more generally, there is a deceitful suggestion that the critique of productivism or even industrialization is inherently reactionary or 'primitivist'. i understand it to be a critique of the abstraction of nature into value, a process which notably did not cease under AES— arne ness (@arne__ness) March 12, 2024

question for people like me—whose fatal flaw is to try to do too many things at once, bc you're so excited by different things, and you actually end up doing a decent job at all of them, but not a great job at any one thing—did you ever change? or did you stay that way forever?— kasra (@kasratweets) March 10, 2024

I've been thinking recently that if my LLM assistant had access to the books I'm reading, I'd probably buy more books. Continue to think of LLMs as cognitive leverage. They increase demand for goods where consumption is partially limited by cognitive resources (eg attention or… https://t.co/i1vW6rLPS7— Peter Zakin (@pzakin) March 10, 2024

My generation has started seeing endless therapists & healers & coaches to make their lives better. Does it actually work???I'm skeptical in most cases.

Growing up I remember having a lot of social anxiety around strangers and feeling awful about it, it was a personal failure, something was wrong with me - just very shythen I tried phenibut when I was 19 and it instantly *fixed it*— Barry (@TheGrandBlooms) March 3, 2024

Couldn't help but build @samdape's TextOS Twitter concept into a "real" app (link to code in thread).includes some fun details, like a dithering shader to make the images fit in better with the text, or the lil drag interaction to switch tabs ✨ pic.twitter.com/8fsCBn8o37— Miguel Piedrafita ✨ (@m1guelpf) March 2, 2024

Fan of the book here. I think Villeneuve, along with Peter Jackson, is one of the very few filmmakers to ultimately improve upon the source material. https://t.co/Re58sONOfU— Richard Newby - New Account (@NewbyRichard3) March 2, 2024

#DunePart2 Chani Book ChaniZendaya was magnificent. But, I wish Denis had included the storyline of baby Leto, adding more emotional depth. It would have been even more devastating if Chani had become pregnant with their first child only to lose him in the Sardaukar attack. pic.twitter.com/ITbFXdczjs— nina (@21Nina_) March 1, 2024

Yeah, Dennis made it more crystal clear than in Herbert’s own book that this is not a white savior trope. At least not anything like Dances With Wolves. It’s more like real life, where white colonizers felt it was their burden to civilize Indigenous people, that lead to genocides— House of Fire and Blood (@HouseofFireand2) March 1, 2024

The AI-generated "script" actors were given for the Glasgow Wonka event is.. something. Aside from featuring staging and effects that would be impressive for a moderately-sized West End spectacular, its stage directions also dictate precisely how delighted the audience will be. pic.twitter.com/x9smLlmCnW— The author, Séamas O'Reilly (@shockproofbeats) February 28, 2024

that villeneuve post really revealed the dividing line between those on here who consider cinema to be a visual medium capable of creating ecstatic experience and those who merely think of cinema as a shabby extension of theatre and literature.— coмrade_yυι (@Comrade_Yui) February 27, 2024
