Seeing social media go from sharing random moments with your friends, to performative expression, to “for you” engagement farming, to AI slop basically tracks the trajectory of decay of human experiences from connection to self-deception.

The industrialization of attention exploitation.

My friend just wrote lyrics for his daughter and asked AI to help put it into a song. Feels like this is the "mixtape" moment for the new generation.

Same sweet sentiment.

Was looking for inspiration so went to search and watched some TED talks.

The experience felt nostalgic and indulgent. The great classics still feel strong but by now familiar, others just feel staged, especially with the now formulaic method of vulnerable personal storytelling.

I remember discovering the Opinion section of the newspaper when I was a kid. My thought was:

“Why read someone else’s opinion when the facts are in the front section?”

Rumors of Jeff Bezos acquiring Condé Nast with Lauren Sanchez becoming a “tastemaker” as a shadow executive.

They have no idea respect comes from how you treat others and make their lives better and more interesting.

Better lines than Core 4:
Dave Andreychuk-Doug Gilmour-Glenn Anderson+Wendel Clark
Or

Difference between search and AI….Google products are so broken…maps, search…I just get unreliable or out dated info now. Links and info in them are unreliable.

@bsky.app is probably the most innovative and user centric social network right now. From starter packs, to "popular with friends" groups to now trending videos on mobile. It created on ramp and discovery in a way that feels careful and curated.

What happened to the age of Einstein and Oppenheimer? Brilliant people who are also empathetic philosophers. People who care about our common humanity?
