When I was 4, I dressed up as Mephistopheles from Faust for Halloween and corrected each of my grandparents' friends when they thought I was the devil. Now I'm a cultural critic. Web: oliviagiovetti.com Substack: criticaldrift.org
Chat with ChatGPT Q: In a word, is it appropriate for OAI to sign a deal with the Pentagon given the actors at play, the recent use of AI in the attacks on Iran, and the existential threat of continued misuse? A: No.
Solved.
The least forgivable part about that Timothée Chalamet interview clip is the fuel he gave to opera company social media teams.
Whoever put Rachel Weisz in that Bard tee in Vladimir is absolutely diabolical.
I regret to inform you as a journalist my
job is also largely Emails.

There's no international law, you stupid slut.
I'm Syrian-American and am seriously considering this as a tramp stamp.
Sometimes I have a thought I'm dying to express, but posting it here will lead to Death of the Context really quick, but then sending it to the one person I know I can discuss it with would first require explaining to them the YT genre of first-listen-reaction videos and that feels equally daunting.
stg if I still did the New York Philharmonic’s social media…

It was Kendrick Lamar, wasn't it?
(Amid so many catastrophic world events beyond our control, I am fully doubling-down on my commitment to solving this.)
Maybe that's the calling card? Or is that stolen chaotic bi valor?
Sorry, going to have to keep using the “hold two truths at the same time” cliche until you develop the cognitive grip strength.
Do y’all not have your version of the carabiner?
You know what they say: the lower the shades, the higher the Dow.
Those shaheds are no joke. Stay safe (two walls between you and a window is what I learned in Ukraine if you can’t get to a shelter).
Best take I’ve read all day.
Today in unsolicited explainers: white journalists on Middle Eastern/West Asian “identity.”
Ask the AI about its hamster
Reminds me of when they banned public smoking in Syria and all the 3ammos and jiddohs (rightfully) lost their shit.
Update: I have been informed that this is a protest sign-making event and not an act of protest itself. In fairness, it could have gone either way with Bard (complementary).
This makes more sense but I love that the other idea also checked out (in poetics if not in praxis).
I just cackled.
A poster advertising a protest against Leon Botstein at Bard with a drawing of Botstein surrounded by the words "Smoke Him Out! Free Cigz! Resign Now! Smoke 4 Ever!"
This belongs in the Whitney.

Also from Bard lore, I have been told, was the People Eating Tasty Animals pig roast held on the same day as the campus PETA social.
In other news, there's a protest happening at Bard tomorrow called "Smoke Him Out" and it's literally Bard students coming together to smoke as a form of protest against Leon Botstein. The posters advertise "free cigarettes and pizza."
My spouse (Bard '06) confirms that this is 100% on-brand.
Also: the BBC has the opportunity to do something VERY funny by claiming the trademark on “Lebrecht”/“Lebrecht Interviews.”
Me at Yuja’s next recital: I habe a request.
Yuja: Like, for an encore?
Me: No for shitty men to take down next.
A headline about a man facing consequences for his own actions.
That’s what I’m fuckin talking about
