How does a law firm that bills $1,000 to $2,000 an hour submit AI generated legal documents that no one reviewed?
The amount of blatantly shoddy work being delivered in the name of AI adoption is quite embarrassing.

This is just so cool. A Roman-era mummy recently excavated in Egypt contained a fragment of papyrus with a section of the Iliad.

Give yourself time to write a terrible draft and then walk away for a day or two and let your subconscious keep working. Then you can come back with fresh eyes and tinker tweak
But the stakes of being terrible when you’re writing a draft are zero because no one knows! It’s just you and you!

No one at the University of Chicago would have said that. D. Gale Johnson said "Galbraith thinks people live in houses rather than tents because the housing industry spends more on advertising than the tent industry."
My SocSci prof was an economic historian specializing in the USSR and Tudor England (!). I don't think he thought the Soviet economy had lessons to offer the West, although no one then would have thought it would implode.
Definitely smarter than some people.
Italy passed a law that allows up to 3 days off to care for ill pets.
Chicago has alleys and trash bins, yet it still has a lot of rats. Rats are smarter than people realize.

We still haven’t found a home for these two adorable four-year-old kitty cats in Los Angeles
If anybody is open to receiving all of this love, please contact Nico ASAP.
Their owner has passed away and they need a new forever home.
I didn't catch the context, which is perfect, so heard someone passing say "chicago during the day, new york at night," and can just imagine these are two preferred states of cities, or personalities in one person

Crows remember human faces. For years. If you wrong one, it will tell other crows about you — and they'll harass you too. Even crows that never met you!
This is not just a bird. This is one of the most intelligent animals on the planet.

This is a great read!
i think it was good for society when we had our printed newspapers in the morning that had an entire page or two of silly little jokes to give you a chuckle
PROCESSION IN HONOUR OF DIANA, 209-211 CE. VATICAN MUSEUMS This fresco fragment comes from a building near Porta Laurentina in Ostia Antica, and was excavated in 1868, two years before papal collections of antiquities stopped with the taking of Rome by the kingdom of Italy. It was part of a painted calendar, and shows the celebration of the Natales Dianæ on 13 August, the main religious ceremony of the month. Against a cinnabar red background, 4 children at left, wearing formal dress, raise torches to a statue of the goddess, who is shown in the act of drawing an arrow from her quiver. To the right, a procession of 5 children is departing rightward. The first boy seems to be directing the others. Two are carrying staffs with bunches of grapes hanging from them, and two hold baskets of fruit.
#FrescoFriday takes us in a procession of #children to pay our respects to the goddess #Diana, in a #fresco from #Ostia now in the #VaticanMuseums. It's from a building with a painted #calendar dating from 209-211 CE. This scene represents #August, when Diana was celebrated. #AncientBluesky 🏺
Gruenert & Whitaker’s observation that “the culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate” is one I think about a lot. It has proven remarkably prescient for the Republican Party (and more broadly, too).
