AI makes zero sense for TV writing. The cost of human writers is trivial compared to the cost of producing and distributing a show. It’s like trying to save money on your heart surgery by using Scotch tape instead of bandages.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

In an old ad for board game Scattergories in Spain a player was shown flouncing out while anothet said “OK, we’ll accept ‘octopus’ as a pet”.
“Aceptamos pulpo” has now entered the language in the meaning of “that’s a bit of a stretch but let’s go with it just for the sake of argument”.

I cannot overstate the degree to which "turning only to the gospel for guidance" and "I don't have to accept the pope if I don't like him" are like, Sent Directly To Turbo Hell crimes in catholicism. like that's one to one what we had the wars of religion over that killed like 8 million people lol

This is why we must turn only to the Gospel and accept Jesus Christ.

Today, global productivity convergence is still a distant goal. We live in a world characterised by persistent and increasing power imbalances, where the rules of the game remain rigged against the Global South.
Yet inequality and uneven development are not inevitable.

🚨Global economic relations have long been defined by imbalances and unequal power, not by self-correcting market forces, NEW STUDY finds.

@thomaspiketty.bsky.social & @gatonievas.bsky.social call for structural reforms to the international monetary and exchange system.

"For 142 years, the merit-based civil service survived because both parties recognized that functional government requires professional expertise. That consensus is dead. We're watching the transformation of public servants into party servants, of a government of laws into a government of loyalty."

Henry Farrell @himself.bsky.social · Jun 1

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .
