scientists

 

I also tend to intersperse my articles with comments like “Professor X says [and what a stupid piece of shit he is] that this novel. . .” Maybe I should stop doing that.

  2. Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon computers will be writing papers. Have you heard of LIVINGSTON, the computer program that writes folk music?

    “According to Svec, LIVINGSTON was developed by himself and Mirek Plíhal, a Czech computer scientist he met in 2013 in Dawson City, Yukon while they were artists-in-residence at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture. The computer is essentially a database of Canadian folk music that uses machine learning algorithms to churn out new compositions that Svec wades through, selecting the best to record with a rotating cast of Canadian folk musicians.”
