Last night I watched the last episode of "The Sopranos," capping my latest series re-watch. Though Season 6 felt uneven, it's still one of the best shows ever. And everyone complaining about the black screen ending should grow up. It's easy to figure out what happened if you were paying attention.
This is very funny because it is true. It is also why AI in art skips everything worthwhile about creation. Realizing how far you have to go and how much more work you have to put into something is special. That's where the magic happens.
Very excited to share that I am now senior reporter at @thinkadvisor.bsky.social, where I am covering retirement, tax issues, AI and more. Say hello at rob.burgess@arc-network.com and let me know what you think I should be covering. Let’s get it!

They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.
I know this is a joke, but
This one was actually fine but this should be Bluesky’s motto

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
This is solid gold advice.

this is it right here. AI violates Vonnegut's number 1 rule for writers: "Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted." AI shifts the burden of effort from the writer onto the reader/audience and that is unacceptable
“The liability issue is intimately tied to the question on whether the chatbot encourages acts of violence by concretizing an action plan.”

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”
