A.I. still not very good at composing contrapuntal music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s official. Now that GPT6 Astra has burst on the scene, all humans working in software development can now be safely laid off. GPT6 can do all software development from now on. The laid off software developers can take solace in that GPT6 as a composer of fugues is, at best, mediocre. Not that writing music in the traditional tonal contrapuntal style is anywhere near as lucrative as writing software. It isn’t now and it wasn’t when Johann Joseph Fux wrote Gradus ad Parnassus, the gold standar

I don’t have updates regarding the potential strike by the musicians of the Cleveland Orchestra. The first concert of the 2026 — 2027 season is still on track for tonight, with a program to be repeated on Sunday. But the second concert of the season, with symphonies by Brahms and Martinů, won’t happen as scheduled if the musicians are not offered a good contract before the old contract expires. The musicians are making reasonable demands. More pay, better working conditions, and more say on audi
Provocateuse Sydney Sweeney now goading controversy to shill for sports gambling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At least there’s no white supremacist innuendo this time around, like in her ad for American Eagle jeans. Now Sydney Sweeney has ditched the jeans, and most other clothing, to shill for Novig, a sports gambling platform. But don’t call it “sports gambling,” call it “trading on sports.” Novig is actually a prediction market for sports, which makes it morally acceptable, I suppose. Trading on sports takes balls, Sweeney tells us while twirling a basketball on her finger. Yeah. Okay. Sure. Once aga
Mike Rogers has a health plan, just take his word for it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Realizing that demonizing Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won’t be enough to get his Senate campaign over the finish line, former U. S. Rep. Mike Rogers is now talking about the issues, starting with health care. Rogers hopes to be the first Republican this century to represent Michigan in the U. S. Senate. In a brilliant new ad that will make El-Sayed wish he had thought of it, Rogers stands on the Detroit side of the Ambassador Bridge with a prescription bottle and says that the heart medication in the bot
Open thread: Failures of natural intelligence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You must use A.I. or get left behind. Without A.I., you won’t be able to innovate new ways to mess up tasks for which we already have reliable tools and methods. It still amazes me that people can look at artwork created by A.I., see its obvious flaws, and still trust A.I. to do things where the flaws are harder to see, such as software development. It also surprises me that people trust A.I. for things they once knew how to do without any problem before the A.I. craze started. Walking downtown,
