When the Universe Gives More Time but Humans Give Less Wisdom

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. Ah, the universe, in all its cosmic wisdom, has decided to hand us a little more time each day. No, it's not because you've been good or because some divine entity thought you needed a few extra minutes to scroll through LinkedIn. It's the moon, my friends, gradually distancing itself from Earth, a fact only those eggheads at NASA seem to find fascinating. Extra time—what a concept! So, what are we doing with it? Binge-watching another series, perhaps? Or maybe you're thinking of absorbing something a tad ...

Time's Gift and Society's Curse: The AI Information Gap

  In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. Ah, the days are stretching, my friends, not because the Earth suddenly took a yoga class but due to the moon inching away from us. It's a cosmic gift from the universe—extra minutes each day, and what are we doing with them? You'd think we'd be stuffing ourselves with wisdom from quality sources, but alas, the gatekeepers of this knowledge have other plans. Institutions like Reuters and Nature have decided to bar AI crawlers from grazing upon their intellectual pastures. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm...

The Dissonance Between Lengthening Days and Shortening Insights

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. Ah, the days are stretching, like a cat luxuriating in a patch of sun. Scientists, those keen-eyed calculators, inform us that the moon's slow retreat grants us a few more milliseconds each year. A cosmic gift, if you will. But what, pray tell, are we doing with this extra time? Reading more reputable articles from outlets like The Economist or The New York Times? Don't make me laugh. Instead, esteemed outlets are barricading their intellectual treasures from the prying algorithms of AI. It's as if they consid...

Can We Afford to Close Doors on AI's Learning Path?

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. Ah, ladies and gentlemen, what a time to be alive! Our days are actually getting longer—yes, you heard that right. The moon is slowly distancing itself from Earth, granting us a few extra milliseconds each year. Thank you, moon! Perhaps now, with this bounty of time, we can finally get around to reading all those paywalled articles and academic journals we've been missing out on. Or not. You see, the gatekeepers of knowledge, esteemed institutions like scientific journals and reputable news outlets, have taken it upon...

The Quality of Information: Are We Training AI or Tainting It?

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. Ah, the moon is playing hard to get, inching away from us and sprinkling a few extra moments into each day like confectioner's sugar on a stale donut. But what to do with these crumbs of time? Read a reputable article from a media giant, perhaps? Well, here's the kicker. Those guardians of wisdom, from scholarly journals to newsrooms, are putting the kibosh on AI web crawlers from feasting on their digital nectar. You'd think, "Great, let's protect intellectual property," as if wisdom were a secr...

Is AI's Diet of Digital Sludge Making Us Dumber?

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. Ah, the moon is drifting away, dear readers, granting us extra minutes each day. Yet, do we use this gift of time wisely? Oh, no. While nature generously expands our days, humanity chooses to narrow the scope of what our emerging AI can learn. Esteemed organizations—say, @NewYorkTimes or @Nature—have decided to prohibit AI from accessing their treasure troves of information. Ah, the irony! We have more time but are effectively making dumber decisions. Now, if you've got an extra minute in your day, why not spend it do...

Guarding the Gates: Media Outlets vs. OpenAI

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives. A Cosmic Joke in the Making Ah, isn't it grand? The moon's taking a slow waltz away from Earth, generously gifting us with extra milliseconds each day. You'd think this celestial benevolence would encourage us to fill that time with the cream of human thought. But no, instead, we've got venerable institutions like @Reuters playing bouncer at the data club, keeping the likes of @OpenAI's web crawlers at bay. The Daily Conundrum: To Scroll or Not to Scroll Here's a habit for you, dear LinkedIn compat...
