So the so-called intellectuals who spent the last 8 years writing "Has DEI gone too far?" columns were all sleeping with each other or sexually harassing or assaulting junior colleagues?

What does 'agentic' AI mean? Tech's newest buzzword is a mix of marketing fluff and real promise

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

The world would be a much better place if people were forced to tell you – in a very clear, unavoidable way – that there's AI slop in what they're trying to sell you. Massive red banner across every ads, articles, etc. type of disclaimer so everyone can make informed choices right away

Terrific video essay — explains with great precision why so many recent movies look and feel so profoundly synthetic.
This is a really remarkable video essay on contemporary film and the theories of Laura Marks. It's making me think about movies in a new way.

Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

Genuinely curious as to why Wu and others who argue along these lines are surprised that pro-Israel politics are on the back-foot in the United States.

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.
