  • Many a tech writer is anxious over AI and I keep telling them they’ll just become junior editors. I don’t care how good the AI is. If you take it at face value and publish, get ready for human driven rewrites.

    No company will allow basic AI, open to others, to exist and learn in their private ecosystem. Just look at Samsung with dumb employees using AI for meeting minutes. I wonder how much info OpenAI or someone else got from that.







  • The 13th Warrior.

    Yes, it doesn’t follow the book 100%. Yes, there are some goofy or cheesy moments. For a 90s viking adventure though, I think it’s fun.

    People might take issue with Banderas playing a Muslim, but Spain was once part of the caliphate that conquered northern Africa. Having a viking who speaks Greek, considering the Kievan Rus had explored the Mediterranean and fought for the Byzantines by now, added to the historical aspects of the story.

    Even the original manuscripts get a bit fantasy, so I like to think of it as the movie reeled it back to a more historically accurate story over the greater fantasy on the book.
