1/ Did you know that #ConstructionMorphology was developed by Susanne Z. Riehemann? It was her masters thesis in 1993, which was later published in a journal article in 1998. Very good work about -bar derivation in German (like able derivation in English). It is type-based, captures lexical idiosyncrasies and regularities and sub-regularities. Susanne's work was corpus-driven. Empirically and formally very good. Gert Booij never cites her appropriately.

@bibliolater I do believe we certainly have an obligation to our descendants to give it our best try. Promoting "planned degrowth" however, is proving to be quite the challenge. Accomplishing it would certainly be one of the top accomplishments in this century. Sounds like a good topic for one of the X-prizes!

@bibliolater When future intelligent species discover our records (that survived) they'll go "Hmm, that was an intelligent specie, but any top predator that fails to evolve to avoid overpopulation is doomed for extinction by polluting their environment and depleting their resources, like microbes in a petri dish." Likely too late now to do anything about it: large populations make technology a necessity, and our technology will now ensure we remain too large and fragile to last forever.

"It is about the Land according to the redefined Judaism that emerged in the centuries following the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE. This Judaism replaced the temple cult with Torah study - a study that pertained in part to that very temple cult, that became a portable homeland, and that reconfigured the Land."

"Life, as we know it, has been evolving for billions of years. It has evolved to process information and materials by zillions of nano-scale molecular “machines” all working in parallel, competing as well as backing each other up, maintaining themselves and the ecosystem supporting them. The total complexity of this machinery, also called the biosphere, is mindboggling. In DNA, one bit of information takes less than 50 atoms. Given the atomic nature of physical matter, every part in life’s machinery is as miniature as possible in principle. Can AI achieve such a complexity, robustness, and adaptability by alternative means and without DNA?" blog.oup.com/2024/04/is-humani @science

@bibliolater Some Like It Hot is a classic, and just squeaks into your criteria (1959).

Singing in the Rain is also a delight.

If silent films also work for you, the silent comedies of Buster Keaton are fantastic. Sherlock Jr. is my favorite of the ones I've seen.

Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

"We propose that early humans knew that elephants consistently walked along the same paths to waterholes and used this information to hunt/ambush elephants along these paths. In the course of hunting/ambushing elephants, humans repeatedly utilized specific quarry sites along the trails in preparation for butchering the large game."
