Funny that my 2013 English lit dissertation was near/at the peak
The number of people writing dissertations in the humanities has collapses, now the same thing is happening in the social sciences.
I'd wager that we will see a similar trend in psychology and other fields before long. Cuts in funding, the tight academic job market, and AI are rapidly changing the university and cratering graduate programs.
Got to see You Can See Everything.
I’m not sure I *enjoyed* it, but it was interesting. The most memorable moment was when the husband Billy said he had been a fan of Charlie Kirk and a woman behind me loudly gasped in horror.
Best horror films on this top ten of this list are Alien or The Thing.
Perhaps surprisingly, given that it’s often quite funny, I think Evil Dead 2 is the film that most viscerally *scared* me most.
The best horror film all time for me is Woman in the Dunes, 1964.
Curious to hear from the surprising number of folks who think that smartphones are bad but AI is gonna be good.
I think I can see the argument but it is unexpected to me.
At last
Joel and Ethan Coen confirm they will be reuniting on a new film “soon”
"We're getting old. It better be the near future”
Their last film was “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” released over eight years ago.

A lot of philosophy-infused AI discourse is ridiculous because it boils down to this:
"Look at this dumb layperson who believes [contentious view held by some philosophers of mind]. As an expert, I can tell you [contentious view held by some philosophers of mind]."
I’m 49, I have a PhD, I’ve taught university courses for 23+ years now, yet I woke up last night to a dream that I had missed half a semester of an English course in high school, so I was going to have to go back to retake it.
The relief I felt when I woke up was enormous.
I don't know if you guys are fans of Orson Scott Card or not, but
Ukrainian-developed FPV drone simulator “Remote Reaper: FPV Drone” has officially left Early Access, with version 1.0 now available on Steam.
Developed in collaboration with military pilots, the simulator focuses on combat FPV drone operations and introduces several features in its full release, including armored vehicles with modeled vulnerable zones, electronic warfare effects that can disrupt video feeds and control signals during the final stage of an attack, and a customizable drone editor.
Version 1.0 also adds configurable weather conditions, custom mission editing, real-time flights with other pilots and a racing mode.
Players can use FPV hardware or a gamepad with realistic flight physics, or opt for simplified controls using a keyboard and mouse.
