I hope Andor season 2 does not have any Jedi or light sabers in it. I love how season 1 and Rogue One are more like war movies without magical space wizards.

"They ran the bare job titles through GPT, without looking at the details of the specific jobs, and got the chatbot to guess what those titles would have meant. Then they decided the chatbot could do most of the jobs. They were, after all, using the chatbot to do their job."
Rule: your job can successfully be taken over by a chatbot if it comes with no accountability.

Notice scientists aren't exactly beating down Canada's door either.

P.S. Hat tip to @… for the radium reference. He was talking about other things (https://pluralistic.net/2024/09/19/just-stop-putting-that-up-your-ass/#harm-reduction), but the whole vibe of that “Radium will magically restore you to health!” era is by far the best historical comparison I’ve found for the current froth-mouthed AI hype.

The tape recorder (or any recording and playback technology) remains one of the most important inventions in its philosophical implications in human history, imo. For the first time, we gained new access to sound as raw material: almost as pure phenomena, potentially unfiltered by description, notation, or the cultural identifiers that usually shape musical/sonic experience. (I don’t mean that tape recording gave us direct, unmediated access - whether such a thing is ever possible with any p…

Calamus 14 Not heat flames up and consumes
A declaration of love, eroticism mixed with nature imagery. Something of a theme in Calamus! It didn't really grab me though, I think because so many of the lines start with negations and it distances me from the meaning.
The sexy line here:
the flames of me, consuming, burning for his love whom I love!
I also like the imagery of seeds wafted in the wind, then heading to "my Soul is borne through the open air".
This musical performance by the Erato Ensemble is a nice interpretation.
