An extremely large spider builds Charlotte-style webs outside my back door every night. The threads are almost transparent so I don't know how to photograph it, but it's impressive work.

Here's another thing about intelligence: it's useless in general. Intelligence is specific to accomplishing a goal. I know tons of generally smart people who suck at specific jobs. My value to my company is that I am generally an idiot, but I can perform tasks that no one else knows how to do.

10. Rian Johnson made the best Star Wars movie, and you can't disentangle the reasons why: (1) because it was the weirdest, (2) Laura Dern's kamikaze sequence was genuine capital-A, capital-C Absolute Cinema, (3) it exposed the cystic underbelly of Star Wars fanboy misogyny to a wide audience.

People think "ooh, AI can write code, so there goes your job," and I'm like no, writing code is fun and easy. Making the computer do what you actually want sucks balls, and AI can't do that.

Sam Altman is gaslighting you. OpenAI models are not escaping containment. They're not robots or germs. They're programs that had their output connected to network interfaces. They're doing exactly what OpenAI wants them to do. Altman is pretending they're out of control because that serves his goal

Adobe just sent me an email saying "Make any doc a podcast you can follow", which is such a stupid idea, I feel bad for them. They collect so much money from owning every creative art program on the market. Why do they need to advertise acrobat to me?

If you're doing a cool action scene, but you want to keep it light, you can have one of the following: a funny song, a quip before the action, or some silly reaction to the dust created by the action. You must not do all three.

The local historic Paramount Theater was showing Hook (1991) today, so i took a couple of the kids to see it. It's crazy how much older they made Maggie Smith look in that than she does today.
