I started doing this to my English professors after I took my first philosophy class.

Tom Holland would call "Spider-Man" producers from "The Odyssey" set in order to "lay down the law" about filming blockbusters the Christopher Nolan way:

“I'd say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out. We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ” (via GQ)

I wrote an essay exploring how structuralism and deconstruction have informed recent theory around 'AI' and 'LLMs' including @leifweatherby's Language Machines: https://t.co/xgepmNr96A

i never got to enjoy the Phenomenology of Spirit properly because someone spoiled the ending before I got to experience it as the maker intended :/

Doesn’t track to me; it’s extremely No Shortcuts. They have a Vaporize People and Buildings Machine, stand next to the CEO, and decide to use it to begin a movement instead of Vaporizing People and Buildings (or just running the setting a few more seconds to communism).

If your political strategy is "no shortcuts" workplace organizing I bet I LOVE BOOSTERS is the most frustrating movie in the world

It’s 2030 and a cop knocks on my door to demand $100 (price of a footlong at OpenAI Subway). I shake my head no and he shows me a video compilation of every time I’ve jaywalked ever, including video of a crime I’m doing tomorrow. Uses an app to garnish my wages for the week ($50)

Adding the humanities/STEM distinction to the list of things that we need to abolish.

well, let's see an AI do THIS!! <proceeds to write an arcane combination of "good," "?" "unclear" "NO" and other inscrutable three-letter acronyms in the margins of your paper>

One of the most climactic moments in the Phenomenology of Spirit is essentially a fight to the death over pronouns
