Have you stopped by Twitter recently? The whole thing is rage-bait. I found myself falling for it a couple of times. Staying away from it.

Altman gets a kick out of it, but I find it unfathomably sad. There’s a lot of trial and error in parenting, but when you get something right, the sense of satisfaction is incommensurable. And you don’t have to share the credit with AI.

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

The one thing I realized throughout the Tarantino-Paul Dano brouhaha is that a lot of people are sick of QT’s holier-than-thou, I’m-the-alpha-and-omega persona and didn’t know it.

Is Quentin Tarantino ok? Is he out to promote “People and Things I Hate”?
Quentin Tarantino Says He “Can’t Stand” Owen Wilson & Woody Allen Only Directs “First Drafts” In ‘Midnight In Paris’ Take
Quentin Tarantino Says He “Can’t Stand” Owen Wilson & Woody Allen Only Directs “First Drafts” In ‘Midnight In Paris’ Take
Yes, it’s yet another edition of Quentin Tarantino sniping his way through Hollywood on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast, where the filmmaker and the cantankerous novelist-screenwriter compare notes on their favorite films of the 21st century and inevitably end up throwing a few punches along the way.
