At this point, it’s better to assume that all longform tweet essays are written by AI (while reserving the right to be surprised if it’s a exuberantly human and spiky-prosed piece) rather than assume they’re all written by people and being constantly shocked by the triple-digit pangram score

Our new Heritage Minute: NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE just won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Song … for “The Alphabet Song.” This is not a joke.

[Natural Philosophy @Naturalphilosy]

“I tell the rogues to read, read, read, read, read. Those who read own the world; those who immerse themselves in the internet or watch too much television lose it... Our civilization is suffering profound wounds because of the wholesale abandonment of reading by contemporary society.”

— Werner Herzog

[daniel debow @ddebow]

biggest error of all the “AI will destroy the economy” takes is that they massively underestimates the latent entrepreneurial drive and capabilities of humanity.

[𝚃 @T_wontmiss]

24 years old.
Fully paid off Costco hotdog.
It's not "parents money".
It's not luck.
It's consistency.
It's discipline.
I grind EVERYDAY to live this lifestyle.

[Larry Sanger @lsanger]

As a society, we will greatly regret not having made multiple, independent copies of Internet Archive, letting it all rest in the hands of one organization.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

And therefore when we go to investigate we shouldn't pre-decide what it is we are trying to do except to find out more about it... My interest in science is to simply find out more about the world.

[Brett Hall @ToKTeacher]

In a world near fully automated by AI, the only thing that can never be automated is explanatory creativity.

People will never be made redundant.

[Air Raid | Buffalo @TheBillsGuys]

The Steelers knew the Colts wanted off of Michael Pittman and got him for a late round pick swap. The Bills knew the Bears wanted off of DJ Moore and it cost them a second round pick. Food for thought.

I asked director Matt Johnson about our current obsession with camera gear.

[Michael Millerman @millerman]

This is a time when philosophers can prove that philosophy still is and deserves to be the queen of the sciences and the king of the realm. In my opinion, AI as a topic is deeply philosophical from head to toe, and thinkers shouldn't shy away from the many questions it raises

New pod: THE MEDIA THEORY THAT EXPLAINS “99% OF EVERYTHING”

I asked the @TheStalwart to come on the show to talk about the return of orality, the rise and fall of literate culture, the research of Walter Ong, and what makes Trump “Homeric”

a completed failure teaches you more than an abandoned masterpiece

[David Deutsch @DavidDeutschOxf]

Karl Popper: "A rationalist, as I use the word, is a man who attempts to reach decisions by argument and perhaps, in certain cases, by compromise, rather than by violence. He is a man who would rather be unsuccessful in convincing another man by argument than successful in crushing him by force, by intimidation and threats, or even by persuasive propaganda."

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

There are two rules in life:

1) Never give out all the information.
