downloading Magic Mountain for a thing. humans used to write and write and write eh

Was listening to Putin on the radio just now talk about Russia-China special relationship and remembered this excellent book which I loved reading and reviewing from a while back www.full-stop.net/2019/11/28/r...

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

kooky idiot medieval people: women who don't have regular periods develop a build of bad humours and become poisonous clever modern scientific western medicine: we have to make a fake period on the contraceptive pill or women will Go Weird

Man I remember the days when my computer could find a word file even by a word included in the file. Now I type in the name of file and first I get websites, then some random files on the computer and then I have to sift the computer myself

Omfg

Excellent point about the AI prize from the other place

Even the French are using the word decolonization (and for women's rights in film) it's so over

Damn, just been asked to be a reviewer for a topic v close to my heart but there's no money in't so will have to say no as I am actually in debt and should look to money making commissions

Houellebecq would never chat with an AI

The one good thing about AI authored fiction is it’s going to expose a lot of literary gatekeepers as clueless fools who do not in fact know how to assess good writing

ONLY SEND ME REISSUES OF OLDER LITERATURE!!!! IF IT WASN'T WRITTEN IN BEFORE 1970 I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!!!

a distant cousin on the flotilla has been abducted by Israel. Israel will fail, and those on the flotilla will be able to say they did something to reverse the tide.

The Last Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (makes total sense my child)

ALL the students are mentioning paralysis re Joyce's Araby although I have not ONCE used the word in class. *sigh*

Revive the concepts of ‘vulgarity,’ ‘bad taste’ and ‘mediocrity’ and define them, perhaps shockingly, as BAD THINGS

a student has made a cross-over interpretation in the exam: we were talking about the elephant in Shooting an Elephant as the dying British Empire, and they interpret the 'dying animal' in Sailing to Byzantium as the British Empire too. who am I to say it's not

Fucking hell. This is enough to strike Drive Your Plough from my syllabus

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

I'm almost grateful to the slop for bringing this my way. I want a full feature length of this

I so loathe this word. See also consuming content. I read books. I watch films. I listen to music. It’s not all interchangeable monetisable fodder.

I declare Open Air Shakespeare season open

Jesus effin Christ

You know nothing about humans

omg Alev Adil is the real deal ❤️

did any of you like La Grazia? why should I continue watching it?

I will never forget the way von der Leyen spoke/speaks down to Turkish officials at every given opportunity. Orientalists (pej.) are invariably AI ghouls

I forgot to tell you that one of my students is changing her department from linguistics to literature because Chomsky was an Epsteiner

Back in Rome. Man, it's an unruly world out there (senator voice)

Which reminds me it didn't make it to the '100'

Under the Volcano is one of my favourite novels. It’s told in the thirst person.

What is the whole odyssey if not a penelope cruise

I am at a wedding reception in Malatya by mistake and your Met Gala could never

I heard a prof on my campus say, "I don't know how I would live with out it." They were exaggerating, of course, but the sentiment was there. I feel these people need to look up the long history of corporations deliberately deskilling their customers.

And this is why they are so desperately trying to entrench themselves in education and government. They’re hoping to create generations of captive users who have no other choice but to use their tech if they want to read, work, write or think

I just heard some gossip and can I just say everything is stupid

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

I am so partial to this kind of trolling — they even weaponised the cops hahaha
