For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

I think I jinxed it lol. Freezing rain/ice storm/snow yesterday and over the next few days = I don't really want to be on the road
I went bouldering today, and although I don't want to jinx it, I'm too excited that I might be able to close off the year with sending (aka completing) my first V5 (as long as I can get a couple more sessions in)

Hot take: if you're not going to eat (eg, just chilling/waiting/resting), don't sit and take up space in a very busy food court. Ok during non busy times though.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”

And

I hate to say it

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

Quit.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

There are no physical releases OR alternatives for streaming for many of the projects leaving Netflix. These companies largely don’t care about the preservation of their content. They’re more interested in squeezing out the most amount money they can.

THIS IS WHY MEDIA PIRACY IS PRESERVATION!!
‘She-Ra and the Princesses of Power’ is scheduled to leave Netflix on February 21, 2026.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

everyone who says that it's inevitable and to get used to it really doesn't understand the power of just not using a thing. lots of examples of tech that was pushed aside (whether by consumers or corporate machinations, perhaps some of the most well known are HD DVD, and BETAMAX) or lost exist.
we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

i was reminded by a reel, but it's crazy how coca-cola went from the super successful marketing campaign of associating santa with red (and thus our modern image of him) to the craptastic genAi slop commercials of the last 2 years
