Carl Sagan said when he was at university in the 1950s, “it was considered unthinkable for an aspiring physicist not to know Plato, Aristotle, Bach, Shakespeare,” and so many of our problems with today’s tech leaders are downstream of their lack of engagement with the humanities.

It's pretty wild, when you think about it, that the political press spent four years saying "Biden's real test: will Americans approve of his economy?" and then Trump's been president for three months and he's brutally murdering the economy and the political press is just not that focused on it

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Hopefully the “the brutalist used ai” news gets HEARD before the oscar voting ends. It’s unfair for ralph fiennes, and sebastian stan who did his trump impression on point without overdoing it, if they lose to adrien brody whose hungarian accent was assisted by ai

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Zoe Saldaña wins Best Supporting Actress in Emilia Pérez & here's the thing: Zoe deserves recognition. Her movies have made over $10 billion. She's often under heavy prosthetics/mocap. She's AMAZING and performs admirably. Sadly the movie is bad and everyone involved in it should feel bad. #Oscars
