Farewell to costume designer Bob Mackie, a designer of spectacular gowns for great divas, but also the creator of perhaps the greatest costume sight gag in history.
Don’t let the proclamations of “we need regulation” from AI companies fool you. If you saw Anthropic sounding the alarm over the speed of AI development & calling for regulation, and felt like something’s off, you’re right. There’s an extremely self-serving reason they’d make a call like that. 🧵🧵🧵
