You see how this looks, right? Lance Oppenheim's PRIMETIME produced by and starring Robert Pattinson as famed To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, inspired by true events. Have a seat September 25.
I wrote about Sam Altman's friend's idea to make an AI podcast for your kids. The problem is that chatting to your kids in the car is one of the fun parts of having kids. There are many, many unfun and annoying parts! This seems to be a frequent problem with ideas for AI tools for everyday life: its easy for AI to do fun and pleasurable tasks; it's harder for AI to the stuff that actually sucks (laundry folding, etc).
Ultimately, sure, "managing family calendar and delivering audio reminders about that day's activities" is useful for kids, but I'm like 80% sure Alexa could do that 6 years ago, so eh. If someone can figure out AI tools that make managing family calendars work better for them, great, have at it!
But there seems to be a gap in understanding what parenting tasks people want to offload vs ones they treasure
i'm sure the ability to fabricate convincing historical footage that eventually drifts across the internet, where it's picked up by people who present them as real, at a time when trust in educational and media institutions is already eroding, will prove to be a net positive
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio made a jab at Dr. Anthony Fauci during a press conference. Fangio was referring to this week's Senate hearing, during which Fauci, the government's top COVID-19 adviser during the pandemic, invoked his right not to incriminate himself.
Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.
Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.
Bono
🎶 So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all 🎶
Good night, Glen and Sláinte. 🥃💚
