So a lot of people who have never seen silent movies might wonder how we can get so absorbed in them.
Well, the opening scenes of UP are essentially silent and people are still talking about how touching they are. That’s the power of visual storytelling

If anyone wants evidence of the unreliability of Google's "AI Overview", here it is
I used Google to try to find a story I wrote on the Southport attack for the New York Times
The AI Overview claims there are no results for the search, but the first search result is the article I was looking for

The reason LOST is better than any modern tv show made in the last 5 years is that they all try to pull a “the constant” in season 1 episode 7 instead of in season 4 episode 5. This is probably the most hyper specific complaint I’ve ever had but I strongly believe it to be true

ChatGPT was a homework cheating tool. Now OpenAI is carving out a more official role in education.

We can automate doing personal laundry, cleaning of our cat's litter box, and paying our bills—but not reading with comprehension, or lack thereof. Google's generative AI only promotes cognitive laziness.
