Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"
Zohran Mamdani, with a record of anti-Israel activism, won over some Jews in the New York City mayoral primary, but confirmed other Jews' worst fears about the American left.
Mamdani’s Success Spotlights a Deepening Rupture Among U.S. Jews
While Zohran Mamdani won over some Jewish supporters, other Jewish Democrats suggested that concerns about their community’s safety are being dismissed in a movement and a city they helped build.

I once had a fight with my publisher's lawyer over what constitutes "fair use." He said reprinting 4 lines of a poem without the poet's explicit permission was too much. But AI gobbling up whole books now counts as "fair use." Something is definitely wrong with US copyright law.
Federal court says copyrighted books are fair use for AI training
Anthropic didn’t break the law when it trained its chatbot with copyrighted books, a judge said, but it must go to trial for allegedly using pirated books.

Please donate or share if you can. Jordan is a dear friend, and his partner Mitzi was first diagnosed with breast cancer around the same time that I was. It was devastating to learn that hers came back like this, and I hope modern medicine can give her as much time as possible.
Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.
We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world.
If you’re able, we could use your help.

You're doing everything so fast, you can't stand taking a single moment to sit and think to yourself. What else is there? What are you saving time to even do? If you brush away the process of learning and growing and thinking what even is left?? Christ

It's all compounding. Journalism being kept behind a paywall, art being absorbed no deeper than surface level, consumption as activism and morality. It's all about the appearance of competence with zero substance. It's going to completely collapse sooner than later

This tech accelerationism is training people to just do the appearance of work: a headline, art that looks almost normal from a distance, to complete things as fast as possible and move onto the next... it's dissolving humanity and culture at large

Because social, economic and environmental concerns are, and should be, vastly more importance than theoretical "usefulness". It's the plot of every other children's movie, lmao. We are so socially overbaked in our compulsions to seek convenience that discomfort, friction, etc, is intolerable to us
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?

98% of “AI” hype truly is an insult to life itself
“As a doctor, an important way I sustain and deepen my relationships with my patients is by writing about them. This is the very process that the AI scribe asks me — or forces me — to give up.”
Every doctor is a writer: On the end of note-writing and meaning-making in medicine
“As a doctor who is very much a writer, I feel a sense of dread and even grief at this new option (or pressure) to outsource my note-writing to AI,” writes Christine Henneberg.
