ppl dunk constantly on things like philosophy and sociology and then turn around and go "maybe the computer *is* actually talking to me"

it's important to remember a person in the fullness of who they were. jane goodall was also a scarf as outerwear style icon, and a babe
jane goodall sitting on a wooden bench, wearing black pans and a black turtleneck or mock neck, a large leaf pendant necklace, and a large earthy green scarf with aua and brown patterning around the edges, looking off to the side with a knowing smile a young jane goodall, long blonde hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, holding worn binoculars with a slight smirk

JSTOR Labs engineers must think empathetically about the code we write and the impact it can have (and we get to write and publish about that process!)

If you find Ryan's experience interesting, come join him on our team: www.ithaka.org/job/46013390...

Lol, I was going to joke that they probably conducted the AI analysis using a photograph only (which would be absurd given that paintings demand first-hand study, examination of materials, support, etc), and then I visited the AI co.’s website & saw this on the front page:
Screenshot of text from the AI website reading: “The Art Recognition award-winning AI system verifies the authenticity of an artwork based only on a photograph of it.”

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Ah, but this isn't the right type of political violence to be concerned about. Sorry

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"

That's... usually not the case!

In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.

We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

I’ve written versions of this before, but as people contemplate the bursting of the AI bubble, they often point to MOOCs as an example—& I do think the MOOC hype is a useful comparison, but *not* because we can talk about MOOCs in the past tense—the hype is past, but MOOCs are very much with us+

You might think from the name that panpsychism is the belief that bread is conscious. And you’d be right.

Earth, I suppose, was the first cyborg. Liquid metal sheathed in stone sheathed in water and flesh. Now, with the canny intelligence of the flesh seeping back into the stones, it gazes out a billion curious and hungering eyes.
