Wow. The trailer for the incredible FOR EMMA by Ewan Morrison has landed. Coming March 2025.
Good for you David Baldacci - standing up for authors rights against AI theft.
5. Novelist David Baldacci had a remarkable statement last week in the Senate Judiciary Committee. He points out that AI firms would fight violations of their source code copyright, but seem to have no problem violating his.
Isn't this the opposite of what's supposed to happen?
New Anthropic Research: “Inverse Scaling in Test-Time Compute” We found cases where longer reasoning leads to lower accuracy. Our findings suggest that naïve scaling of test-time compute may inadvertently reinforce problematic reasoning patterns. 🧵
the endpoint of capitalism: fake people listening to fake music to generate free money for the already wealthy while everyone else is cut out completely
Human cultural replacement. Not just AI music but AI listeners too - a fake and fraudulent way for Spotify to generate Ad revenue. Who needs humans when bots can click on links and trick advertisers into paying for fake engagement.
AI YouTube videos on Nietzsche, Schopenhauer & Camus that are full of errors, misquotes & modern self-help jargon. A spate of them in the last two weeks with AI scripts, AI voiceovers & AI images. The latest SLOP that’s contaminating historical learning.
All Utopias fail, H.G Wells finally claimed, after a lifetime of trying to design one - because they are static. They always have to stick to one single master plan. They become rigid, authoritarian & destroy those who do not fit the plan. The tech utopia is no different
“As long as there are kids who are pissed off and have no real way of venting out that anger, heavy metal will live on.” Ozzy Osbourne (1949-2025) RIP
"When knowledge becomes rigid, it stops living" Anselm Kiefer "All Utopias are static" H.G.Wells
"I grew up in a forest. It's like a room. It's protected. Like a cathedral... it is a place between heaven and earth." Anselm Kiefer (1945- )
Anselm Kiefer's best new artworks, are not those large Van Gogh inspired paintings but these small chemically messed-up photographs.
After the loss of his right arm during WW1 and the difficulties he encountered in transporting his camera, Czech photographer Josef Sudek (1896-1976) turned his studio window into the subject of many years worth of exquisite artworks. Gentle moments of tenderness and melancholy.
Hey folks, I'm pleased to announce that I'll be at this years Edinburgh International Book Festival, talking to the wonderful Georgina Godwin about my new novel - For Emma. We'll be exporing "the acceleration of technology, Al, resistance, and what it is to be human." Come along
Happy 70th Birthday Willem Dafoe. Seems like a lifetime ago when I saw him playing The Tramway, Glasgow with the Wooster Group - doing their deconstructed, avant-garde, mash-up of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. Photo by Mart Engelen
Another step towards the dead internet - AI Agents roaming the net for you - doing tasks you set them. But hold on, agents don't look at ads & they don't click to buy. The advertising foundation of the net is collapsing.
New tools from OpenAI and Perplexity can browse the web for you. If the idea takes off, these generative AI agents could turn the internet into a ghost town where only bots roam. wired.com/story/browser-…
