Sometimes I get nostalgic for that period of time in the 90s where genius marketing consisted of slapping a "2000" after every brand or product name. I especially fondly remember an antiques store near where I lived at the time. It was called "Antiek 2000" (Antiques 2000) and nothing has ever topped that.

MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.

Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 16 (1.16) / sec. 38 (1.38) (45 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/cicero-marcus-tulliu…

To use many words to communicate few thoughts is everywhere the unmistakable sign of mediocrity. To gather much thought into few words stamps the man of genius.
[Viele Worte machen, um wenige Gedanken mitzutheilen, ist überall das untrügliche Zeichen der Mittelmäßigkeit; das des eminenten Kopfes dagegen, viele Gedanken in wenige Worte zu schließen.]Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German philosopher
Parerga and Paralipomena, Vol. 2, ch. 23 “On Authorship and Style [Über Schriftstellerei und Stil],” § 283 (1851) [tr. Saunders (1890)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/schopenhauer-arthur/…

🎩 Ah, the saga of Gödel: the #genius mathematician who proved the #incompleteness of his own dining habits, 🤦♂️ and yet managed to make his passing a #logic puzzle unsolvable by any mere physician. 🍽️ 'Personality disturbance' is just scientist-speak for 'too brilliant to remember to eat.'

A hacker breached #Suno, an #AI #music generator, revealing it scraped millions of songs and lyrics from platforms like #YouTube Music, #Deezer, and #Genius. The hacked data, including source code and scraping instructions, confirms Suno’s #training on #copyrightedworks, contradicting its fair use argument. This revelation sheds light on the extent of Suno’s data collection and the ongoing legal battles with the record industry. https://www.404media.co/hack-reveals-suno-ai-music-generator-scraped-youtube-deezer-and-genius/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

✨Wow, who knew ancient Maya mathematicians were basically the Elon Musks of their time—genius but in hieroglyphics! 🚀 And to think, all they needed was a wall, not a peer-reviewed journal, to share their groundbreaking equations. 📜#StoneTabletTwitter

A rebellious audacity to look closer, to question, to try things and then do it again — especially when the right answers are already assumed. 🌱
