"What a tale we have been in, Mr Frodo, haven't we?" he said. "I wish I could hear it told." ...
But even while he spoke so, to keep fear away until the very last, his eyes strayed north, north into the eye of the wind, to where the sky far off was clear... 3/5

all of this is basically a trojan horse for my sinking feeling right now that generative AI will be 'good enough' and that's...potentially a very bad outcome!

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Abiding by the law is no defense against authoritarianism.
Authoritarianism, and for that matter white supremacy, operates under the maxim that the law is whatever they say it is at any given moment.
It's impossible to account for this, especially when your existence alone is deemed an offense.

One uses power by grasping it lightly. To grasp too strongly is to be taken over by power, and thus to become its victim.

The spirit of Muad'Dib is more than words, more than the letter of the Law which arises in his name. Muad'Dib must always be that inner outrage against the complacently powerful, against the charlatans and the dogmatic fanatics.

I know a profound pattern which humans deny with their words even while their actions affirm it. They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak, they create the seeds of turmoil and violence.
