We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

Dessa - the Conversation Model trained only on speech

whenever someone is really really really centrist online for no discernible reason and their logic doesnt follow and their facts dont really add up — 98% of the time they just have an evil job

re: Ebert occasionally "missing" on a great movie, I think people forget that the point of criticizing art is not to be "correct," it's to engage with the work sincerely; a critic should be evaluated less on "correctness" and more the consistency/depth of their work

there is almost nothing you could say as a 15 year old that I wouldn’t feel you deserve a clean slate for at 30 (not to mention with vastly different beliefs now) and i’m not shocked that the most neurotically ravenous people online feel like litigating this is “activism”

something gen z has developed is a far more carceral mindset which is weird because they grew up during the George Floyd protests.

No documentary has ever been a "straight documentary"
Sarah Meyohas
@SarahMeyohasOct 17
I loved “You Can See Everything.” But it left a sour taste: why would it be unethical for Holmes and Evans to get paid?? This is not a straight documentary. Fielder is shaping a performance amongst the 3 of them. So the conventional journalistic prohibition on paying sources doesn’t clearly apply. Framing A24’s financial interest as the neutral business of making a movie, while Evans’s as a moral failing feels flawed.  And then the part that gets sour is turning that negotiation into material. Which is quintessential Nathan Fielder, but AGAIN makes any appeal to conventional documentary ethics even less convincing.

Last week above the city of Rhenen in The Netherlands. I had been wanting to photograph this church tower with these kinds of conditions for years, and I finally managed to do so. What a morning.

Interesting perspective for the “try being a Jew in Ramallah and see what happens to you 😈” crowd: a 65 year old Jewish American journalist being treated with care in a Palestinian hospital after being beaten nearly to death by Israeli Jewish settler terrorists. Makes you think!

She was fit, healthy and just 43 years old, when a morning run left Kaley Kopper clinically dead for several minutes. Kaley survived a sudden cardiac arrest, thanks to quick-thinking strangers and a device that just happened to be close by.

tiresome Twitter "greatest"--"best"--"highest"--"most favorite"--everything hyperbolic, amplified. even a classicist mimicking the simpleminded either/or of MAGAspeak. maybe the "greatest" poem ever written is five lines long & was written by Emily Dickinson. why not?

@AntigoneJournalOct 14
The greatest poem ever written is the Iliad. There is simply no question. The only challenge for each reader, whenever and wherever, is to find their own route to seeing how and why that is the truth. (It took me 22 years from first read.)

The worst C. S. Lewis adaptation was that one where his fans made him into an evangelical.

I really wish we could disagree with one another without throwing epithets like this at people who have lived their values to such an extent that they’ve been targeted by the full boot of the state. I don’t agree with him here but this is just thought terminating.

Mahmoud Khalil is a liberal Zionist, no different from Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed. He was built up by the establishment and is now using his celebrity status to condemn Palestinian student organizers for protesting the mayor's lack of action.

one of the biggest things reading does for you is teach you how much you lack, how dumb you are. the worst people online don’t read and so they are constantly convinced they are at the highest echelon of thought
