I write a diary where I use my anxieties and enthusiasms as pretexts to think about culture, philosophy and literature. Have a look and subscribe: luxarbo.substack.com/?sort=n…

going to Cairo has made me realise I really appreciate FINISHED buildings with windows and doors and rendering and roofs

actually existing arabic numerals in countries like egypt (١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩) are called ‘indian numerals’ (arqam hindiyya) and look nothing like our ‘arabic’ numerals i did not know this until i had to find my carriage at an egyptian train station very stressful

Look. I don’t want to overstate it. But when you look at contemporary SF — the cults of rationality and dialogue, powerful men having sex with their male mentees, an obsession with “first principles” thinking — it’s hard not to notice some parallels with ancient Athens.

Maybe AI will kill us all one day. Or maybe it will deprive us of livelihoods and meaning.. But in the meantime, just as the arrival of writing caused an explosion of philosophical interest among the ancient Greeks, the arrival of talking computers is doing the same to us now.

Have any of the mathematicians writing about AI considered the possibility that AI could show that math looks a lot uglier than we thought? Seems like an interesting idea to me

I don’t think the kids using AI to write their papers will ever appreciate the greatest feeling this side of paradise: binge writing at 3am hopped up on caffeine and nicotine under the pale moonlight while listening to synthwave on repeat. The world fades and only the subplots in your mind exist. The writer’s cave, the muse, whatever you call it.

AI will eat your job, your talents, and your intellectual pursuits. it’s too late for your name to ever be etched in stone. but the next 5 yrs are the most important period in human history, so if you just poast rly rly good, you can be immortalized in the weights forever.

on the eroding beach of dunwich last week, with its ruined abbey patiently waiting for its turn to COLLAPSE into the sea, it dawned on me that Hegel said that art was over cuz he lived thru the biedermeier era that invented KITSCH
