Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
Pompeii is a city of the dead. The tragedy captured them, covered everything with ash, and petrified the last remaining citizens who didn’t run away from the first stages of the eruption. Their houses remained almost as they were, frozen in time.
The ruins are now ruled by cats, or at least the cats think that way.
Castel Nuovo was built in the 13th century and hosted kings, popes, thinkers, and artists. I walked by it and it made me think about AI rather than history. People built that thing and felt like it was impenetrable, and then came artillery and it was suddenly just a cold building. A story that keeps repeating. You have a status quo, and you have people thinking how to break it, over and over throughout history.
Terraces made of bricks and rebars? Does the blue paint keep the terraces from falling? How? Why?
I’ve been very busy last week and the blog suffers a bit. Sharing another kitten for now, which rules a brutalist area 🙂
