Quod facimus format in id quod fimus

@ianharber I believe this rebuttal minimizes the formation that occurs by participating and utilizing these tools. I'd recommend Antón Barba-Kay's "A Web of Our Own Making: The Nature of Digital Formation" for a more in-depth treatment on these specific dangers.

@LyceumInstitute Augmentation is amputation.

@RDLaverty It reminds me of what Alan Jacobs calls “The Gandalf Option” in his blog post at https://t.co/nFtG2WFcUy

@radu0gheorghe @sematext @otisg What’s next for you, Radu?

@zugzwanged In Robert Alter’s commentary he contrasts the feast Abraham provides for the angelic guests with the lesser feast that Lot provides to the same guests. He also notes the other parallels and antitheses between the two acts of hospitality. It’s worth checking out at least.

@dieworkwear I'm heading to Boston (near the Back Bay) in a month or so, do you happen to have any recommendations for good menswear shops in the Boston area?

@leothrix The phrase “weightless packing peanuts” is a great metaphor for LLM-generated prose

So, a New Year's give-away!
A silver denarius from the rule of Marcus Aurelius. Minted in AD 171, it must have passed through all manner of hands... (2 images of the coin are followed by what a better example looks like.)

I'd really like to support my favorite bands by buying merch, but as a tall person shirts don't really fit because I need tall sizes. I wish more bands had merch that wasn't t-shirts/sweatshirts/hoodies.

[Antigone Journal @AntigoneJournal]

A summer books give-away (the first of several)!
If you want a chance to win this haul of books on Greco-Roman history, literature & language, just retweet this message.
On the eve of Sunday 9 July we will send them to the first @antigonejournal follower from the list.
Good luck!

@TheAlanNoble have you seen this video essay? It covers your book (YANYO) as well as synthesizing it with film, Barth, and Perelandra. It's something I thought you might enjoy: https://t.co/zAhxfIxJE1

@FoundnAntiquity @PstrCHAMP I believe this list is missing the @LyceumInstitute, which is a fantastic place to learn Latin for a great price.

The more online text is generated, the less of it we're inclined or expected to read.

So the promise of AI-generated text is that so much of it will be generated that we won't be expected to read any of it.

@owenbroadcast We always thought of her as indicative of Lot’s wife

@_ahungry What made you decide to switch?

[Lee Hinman @thnetos]

@thursdayschild @leothrix I honestly tried doing it in Emacs for a little while, but the customizability there is mostly a negative, and I wanted something easily accessible from every device I own. Obsidian also had the ability to get out of my way easily (Emacs is too tempting when it comes to tweaking)

Finally finished transcribing my recently completed physical notebook into my Zettelkasten. Counting up the numbers:

Lines: 6295
Words: 62787
Bytes: 382663

[Lee Hinman @thnetos]

And on to the next one

[Lee Hinman @thnetos]

@leothrix I've been using Obsidian for it. I used Zettlr for a little while, but find I prefer the linking method and tooling of Obsidian more.

@warkolm What? I don't understand what unit you're talking about
