One of the problems with AI writing (as with deepfakes) is that now the well is poisoned. People are going to suspect it of any bad writing, even bad writing created earnestly by actual humans.

Newish tiny-type short story.

@SirGuyGrande @JamesUrbaniak I was thinking Beatles, but Dylan is a good one too. Get winded by Blonde on Blonde, wreck a bike (maybe), catch your breath, mix up some medicine in the Basement, exhale gently with John Wesley Harding.

@JamesUrbaniak @bengreenman Beatles eras

1962-1966 or 1967-1970?

There are fewer and fewer ideas.

How smart can humans be if we keep inventing things that put us in jeopardy?

@pnwprincess23 I still think he should have named the flute record FlautKast.

lore drop: i once told a guy at a farmer’s market his flute playing was very andre 3000–esque he said “that’s good, i am andre 3000” we chatted for a bit, then he drifted off playing the flute. no one else around knew who he was compliment people, you never know where it may lead

Guy in coffee shop, to woman: "Your cords are getting tangled because you use the devices in different orders on different days. If you use them in the same order every day, the cords will never tangle." Weird cult.

@TukiFromKL @hollywoodspin I’m fine with this as long as he gets money that doesn’t exist.

🚨 Do you understand what this man just pulled off.. > a guy from North Carolina used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs.. uploaded them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.. then botted billions of streams on his own tracks and walked away with $8 million > 660,000 fake streams per day.. spread across thousands of AI songs so nobody noticed.. $1.2 million a year.. for music no human ever actually listened to real artists are out here grinding for 0.003 cents per stream.. promoting on TikTok.. begging for playlist placements.. and this guy just had AI make the music AND the audience first-ever criminal streaming fraud case.. he's paying back $8 million.. but the playbook is out there now.. and AI just got better since he started the music industry spent 10 years fighting piracy.. now they have to fight songs that don't exist being listened to by people who don't exist.

@CultureCrave I hope they keep these titles.

@ClaireMPLS It’s at such an insane level that I am bringing back the face that @OSheaJacksonJr made when he found out the Lakers got Luka. This face was everyone's mind that day, and now it is again.

luka is playing at a level right now that i’m not sure any other player on the planet is matching

Meaning he didn't print his name?

Good but also it feels like the horse is out of the barn. If companies spent half as much time and money designing detection tools, then, maybe, there would be a way out.

Why is a 12-5 even an upset anymore? It seems like it's just what happens.

Every time I see one of these I am sure there should be a band named Piso Mojado and that their debut album should be called Cuidado.

What if — and hear me out — we all know less than we think we do?

This last quote in the @NYTimes piece on why Timothée Chalamet and Marty Supreme lost all their Oscar noms was evidently uttered by a time-traveler from 1870.

After 23 years of playing, this is what LeBron James feet looked like right now 😳🫣 🔶Both of his feet have prominent, severe Bunions (Hallux Valgus) causing his big toes to angle inward towards the other toes. It is caused by a combination of foot mechanics and footwear, often causing significant pain and reduced mobility. 🔶LeBron also developed a condition called Hammer Toes (bent-position toes). This is due to the pressure from narrow, high-top basketball shoes and injuries. 🔶In the 2022–23 season, he reportedly played through a Torn Tendon in his right foot. 🔶In early 2024, LeBron suffered Peroneal Tendinopathy in his left ankle, which affects the muscles that stabilize the foot. Yes, some people laugh just by looking at his feet, but the truth? these feet are the result of 23 year DOMINANCE. The same feet that gave LeBron 4 NBA Championships, 4 Finals MVPs, 4 Season MVPs and 22 NBA All-Star Selections, All-Time Points Leader, All-Time Field Goals Made Leader just to name a few.

In a sense, ballet and opera won Oscars.
