Sula's wisdom:
"Y'all, hold my hand.
Feel it: making art based on statistics and market numbers, what the 'audience wants', is like driving only looking at the rear mirrors.
Who knows how to make art is the artist, not the audience. If the audience knew what it wanted, they'd do it themselves."

Galera, segura minha mão
Sente:
Fazer arte baseado em estatística e número de mercado, o que "o público quer", é dirigir olhando só pro retrovisor.
Quem sabe fazer arte é o artista, não o público. Se o público soubesse o que ele quer, ele mesmo faria a arte.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

A young woman is blessed with magic that could restore life to a dying world. Allied with a mentor who thinks the world should burn, a ruthless noble with her own agenda, and an enigmatic prince, she must evade enemies and learn if she is meant to save the world.

It can be incredibly hard to see your progress when recovering from depression or burnout. The whole world keeps demanding certain benchmarks of you to the point that it’s easy to feel like a failure despite your hard work. Remember your progress is your own journey. Every win means something.

It is almost impossible to write a book a year while working as a family breadwinner and being a present parent. If this is your situation, you are not failing. The world wants you to think you are so you buy things. Just keep swimming.

Just finished Pornography, men possessing women by Andrea Dworkin.
Brilliant as usual, but I had to skip the films/books descriptions in the end because they were unbelievably disgusting.
The things men do to women... unforgivable.
