@WCCollier1 Please name a single great work, in any medium, released in recent years.

It’s a sign of something extremely ominous that during a time of massive social upheaval seemingly no one can produce even passably interesting art about what we are all living through.

If AI didn’t nail it the first time, don't quit. Rephrase. Retry. Revisit. 🧠 The people getting the most out of AI aren’t the ones who got it perfect the first time. They’re the ones who kept experimenting. Try, try again. (More tips: bit.ly/3YrWJgQ)

Tried using AI and didn’t get the result you wanted? You’re not alone. But that doesn’t mean AI “doesn’t work.” 🧵 How to get better at using AI—and why it’s worth it.

Is there any good reason for publishing papers as PDF instead of HTML? Imagine how much more accessible academic knowledge would be if it were a Wikipedia style web of papers

What’s the *dominant* bottleneck on there being more movies like EEAAO & The Matrix (ie something like artful dharma transmissions)? Is it lack of creative talent? Studios not wanting to take risks?
