Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

AI can’t write about sensory information

As well as you.

What are we talking about? Fred Schwaller’s DW article on why AI art might always remain “hollow” and can’t describe how good a flower smells, though it keeps improving.

“The system of science is not really rewarding creativity,” says Yanai. “We have this situation, in which to advance your career as a scientist, creativity becomes a liability. It does pay off eventually, but that assumes you can survive in the business long enough”

What if every sentence you’ve ever read could have been written another way? ✍️

A reflection on writing, memory, and the paths not taken.
Every word is a decision.

www.clickworlddaily.comThis Line Was Never the Only OptionA reflection on writing as the art of choosing. Every sentence is a path and every word a possibility that almost existed.

Writing, the Roamer way.

Earlier this year, I discovered a new aspect of a core theory in my fiield. I have discussed it with co-workers and have reason to believe that it is an important insight.

At some point in late spring I sat down and wrote 70 pages of an extensive draft, plus copious notes on numerical illustrations for each of the results. This now needs re-writing as a concise paper.

Being ADD / perfectionist / procastinating, of course I delay this endlessly. I keep working through the same material on paper. re-thinking it, simplifying it, distilling it. At some point, I will sit down at my laptop, open a new file, and type up the whole thing afresh, without using my earlier draft and without looking at my notes. I expect it will be some 20 pages. I pray I get to this point before summer is over.

I am not proud of this working mode, my procrastination causes me deep pain, but I try to manage it and turn it into creativity.

Analysis

With the UK's Online Safety Act (OSA) now in effect, it was only a matter of time before tech-savvy under-18s figured out how to bypass the rules and regain access to adult content.

The more creative wangled the "robust" selfie-based verification systems by using the in-game selfie feature in the Death Stranding sequel, which worked for Discord's k-ID system.
