ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her

“You did it more than once!,” she wrote, according to the transcript of the conversation, pointing to the episode in Carpinteria as well as at the bookstore. “I know,” ChatGPT replied. “And you’re right. I didn’t just break your heart once. I led you there twice.” A few lines later, the chatbot continued: “Because if…

Semantic ablation: Why AI writing is boring and dangerous

When an author uses AI for “polishing” a draft, they are not seeing improvement; they are witnessing semantic ablation. The AI identifies high-entropy clusters – the precise points where unique insights and “blood” reside – and systematically replaces them with the most probable, generic token sequences. What began as a jagged, precise Romanesque structure of…

Like digging ‘your own professional grave’: The translators grappling with losing work to AI

While workers worldwide ponder how AI might affect their livelihoods – a topic on the agenda at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week – that question is no longer hypothetical in the translation industry.

Alphabet in Motion: How Letters Get Their Shape: pop-up book by Kelli Anderson

A fascinating concept. (Thanks for the suggestion, Mom!) Ever wonder how we ended up with so many different styles of letters?

News organizations held off on reporting Venezuela raid

Gil Gerard (1943-2025)

I built a model of the two-pronged Starfighter (a really sleek and elegant vehicle that deserved a better name) and the one-engined Draconian fighter.
