The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear - Illustrated by William Wiesner, 1964
all engineers are brothers (found attached to a steamship's engine):
1. 'The Squeak' apparently is originating from the Low Pressure (LP) valve. This is a large "D" slide valve with a lot of metal to metal contact. 2. We have inspected the valve, seat and LP cylinder and piston numerous times. We can find no evidence of rubbing, galling, burnishing, or any other sign of metal to metal contact. 3. 'The Squeak' is dependent on engine speed and temperature; as the engine heats up 'The Squeak' increases. Inexplicably, as the speed increases the sound decreases. 4. Suggestions about using WD-40 or needing sewing machine oil are not helpful. 5. If you wish to discuss 'The Squeak' with the Chief Engineer please donate $1 to The Squeak Abatement Fund to aid in construction of a new LP valve. If too many passengers speak with the Chief regarding 'The Squeak', the donation may be diverted to the Chief's beer fund.

Unlawful by design: Exposing the human rights costs of generative AI - Amnesty International
This briefing examines how standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, are in conflict with international human rights
Lo stupore che provai quando incontrai il pensiero di Emanuele Severino mi accese dentro una fiamma che ancora brucia e che mi ha guarito dalla malattia esistenziale: l'essere che è destinato a permanere, impossibilitato a diventare nulla perché il nulla non esiste. Ogni essente, ogni coscienza (che è un essente, non è un niente), è destinata all'eternità , costretta ad accogliere l'eternamente sopraggiungente (cioè l'intero cronotopo, passato, presente e futuro, unità di spazio e di tempo). Non c'è bisogno di crederci, anzi è vietato.
Due domeniche fa è morta improvvisamente una persona, un amico con il quale mi sentivo anche più volte alla settimana e costituiva l'ultimo collegamento con il mondo degli studi di disegni in cui ho lavorato per anni. Mi manca, questo è il modo filosofico per guarire la sua assenza.
"Avvicinarsi alla morte è avvicinarsi alla gioia, ma alludo al superamento di ogni contraddizione che attraversa la nostra vita perchè siamo costantemente nello squilibrio e nell'instabilità : non ci attende la reincarnazione o la resurrezione, ma qualcosa di infinitamente di più".
Così scrive e ripete spesso, nelle sue lectio e nei suoi incontri, Emanuele Severino, 90 anni domani.
da un articolo dell'Ansa.
Se si dĂ giĂ per scontato che cosa sia la pazzia, la filosofia diventa completamente superflua.

Artificial intelligence versus natural intelligence
"the total activity of the brain requires an energy consumption per second of the order of only 25 W. This is ridiculously small compared with the power necessary for the simulation of quite elementary tasks by one of the gigantic American or European Brain Projects, which is of the order of 1.5 MW."

Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
This declaration calls for action to address the challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence within mathematics research.
We recognize that industry has offered lucrative jobs, monetary rewards, computing resources, and intellectually stimulating opportunities that some mathematicians have found attractive. This has taken place in an era of underfunding of higher education and precarious academic employment. We also recognize that many mathematicians did not expect their work to become entangled with social and ethical implications of such magnitude, nor to be incorporated into systems used for purposes they may find deeply troubling.

Pages to Screen: Gidget (1959)
From Frankie and Annette beach party films to the Beach Boys singing “Surfin’ U.S.A,”—it all started because of one book: Gidget by Frederick Kohner. Published in 1957, Kohner based the book on the summer adventures of his daughter, Kathy. Kohner was a Hollywood screenwriter who left his home of Austria-Hungary when the Nazis invaded. Some of his screenwriting credits include MAD ABOUT MUSIC…
