RIP Mario Vargas Llosa.

In this lovely @parisreview interview from 1990 Llosa remarks that he relied on the "trampoline of reality" to write and found insight—in supposed contrast to Marquez who is said to have written Solitude in his head during a car ride—thru the catharsis of hard work, seeming to present himself as a meticulous, plodding, gradualist. But then he goes on to acknowledge that this catharsis was tied up with not just the act of slow, painful writing but also with a need to be doing a thousand other things as his ideas came alive and consumed him.
A milestone for AI collaboration! 🇫🇷🇨🇱 Today, we celebrated the inauguration of the Franco-Chilean Binational Center of Artificial Intelligence. Interesting insights from the director of INRIA France and Chile’s Minister of Science & Technology #AI@Inria@inria_chile
“GenAI empowers not the artist, not the writer, but the tech industry. It steals content to remake content, graverobbing existing material to staple together its Frankensteinian idea of art & story.”

If you haven't yet read Ted Chiang's essay on generative AI and art, get on it. For my money, it's one of the best things written on AI, period—it gets to the heart of what's so dismaying about AI in a single haunting sentence:
"It reduces the amount of intention in the world."

The #orms community should reflect on this:
"The priorities of academic researchers and research users in practice and industry are poorly aligned (...) Frustratingly, rather than these two forms of impact overlapping with each other, they often diverge"
