Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

Information is distinct from (and many have argued that it is *entirely* distinct from) knowledge.
Wikipedia is knowledge.
Twitter is information.
Knowledge is slow.
Information is fast.
Importantly, dis- & mis-information are still information.
And they are not knowledge.

One lesson of the Information Age is that information does not solve the problem of human irrationality.
It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.
