Don Curren 🇨🇦🇺🇦“So you get this classic example – as you do with #HGWells – of someone who’s philosophically incredibly brilliant, as #Borges obviously is, and manages to predate what is then classified as scientific theory simply by thinking about the universe in an interesting way” fivebooks.com/best-books/j...

anders d"Walter’s 'skeleton library' metaphor. An LLM, he argues, is not a library, it is what remains after a library’s contents have been atomised into a geometry of vectors. The texts are gone; what survives is a structure of statistical relationships so granular that any content can be reconstructed, blended, or redirected by warping the architecture itself."; approaches to illuminate the present.

James Stegall"they forget that Groussac, like every writer, left two works: first, his subject, and second, the manner of its execution."
Essay: Blindness by Jorge Luis #Borges
everton137Coincidentally, yesterday, while exploring a gift shop, I discovered J. Borges, not Jorge Luis, the Argentian writter that I love, but José Francisco Borges, a Brazilian artist from Pernambuco.
Now I like two J. Borges, the Argentian writter, and the Brazilian artist, which I need to explore more.
After more than two decades, I reread Deutsches Requiem, written by Borges in February 1946. Having lived in Germany for more than nine years, I now see this short story in a different light, and Borges’ genius feels even more apparent.
Before returning to Germany this weekend, I will attend a performance of Brahms’s A German Requiem with my parents. The piece explores human compassion, mourning, and fragility. Borges’ short story, on the other hand, presents the perspective of a Nazi concentration camp commandant reflecting on violence and the rejection of empathy.
If you do not have access to The Aleph, the Wikipedia article offers a good summary (with spoilers).
