as a Poster may I suggest reading her novels? there are about 150 of them and they are all absolutely Bonkers

Sorry but what kind of dumb trader is this

Congratulations!

Loved working with Alain on this account of Schmitt's nomos and its disavowed sociotechnics.

now the world awaits the delivery of the requisite geography lesson to the US public, in which Fox News draws diagrams about things known since Alexander the Great.
