I’m kind of over complaining about AI, but this essay was great. Love the explanation on the origins of hyperlinks.

A.I. used to make art cheaper and to avoid paying artists is abhorrent. Used to write speeches and summarize books reduces the practice and makes the accomplishment meaningless. It cheapens the process and provides no value. The way it’s being advertised is nothing short of disgusting. Google aired an ad where a father uses A.I. to help his daughter write a letter to her favorite athlete. Why are you shortcutting time spent with your daughter, teaching her how to put emotion into words, helping her work through something challenging? It’s soulless dreck. I’m tired of hearing about it, talking about it and thinking about all the ways it can ruin society. Since corporations and industry insist on shoving it down our throat, I think it’s (as always) our responsibility to demand better. The linked essay made me reconsider the use of it as a tool to expand, as you put it, as long as it’s not used to enable laziness and shortcuts.

It's a bit of a slow burner, but I appreciate the technical details she focuses on. Like, what the tics of ai instruct us about human use of language and associations
And I appreciate her overall philosophical take. She's not fighting all the ways ai is imperfect, while she acknowledges a couple of problems, but I think that by getting excited about how it's a mirror, she reveals a sort of optimism for the future.
Here to stay, so let's have fun with the good bits

maybe i’m just being nitpicky. the whole AI thing has been spoken on, and I am so hypocritical on, i do use it, frequently. I do still think it’s an issue, i do feel like i did at some point lose the ability to think for myself because of a reliance on AI. but even so, just the reliance on typing. yeah, i do prefer it, but i could still write pages and pages without much issue i do believe analogue work is just as important. people complaining about their hands hurting after just a few pages ://. to each their own, i think people need to write more, and think for themselves more, and be able to sit comfortably in not knowing who they are.
ALSO, people need to walk, if you can, move ur body. so much is being lost to cars, and computers, and AI. it’s just sad.
also lithography is dying. thank you for reading my brain dump.
