A mathematical ceiling limits generative AI to amateur-level creativity

It has been one year since the CD Release Party for Winter Gala.
These pictures capture the joy we were all feeling that day. They are made all the more special because they were shot by the late, brilliant Vancouver photographer Diane Smithers, much missed and loved. Very glad she was there.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The same reason US oligarchs use socialism as their argument to destroy our democracy. They don't want Americans to realize how much better their lives would be by embracing and extending FDR's social programs to include healthcare for all. Our economy is shattered due to wealth imbalance.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

“Welcome to Bluesky. We’re sorry about Jerry.”
This has always made me sick to my stomach. Today is an absolute disgrace.
A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
