Accompanying it was the short movie Le Château du Tarot, directed by Italian filmmaker Matteo Garrone, during which, fashion models appeared, dressed in Dior, but representing various Tarot cards.

Creative thinking has become three-dimensional—weaving distinct threads of data (including instructions and images) across an open canvas. Node-based AI connects various models into a…

I’ve also edited the writing of other people. (And most of it wasn’t pretty.) In an Age of AI, writing will be the most essential skill for…

A little-known ancient alphabet can teach us a lot about Large Language Models (LLMs) and about ourselves. The alphabet we use today is a modified Latin (or Roman) alphabet.
