Come on, Charlie, let's reopen the government first and then we can totally hold a vote on healthcare. Promise!

Is it bad when even the largest insurers in the world won't touch the risk associated with an emerging industry that's investments now makes up, by some estimates, nearly 40% of US GDP in 2025?

arstechnica.com/ai/2025/10/i...
A screenshot of a news article discussing OpenAI's insurance policy for emerging AI risks. The text states that OpenAI has secured cover of up to $300 million for emerging AI risks with the help of insurance broker Aon, the world's second-largest insurance broker. A person familiar with the policy disputed the figure, saying it was much lower and fell "far short of the coverage to insure against potential losses from a series of multibillion-dollar legal claims." Kevin Kalinich, head of cyber risk at Aon, is quoted as saying the insurance sector doesn't "yet have enough capacity for [model] providers," adding that insurers can't afford a mistake by an AI provider that results in "a systemic, correlated, aggregated risk."

I've come back to this essay over the years and each time I'm taken by just how many bangers Benjamin dropped in this one.
A highlighted section of text from Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" (found in his book Illuminations) reads: "With the advent of the first truly revolutionary means of reproduction, photography, simultaneously with the rise of socialism, art sensed the approaching crisis which has become evident a century later. At the time, art reacted with the doctrine of l'art pour l'art, that is, with a theology of art. This gave rise to what might be called a negative theology in the form of the idea of 'pure' art, which not only denied any social function of art but also any categorizing by subject matter. (In poetry, Mallarmé was the first to take this position.) An analysis of art in the age of mechanical reproduction must do justice to these relationships, for they lead us to an all-important insight: for the first time in world history, mechanical reproduction emancipates the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual. To an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. From a photographic negative, for example, one can make any number of prints; to ask for the 'authentic' print makes no sense. But the instant the criterion of authenticity ceases to be applicable to artistic production, the total function of art is reversed. Instead of being based on ritual, it begins to be based on another practice—politics."

Walter was Gen Z before Gen Z was Gen Z.
A highlighted section of text from Walter Benjamin's essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" from his book "Illuminations": "One might subsume the eliminated element in the term 'aura' and go on to say: that which withers in the age of mechanical reproduction is the aura of the work of art. This is a symptomatic process whose significance points beyond the realm of art."

Love it when the Stroopwafle sits perfectly on top of the mug. Happy Sunday!

I know it's a bit late, but this is by far one of the coolest Valentine's Day gifts I've ever gotten. One of the coolest gifts I've ever gotten, period!

In case you don't understand the photo ... That's arguably the best F1 driver in history— and the newest Ferrari driver—standing in front of the last Ferrari ever personally approved by Enzo ... In front of his old estate in Maranello. Probably the most epic sports pic in the history of sport!

These lines from last night's Knicks v Magic game are ridiculous lol

Josh Hart triple-double
KAT double-double
Brunson 21 + 4
Bridges 19 + 5
Deuce 18 + 4

When this offense clicks it's crazy!

Takes me just under an hour to commute home from the city, get changed out of my work clothes, and pour myself a beer and what not and I just think that's beautiful and hope you find that joy someday too.

Found a six-year-old pair of Surface Headphones that I had long since forgotten and was shocked that they charged up.

Equally shocked at the quality of these things in 2024. These bad boys have a transparency dial, a volume dial, touch controls, a mic mute button, and on-ear detection!
