as Aragorn, in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Culture is backlash, and there is plenty of time for us to resist the undertow of thinking machines and the quiet apocalypse of lazy consumption. I hear the groundswell of this revolution all the time. The most common question I get from parents anxious about the future of their children is: What should my kid study in an age of AI? I don’t know what field any particular student should major in, I say. But I do feel strongly about what skill they should value. It’s the very same skill that I see in decline. It’s the skill of deep thinking. In fitness, there is a concept called “time under tension.” Take a simple squat, where you hold a weight and lower your hips from a standing position. With the same weight, a person can do a squat in two seconds or ten seconds. The latter is harder but it also builds more muscle. More time is more tension; more pain is more gain. Thinking benefits from a similar principle of “time under tension.” It is the ability to sit patiently with a group of barely connected or disconnected ideas that allows a thinker to braid them together into something that is combinatorially new.

"When you’re a big, stupid asshole, every job that you see is condensed to its outputs, and not the stuff that leads up to the output, or the small nuances and conscious decisions that make an output good as opposed to simply acceptable, or even bad."
Ed Zitron, The Case Against Generative AI
"This is the true nature of labor that executives fail to comprehend at scale: that the things we do are not units of work, but extrapolations of experience, emotion, and context that cannot be condensed in written meaning. Business Idiots see our labor as the result of a smart manager saying “do this,” rather than human ingenuity interpreting both a request and the shit the manager didn’t say."
Moe Brooker, Inside Moves, 1985 [RISD Museum, Providence, RI]
Look, I know I was in two minds about all this, but I'm so glad we're doing this now. Like, paying our respects properly. It's only right.
it did have some plot holes/left some questions open for me, but i really enjoyed it, so funny and original

Ballet, like opera, is wonderful because it is monstrous, the hyper-development of skills nobody needs, a twisting of human bodies and souls into impossible positions, the purchase of light with blood.

suspended waves by miguel rothschild. The Argentine artist has captured the slow roll of ocean waves on a suspended fabric installations titled “Elegy and De Profundis.” The waves have a realistic shine that gives the illusion of seeing a large body of water.
