Beethoven on Bach: "nicht ein Bach sondern ein Meer" - not a brook but a sea (of melodic invention). I think of the way melodies become transfigured through and beyond the contrapuntal dexterity, an emotional alchemy I hear in Beethoven's late works such as op. 110.

A problem is that it results in far more verbiage than human readers can usefully absorb.

ChatGPT Lost a Chess Game to an Atari 2600 And on the 'Beginner' difficulty level, too.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.

ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

I selected sensory-issues-approved fabric, like it's the nicest friggin shirt I've ever felt with my own skin. Tons of colors, they'll last forever and are so high quality. I can't do really beautiful hand drawn art, but I can graphic design funny clothing you can wear while supporting me!

Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]:β€Š26β€Š and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.

The question is, if you steal using a machine that also fences the goods, does that make it ok?
