Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Megadoc is now live on The Criterion Channel!
I was an editor on this documentary about the incredible story behind the making of Coppola's Megalopolis. Even if you haven't seen the film (it's not currently available on streaming) this is some fascinating and nutty stuff about filmmaking and what can happen when dreams collide with reality.
✨ MARK YOUR CALENDARS✨ Mike Figgis' MEGADOC - the epic true story of the making of Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS - will begin streaming exclusively on the Criterion Channel starting December 16!

TRYING TO HAVE IT ALL. Acrylic on Canvas 11"x14".
Usually I work from a detailed sketch and underpainting, but every once in awhile I just splatter paint on the canvas and wait for shapes and figures to reveal themselves. My version of surrealist automatism.
