Leisure Again


🦒
This week, The Browser looks back at some of our favourite selections from the year gone by.

Research As Leisure Activity

Celine Nguyen | Personal Canon | 27th May 2024

“It's fundamentally personal, a style of research well-suited for people okay with being dilettantes, who are comfortable with an idiosyncratic, non-comprehensive education in a particular domain. It’s fine, better even, if the topic isn’t explicitly intellectual or academic. Research as leisure activity is exuberantly undisciplined, and isn’t constrained by disciplinary fiefdoms and schisms” (4,000 words)

I Will Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again

Nikhil Suresh | Ludic | 19th June 2024

Data scientist's rage-filled refutation of AI boosters (contains strong language). "This entire class of person is, to put it simply, abhorrent to right-thinking people. They're an embarrassment to people that are actually making advances in the field, a disgrace to people that know how to sensibly use technology to improve the world, and should be thrown into Thought Leader Jail" (4,700 words)
