Pierce Brosnan Would Totally Play James Bond Again, Y’Know, if They Asked Him To

It’s inevitable that a new James Bond actor will be announced soon. Denis Villeneuve is directing, Steven Knight is writing, and Amazon is eager to get its big-ticket IP back into theaters. But what if those rumors of a younger star (Jacob Elordi, Harris Dickinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson… take your pick among the names being tossed around) are just misdirection—and the studio decides to bet on a sure thing, skewing way older than Ian Fleming ever imagined for his signature character?

OpenAI Is Poised to Become the Most Valuable Startup Ever. Should It Be?

OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of a roughly $500 billion valuation, a figure that would make it the most valuable private company in the world—bigger than SpaceX, TikTok’s parent company Bytedance, and even public giants like Palantir. It’s a staggering number for a company with an “astronomical burn rate.” How is this even possible?

I've read every one of his stories at least twice, and The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate more like seven times. I’ve noticed many of his readers, including some of his most positive reviewers, miss one key point or another of his works, and thus don't fully appreciate his genius.

People looking for precursors to artificial intelligence often point to science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov or thought experiments like the Turing test. But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is American psychologist B.F. Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century.
