Trying to imagine being so boring that I would care whether or not the helmets are made right in a story where a man is gifted a bag of favorable winds.
Ever since the first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus was revealed, Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey has faced questions about its historical accuracy. Now, the debut of its trailer has reinvigorated that debate. https://t.co/ww4vRRxNfY

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

The most correct take.
Execs will tell players and devs that using genAI is about empowering us to make our jobs easier or do them better, and then they use it to churn out slop while they collect fat bonuses.
Make them regret using this shit or they will destroy this medium game-by-game.

Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.
The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.
Have some fucking self respect for once.

This was a succinct, clarifying read about the current AI bubble and its inevitable pop. We're living in a "storytelling economy."

This is masculinity too
I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity.
It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

My wife is in Vogue shitting on your AI-generated "art" 💜 www.vogue.com/article/matt...
![Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:obalt57atoxc2zooldtuur75/bafkreifnjtvupzmkqg7cggiv2z5nckzpp5yd2sm7h5gg2kq3plbwv2btuy@jpeg)

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.
Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

One week from the Canadian election. I’ll own that I’m rooting for the Liberals. Carney seems qualified and day to handle things, vs. The Cons who blend shitty social politics with obstructionist policies and are led by a guy who feels like Diet Trump to me.
