The thing about “intentional” cheesemaking is that it has to be preceded by “unintentional” cheesemaking and then “intentional” consumption of whatever the hell that was followed by a period in which the kind of person who would do that has to convince everyone else it’s a good idea too.

At some point I played my last game of chasing with my friends in school, without realising it would be our last game.
However, that means one of us is still IT, and doesn't even know. Forever chasing people who don't know they're being chased.
I think about this all the time. Is it me? Am I IT?

Artist be like if I shift this line 0.05 cm to the left, increase overlay by 2%, and move this character’s head slightly by 3° will make a life changing difference that everyone notices

Bit late to this but it's such a clever piece of AI criticism, developing a literary critique of Sam Altman's auto-metafiction story as a way to explore the grave threats to the "intellectual infrastructure" of the humanities - and HE more broadly - posed by AI lareviewofbooks.org/article/lite...

Reactions to the "debunking" of the original 1956 cognitive dissonance work baffles me. A whole area doesn't die just bec the first work is faulty. That's novelty bias & theory ownership in psych talking. Mendelian genetics did not die when Mendel's original results were found too good to be true.

A linear article laid out for print is way past its expiry date and it’s shameful we can’t do better.
I’m ready for a fight: figures belong in-line in manuscripts for peer review. No exceptions.
