Just use it as a culture to make your own

Oh, sorry, didn't you hear? There's a new yogurt now. It tastes basically the same but this one is $8. All the recipes are using it so you can't opt out. It's good because kings used to eat it

wrote briefly about architecture and the situation at u Chicago www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Why Did UChicago Destroy the Humanities?

The answer is simple: to spend untold sums on useless buildings by starchitects.

“enshittification” in a graph

Ruo Shui @ruoshuiresearch.bsky.social · 21h

A line chart titled “AI-Generated Content Has Surpassed Human Content.” The chart tracks the relative share of total online content produced by humans versus AI from January 2020 through January 2025. The y-axis represents percentage share, ranging from 0% to 100%.

The green line labeled “Human” starts near 100% in early 2020, maintaining a flat trend until around late 2022. Afterward, it declines sharply through 2023 and 2024, dropping below 50% by late 2024 and settling just under 50% by early 2025.

The yellow-orange line labeled “AI” begins near 0% in 2020, remaining nearly flat until November 2022, when a black callout marker notes: “Nov 2022 – ChatGPT Launches.” Following that point, the AI line rises rapidly, crossing the 50% mark around late 2024, slightly surpassing human content by early 2025.

Starsky Carr tried AI generating music of particular artist styles even down to the chord progressions

His observations are that there is some smoothing process yielding "a blend of mediocrity" that lacks those rough edges which made each artist attractive to us

I tried to Recreate Radiohead with AI... it kept giving me Coldplay

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

Brassica oleracea, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form, is a plant of the family Brassicaceae. The species originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was most likely first cultivated. It has many common cultivars used as vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco, kale, Brussels sprout, collard, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan.

Marketplace logic in particular fails to sustain core human values

dankcello-ween @danielketter.com · 3d

Marketplace logic DOES fail, often! Maybe we should be suspicious of any instance where we are expected to let marketplace logic dictate our behavior

“competitive on the market” being the key phrase I think

Tobias Wilson-Bates @phdhurtbrain.bsky.social · 3d

Feels like in the 2000-2010s there was this sea change in academia where young scholars were supposed to brand themselves in this or that way to be competitive on the market, but 3 market collapses later it feels like the pivot simply led to atomized individualistic approaches to illegible fields

This is a crucial problem in graduate training (such as it is etc. etc.)

We prepare students to position themselves within a discourse, & also to do institutional service work: but not “how to defend the humanities”

Does that really fall in the category of “things you can only do once hired”?

Tobias Wilson-Bates @phdhurtbrain.bsky.social · 3d

I do think this is at the heart of the issue. Our fields prepare us to participate in stable institutional structures but not how to collectively protect those structures from bad faith attacks and neoliberal dismantling.

The practice room, the shed, the studio etc are all incredibly isolating and when we hit a brick wall we’re meant to feel shame for wanting to ask for help or feedback.
