“Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight.”
this week's master chef contains one of my favorite moments of all time - doug, after sitting through a six-minute combo, concedes the literal move before gage gets to his finisher
this is the maddest i have ever seen gage
Managed to find the maps I drew for Storm of Iron, both of which were integral to planning & writing the novel. The 1st shows the initial setup of the Iron Warriors siege-lines, the 2nd shows the progression of the battle, together with my scribbles. I'll see if I can find more.
The real worst part of AI voice acting is that it robs us of the spectacle of seeing random people whip out a near 1 to 1 impression of a character for stupid shit like this
Luigi Mangione’s alleged manifesto published by @kenklippenstein:
“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
