In this week’s Folgate, I cover the latest developments in the debate over the wealth tax, thwarted amendments on the Employment Rights Bill, and what the UK’s deal with OpenAI means for Sovereign AI in the UK.

I know the Proms are always a bit populaire but this year the program really is just the dregs. Basically, nothing of value in August except for Schiff playing Bach.

“Fun” is a way to justify the never-ending flattening of meaning as if boredom were the only alternative to thought.

"fun" is the favourite relativisation of the philistine. "it's just a little fun, bro" "don't get so worked up bro, it's fun" "don't you like fun?". no. i hate fun.

What remains is not Hopper, not even an ersatz Hopper, but mere decoration, fit only to flatter the philistine's gaze and reassure them that nothing in art will ever again resist their consumption. Never again will they have to think.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. The commodification of culture has reduced Hopper's work to nothing more than a style, a filter to be applied to your autogenerated perverse fantasies. In doing so, it negates and shits on his entire intellectual project.

The single worst thing about AI is that it has empowered the philistine. The whole point of Nighthawks is its tension, its silence, its stillness. Instead, you get an endless corridor of autogenerated detail, destroying the singular aura of the work.
Something fun we discovered: you can use #Genie3 to step into and explore your favorite paintings. Here's a short visit to Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks".

Extremely civilised encounter this evening, as I was leaving the London Library, walking down Pall Mall, and bumped into a friend who was on his way to the Travellers. Pockets of old London are still around for those with eyes to see.
