Rocky Horror, Wild at Heart, Silence of the Lambs, and Slackers. Circumstances for all private except the last. In Houston near the end of Slackers my buddy leaned over and said “we could finish this or walk outside and live it.” So we left. Never saw the end.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Fascinating article. They argue that the reason for NVIDIA’s circular investment deals is to intertwine their own fate with that of the big labs, to keep themselves on top

Part of the reason why I’m so insistent about folks understanding AI capabilities is that they’re here to stay and we need to start thinking about what to do in such a world. Putting the genie back in the bottle is a pleasant fantasy that delays serious reckoning
