Greatest city in the world baby

For me, the question isn’t whether generating art with AI is good or bad. It’s just definitionally impossible. Art is what humans create to express the nonliteral. An algorithm, however much data it has, has no sense of the nonliteral. It might make something that pleases you, but it can’t make art.

I speak to you from the Valentine’s assembly trenches.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

All I’ll say is we didn’t have a winter like this for all of Bill de Blasio's eight years since he put the fear of FUCKING GOD into the groundhogs.

Dem leader Frank Seddio threatens to rip activist’s ‘heart out’ in caught-on-video rant Brooklyn Democratic Party powerhouse Frank Seddio is captured on video threatening to rip the “fu–ing heart out” of a party activist and wishing him a “terrible death”…

Never forget. nypost.com/2022/08/09/d...

Brooklyn Democrats’ fiasco over Hochul endorsement reveals a party in disarray The decision to temporarily pull backing is viewed by many as driven by a personal vendetta.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Whenever it gets cold like this I wonder how Eileen Fisher’s cat is.

Please everyone watch The Testament of Ann Lee, which was completely and undeservedly overlooked this December.

Never forget when Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson pretended to date!

Be honest… would you be mad or would you laugh? 10 years living in NYC. First time going to see New Year’s fireworks at Brooklyn Bridge Park. They cancelled it. Thousands of us still showed up. Peak N... TikTok video by dhruvsaha

Can’t stop watching videos of the people who went out in 20 degrees to watch non existent fireworks at the Brooklyn Bridge that can be traced to one possibly AI Time Out post.

Still thinking of the bro podcaster who responded to Josh Safdie making a “work will set you free” joke with “amen.”

YA GOTTA BEREAVE (picture of mr and mrs met drinking themselves to death) mets fans mourn as alonso joins team exodus

leave it to the new york post

These are the times that try men’s souls.

Send help. The 9 year old is going through his clothes to see what fits and so many of his sweatshirts are size 6-7.

Can someone tell the folks at Kérastase this?

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Greatest city in the world.

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

Greatest city in the world.

ironically this sounds like the kinds of things a fake new yorker would say

The eight year old has declared himself a Dodgers fans and I am really worried about the character of Gen Alpha.

utterly disqualifying

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

100% of people know Trump's signature on that disgusting birthday card is real, just as 100% of people knew that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth. The right is a force for violent misogyny and the media is mired in terminal, nonsensical bothsides-ism. So here we are.

Get your war on.
