Long have I wanted to read and understand more classical poetry. One of the reasonable uses of LLMs maybe :
Deepseek's output containing original and contemporary english translation of John Keat's poem. Original line: Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave Contemporary translation: Extremists have their own dreams, which they use to create Original line: A paradise for a sect; the savage, too, Contemporary translation: A perfect world for their group; even primitive people Original line: From forth the loftiest fashion of his sleep Contemporary translation: From the deepest, most intense part of their sleep Original line: Guesses at heaven; pity these have not Contemporary translation: Imagine a kind of heaven; it’s a shame they haven’t Original line: Trac'd upon vellum or wild Indian leaf Contemporary translation: Written down on parchment or ancient scrolls Original line: The shadows of melodious utterance, Contemporary translation: The faint echoes of beautiful, poetic words Original line: But bare of laurel they live, dream, and die; Contemporary translation: Without recognition, they live, dream, and die Original line: For Poesy alone can tell her dreams,— Contemporary translation: Because only poetry can express its dreams— Original line: With the fine spell of words alone can save Contemporary translation: With the magical power of words, it can save

Comparison image between an Apple TV show called extrapolations on the left and a photo from the Palisades fire on the right. Extrapolations was science/research based show that I couldn't watch because of how cruelly plausible they were.

Cold night in Vienna" by Jennifer Albert.
A serene winter scene featuring a majestic gothic-style building illuminated with warm lights under a misty, moonlit sky. The snow-covered pathway is lined with glowing red streetlamps and bare trees, while a solitary figure in a dark coat walks away

We're living in UpsideDown ..
As an Indian immigrant to the USA with exposure to politics of both the countries, there's never been a full day.
Article from The Hindu, a major Indian daily with title - Scientists believe cow only animal that inhales, exhales oxygen: Allahabad HC. Similar to the conservative USA SCOTUS, Indian courts are packed with Sanghis- Indian MAGA with batshit crazy brainwashing that I don't have enough space here to explain. Hate women, they hate minorities - yeah EXACTLY like the MAGA
