two trivias about this video:
1. Soundtrack by @adamsinger.bsky.social
2. the colors are a side effect of the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption, that tinted the southern sky for several months with really crazy colors.

Good video, I talk about a lot of the ideas presented here and danger of outsourcing all cognitive and creative work to machines on the blog all the time. There's no way you can do that without tradeoffs, in fact we have plenty of ex this is true in existing areas www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcol...

Big tech's war on hyperlinks continues. Build an email list from your followers on those platforms while you still can. The window to do this is shrinking, then may be gone forever.
Eventually there will be a day you will reach no one unless you pay -whether it has links or otherwise

New on the blog - the easy traffic days are gone. If there ever even was any sort of internet social contract, it's been broken for years. You have to operate with this in mind and can't act surprised when tactics of the past stop working www.hottakes.space/p/internet-c...
Internet companies don't owe anyone free traffic
It's incredible people still haven't realized this and hedged against it

This week's longform idea we're talking about how some friction in your life is good. Creative work isn't assembly line work. It's something different and transcendent. You want it to have real meaning, not just be faster and cheaper www.hottakes.space/p/some-frict...
Some friction is good
The people who want a totally frictionless world are nihilistic, empty and lost

Hard to believe that a few years ago there was genuine mainstream discourse about tech companies shifting to 4-day work weeks while today companies are bragging about “AI productivity gains” yet it’s all about 996.

You can't call people "luddites" for having taste
And anyway, all the obsession with tools is silly: amateurs obsess over tools, pros over mastery

Relevant once again this week: you can't prompt your way to meaning. AI certainly isn't useless, but I find my personal fulfillment from creative work is equal to what was sacrificed to make it. More thoughts on this topic... www.hottakes.space/p/you-cant-p...
