what is the point of existing moment to moment if thought is such a burden that it must be perpetually offloaded to machines
I think of ChatGPT as a productivity tool like Google Search but as I talk to non-tech users, I find their usage patterns both fascinating and disturbing.
I talked to someone who had a negative interaction with their neighbor then asked ChatGPT who was out of line, them or their neighbor.

Just released the English translation of "Our Bodies as Data", a paper I wrote on biometrics, identity, and what it means to digitize the self. It’s an old piece, but it still holds the core of what I’m working on now.

“it’s your ball. you bought it”
“it’s your ball. you bought it”
So much of my job is this over and over again on a loop:
"So what do you think we should do in order to responsibly build the Torment Nexus?"
"You can't. It's a Torment Nexus. Stop it."
"But the Torment Nexus is inevitable!"
"It's not. You could just not do it. You could stop right now."
