Prophets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but their message is eternal. Truth has no shelf life.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Sukimamori is a one-eyed purple monster who scares kids away from the gap between the platform and the train in various stations around Japan.

Just finished Invisible Women - One of the most profound books I've ever read. No matter if you think you understand sexism or not, you should read this book. Whether you're in a position of power or not, you should read this book.

There’s a lie we tell creative people.

After careful analyzing trumps words and actions I must come to the following conclusion.

When he speaks, he;
A) is lying
B) is full of shit
C) is making stuff up as he goes.
D) a combination of A), B) and/or C)

I can’t stress how worrisome this is for the existence of the whole world.

First we had a text generating machine, but it wasn't enough to raise billions, so it became branded as AI.

A year later we still had a text generating machine, but to raise more billions Altman started hawking AGI.

Now even AGI isn't enough for yet more billions, so out comes Super Intelligence.
AGI is dead, long live AGI

Kudos to Ilya Sutskever’s brand team for moving us from AGI to “super intelligence”, and now Altman is talking about the singularity (again, no mention of AGI). What a marketing coup 💀

This is fascism
Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵
