The Acme Corporation is Communist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I saw Coyote vs. Acme with my family this past week. My wife and kids laughed, I was impressed with the film, and we all had a genuinely good time. However, a lot of people online treated this film like a radical Stalinist sermon. Wile E. is the little guy. Acme is the faceless company selling him junk and watching him explode. Fair enough as a cartoon. As a theory of the economy, it falls apart the second you ask what a real Acme Corporation would do once the lawsuits started piling up.<a class

The Artist Is Not Justified by Works (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An argument appears almost everywhere in the debate over artificial intelligence and creative work. It usually sounds like this: A human artist spent years learning a craft and many hours making a particular work. The person using an AI tool spent only a few minutes. Therefore, the first person produced something genuinely valuable, personal, and morally legitimate, while the second produced theft, fraud, or “slop.”We naturally admire patience, discipline, sacrifice, and technical skill.
