A he. It's very bad.
Thinking a lot about Borges' story "Tlon Uqbar..." But in our reality Orbis Tertius is a computer that runs on bituminous coal and can regurgitate Star Wars fanfic at about the level of the 80s "Droids" Saturday-morning cartoon.

GenAI is a fascist product. Sorry you don’t have the moral fortitude to do your own thinking, but fascists love that

Translation: "If you don't use AI then the guys using our chips can't pretend to make money and can't pay the loans they took out to pay for the original loans they took out for all the money they're not making and it all falls apart and we can't sell chips to fuel the money they're not making."

My dad's watching some comp of old NFL footage, and something occurs to me. In the 60s & 70s, there was a post-WWII consensus, generally accepted, that technology could synthesize anything as good or better than nature. Real Plastic Fantastic era.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

The modern world is just pro wrestling and a gambling addiction standing on top of a mechanical Turk.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.
