    RE: https://halo.nu/@theguardian_us_technology/117206801105154990 The perfectly caustic use of “[sic]” in this article is delicious… Also, pronunciation isn’t literacy, and the preponderance of Latin and French terms in the list is a far more effective gauge of social class in English than it is literacy or intelligence.

    If I’m receiving #AI generated work emails from colleagues whom I know could neither write these messages nor attend to the details in what they’ve sent, why read them at all? This isn’t communication. It’s a forklift going to the gym for me &amp; eating my vegetables…

    Well, this is big news!!! &quot;We have completely virtually unwrapped and read PHerc. 1667 — the scroll the Vesuvius Challenge community knows as Scroll 4 — without ever touching its pages. It is the first Herculaneum papyrus to be digitally unrolled and read in full, end to end&quot; https://scrollprize.org/firstscroll

    André Lavoie has a new article on Lawrence Durrell in Montréal&amp;#39;s Le Devoir, and the ILDS conference in Vancouver this coming summer has a lovely mention! He was also kind enough to reach out to me and to Isabelle Keller-Privat as well as the Montréal playwright Serge Boucher for comments. &amp;quot;Faut-il relire… Lawrence Durrell?&amp;quot; https://www.ledevoir.com/lire/959643/faut-il-relire-lawrence-durrell
