@ChrisCuomo Islam brought light, literacy, science, pluralism, and poetry to the Iberian peninsula—La convivencia— until a barbaric death cult called Catholicism drove them off, along with Jews, out, and then crossed the Atlantic to commit the greatest genocide in human history

@CraigGaIIagher @rob_rubsam Name one of Herbert's fetishes that I should be ashamed to have also.
English
Driving me slightly insane that everyone has to pretend that Andy Weir is a real novelist and not a guy whose books are like 70% math equations

@rob_rubsam Guys like you will earnestly believe this and also tell people you just have to get past all the parts in Dune when Frank Herbert luridly describes his specific sexual fetishes and enjoy the big worm stuff

@CraigGaIIagher Resentful of what? The ability to pad out a sci fi manuscript with high school science projects?

You ever read a book and you’re like “holy shit this is my favorite book” and then they make a movie of it and you’re like “I hope they don’t screw it up” and then the movie comes out and you’re like “holy shit they didn’t screw it up and this is one of my favorite movies ever”?

there is no more self-humiliating opinion one can express than the idea that a hopeful and optimistic tone means something is childish

“At heart, PROJECT HAIL MARY is a kids’ film in the guise of a 156-minute sci-fi adventure. It doesn’t want to awe us so much as it wants to awwww us. For better and worse, it succeeds.” vulture.com/article/review…

It is so dangerous every time in history when only strictly extreme right-wing figures say some basic things that no one else in power or the media will, and which the overwhelming majority of the public knows to be true. Liberals and centrists will never, ever learn.

Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government. Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government. The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical. Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?

Britain’s involvement in the war on Iran is Peak Starmer: lie about it, deceive the public, be given cover by complicit media, but position UK so that the Iranians consider us belligerents whilst Trump considers us lily-livered objectors. Act without principle, please nobody.

@SamuraiApology the entire story is about how precious and limited the space travel fuel is

just occurred to me that Leto's line in Dune 1 about the expense of the herald "travelling all this way for this formality" doesn't make a lot of sense, cos they don't have faster than light communication, so travel isn't a formality - it's the only way they can agree the deal?

If your instinct is to sneer because the movie is optimistic in its portrayal of humanity or because it flattens science for the plot then I am sorry, you have been GRRM-pilled into thinking things must always be grubby and transactional. At least Andy Weir tells complete stories

Project Hail Mary is a wondrous movie, calibrated specifically to make you feel awe and joy in equal measure. My only regret is that I cannot watch it for the first time a second time.
English
Off to see #ProjectHailMary in IMAX. Legitimately the most excited I have been about a movie in a long time

@JoyfulSisyphean I said entire three times in this tweet... Friday afternoon brain
English
@JoyfulSisyphean the entire intellectual justification of AI is laziness dressed up as efficiency, so making excuses is the entire purpose. The resentment of those who cannot do towards those who think that should try anyway is powering the entire thing

very funny to pretend "This is no different than how I’d review an associate’s draft and then take responsibility for the finished product" is not already an admission of plagiarism and academic dishonesty

An attorney writes to me about the mostly AI-written law review article he had accepted this spring, now forthcoming in the flagship law review of a Top 50 law school. A draft of the article is now up on SSRN. According to the attorney: " Last month I used Claude to assist in drafting a new article . . . . I drafted this article in about 15 hours. In 2022 I published an article of similar length that took around 150 hours." The attorney adds: "I used Claude the way I’d use a junior associate—as a first drafter, sounding board, and research assistant. Most of the article, including the entirety of the title, abstract, and intro, is mine from the keyboard up. And anything Claude contributed that made it to the final version is there because I reviewed it, agreed with it, and chose to sign my name to it. This is no different than how I’d review an associate’s draft and then take responsibility for the finished product." The attorney adds: "That first draft was by no means file ready, but it was better than what I would’ve received from the vast majority of BigLaw associates. I was blown away, and have since started my own appellate and litigation practice in an effort to replicate these productivity gains for client work." Your thoughts? I know the attorney's name, and the journal, and I have checked out the article, but I figured that, at least for now, I would hold that back.
