Cuando leo los lamentos de Pérez Reverte me acuerdo de los ojos glaucos (verde claro) del capitán Alastriste. Hasta cuatro veces los describe así en un libro que no llega a las 150 páginas. El granizo sobre el teclado produce mejor literatura que este hombre.

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

La sanidad pública en Madrid funciona parecido a la red hidrográfica. Aguas abajo están los hospitales gestionados por Quirón que recogen los pacientes desembalsados del resto de la red. Pero ojo, que no se desborden

The only bit of interesting news here is the further confirmation that any billionaire can get an instant meeting at the WH while congresspeople are still being actively prevented from entering government buildings.
The juxtaposition could not be more clear. The US is an oligarchy.

Possibly the best summation on why ay-eye is awful I've seen yet. And succinct, too, covering all the bases.

At risk of repeating myself: The Luddites weren’t against technology. They were against getting put out of work by a technology that did a version of their job faster but worse, in the service of increasing profits for their bosses.

perfect illustration of the farce of "AI" as a technical, scientific project. a project singularly organized around bilking educational institutions, scoring lucrative military contracts, and interfering in healthcare to fleece patients and doctors.

This goes well beyond humanities and classrooms. Art is not just an array of pixels on a screen. Physics is not just a sequence of LaTeX commands. Consciousness is not just an emission of tokens. The whole field is has mistaken byproducts for products.
This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

The explanation I hear is usually ‘collecting data is costly and slow, but simulating data is cheap and fast, so let’s do that’. You know what’s also cheap and fast? Spinning on my office chair. Looking at that tree. Doesn’t mean they say anything useful to complement or replace actual trials.

I gotta confess, for years now I've had this gnawing feeling that for a lot of consumers (and even more publishers), all they look for in art is how "polished" it is, and it turns out it might specifically be only the really superficial markers of polish?
It's quite depressing how ai image generators have revealed how few people have any sort of ability to interpret and assess art.
Like this is shit. And full of weird, inhuman mistakes. And someone, several someones probably, went "yep, great, use this".
