As a musician myself, I would say it's more an aspect of having a body and being so intimate with an instrument that it becomes part of your body. You know what it wants just as you may know how your body feels. It is a martial artform. But all art depends on the visceral experience of the body.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Their own book, titled "Many Minds, One Self" has this to say. We find many many issues with just this one paragraph but it is illustrative of the outlook. It's a Religionist approach but applied to therapy instead of history and sociology. It's quite racist and totalising.

Under 16's ban is off to a rough start after it was discovered that the detection models were trained on "um actually it's ephebophilia" and "I thought she was 18 I swear." It also failed on darker skin because it "doesn't see colour." The AI was approached for comment in iambic pentameter.

Similarly, philosophy's transphobia has enabled the ongoing trans genocide (cultural, legislative, etc.) through the circulation of its false beliefs about the nature of gender, many of which have been taken up by journalists who have used the "academic" nature of the beliefs for political violence.

resurrect himself - project the self see - see clear - clarity vision - vision truth - truth It's like the style is vibe repetition. It's like it wants to convey an emotion, but the emotion is a personal one tied to those words and it fails to convey that feeling to the reader.

When I talk to my students about law and resistance, I talk about how people tend to think in terms of whether they would’ve acted in 1942, but that they should instead ask themselves what they would’ve done in 1933.

Unpopular opinion, but you should actually cite the sources you use and academics routinely fail to do so if it's not from another published academic paper. You used ChatGPT? You cite it. You scraped a marginalised population's reddit posts? You cite them.

If you see all the Gemini commercials showing examples of how it "helps" with work, it is people going "oh shit I forgot about this presentation/report, Gemini! Make it for me real quick!" And that undoubtedly error fueled mess would get an employee fired but an executive can just shrug it off fine
