“It’s technically a documentary,” Naomi Fry says of Fielder’s new film about Elizabeth Holmes, “but it seems at times more like a philosophical treatise on the knowability of other people.” https://t.co/GEGlugo2RS

For @Harpers, I gaze into the fires of our collective chatbot madness, and the varieties of visionary encounter now afoot: spirit communion via LLM... the heralding of slop and its generation as mediumship, channeling... the stuff of revelation itself https://t.co/4D8lkaGa8j

"Just as our national-defense establishment’s alphabet soup of lethal agencies gets little pushback for its engagements with jargon—its often opaque talk of “threat levels” and “terrorist cells” and the many “bright lines” at whose thresholds diplomacy must end and violence begin—football fans have come to tolerate, and even crave, a surprisingly high level of nerdy, insidery talk." - @vcunningham
