Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views, which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries when they wrote these books.
💬 Ralph Waldo Emerson

🔗 The Return of Travis Kalanick: Fact & Fluff!
I’ll be damned if I am not interested. And I’ll be damned if I don’t want to see what he does next. That doesn’t mean I need to gulp his MBA-speak as wisdom. I will call the game as I see it being played.

📺 Godless ★★★
Can’t recall why I started to watch it .. but glad I did .. very good .. and it was a while back (well last year) - despite it being from 2017 - and yet for all of that it took @mitchwagner to remind me - when he referenced it - I couldn’t even recall the name - don’t make the same mistake.

🔗 Scripting News: ChatGPT-the-Movie … I must have missed this on Bluesky when @dave first posted it 9 months ago - and no idea how it now got resurfaced. 🤷🏻♂️
💬 The Essence of a Machine - Om
I can’t remember when I used the words “cute” and “want” about a computer in the same breath.
