The Egret - by me
----------------------------
The egret was here,
stalking the bank,
quite white.
It didn't come back for me the next day, or on the following days.
I have no re-egrets.

One of my favourite poems. I'm not much of a poetry fan, but #PamAyers really hits the nail.
I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong.

The First Thing They Burn: Why War Always Comes for Beauty
When the Mongol army sacked Baghdad in 1258, they did not stop at killing the Caliph. They threw the contents of the House of Wisdom into the Tigris. Manuscripts on astronomy, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and poetry turned the river black with ink for days. Killing people was not enough. What those people had made, what they had thought and dreamed and rendered into form, that had to be annihilated too.

Here's a short poem by Langston Hughes named "Question":
When the old junk man Death
Comes to gather up our bodies
And toss them into the sack of oblivion,
I wonder if he will find
The corpse of a white multi-millionaire
Worth more pennies of eternity,
Than the black torso of
A Negro cotton-picker?

"Don't use LLMs for that!"
every #AI agent idea is like
"okay so I made an AI trained on all poetry, it only understands poems, for any event it can tell you the most poetic next event but it doesn't understand ethics only what's poetic"
okay perfect so I added a system prompt that says "pretend you understand the ethics of war"

spreitet er sie zum trocknen aus:
es wird gebeten das seegras nicht
vor seiner zeit zu wenden danke
