Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

“You can be anything” sounds like an encouraging thing to say to a child, but there are lots of terrifying and bad things one could become 🤔

It’s never too late to start over. Even if it feels far away, little steps forward matter. You haven’t missed your chance - even if it looks different from what you once wanted. You can still find love, happiness, fulfillment, purpose.

I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

The thing that gets me about this is that so many of us have known this for so long, and so many people have faced pushback for saying it, and even if by some miracle something changes now, there will not be an ounce of retrospective reflection from anyone at all who insisted it wasn’t

I'm genuinely disturbed.
I'm living in a country that is passionate about defending the 'free speech' of those who would incite violence against minorities, but equally passionate about arresting people for calling a genocide a genocide.

Years of dealing with racists has taught me that all racists are also misogynists, so when they say “protect our women and girls”, they are only speaking half the sentence out loud. The full sentence is “protect our women and girls because they are OUR prey”.

A paragraph from this MIT study, which I read with my own two eyes, and you should, too.
![One of the most prominent effects of using AI in writing is the shift in how students engage
with the material. Generative AI can generate content on demand, offering students quick
drafts based on minimal input. While this can be beneficial in terms of saving time and
offering inspiration, it also impacts students' ability to retain and recall information, a key
aspect of learning. When students rely on AI to produce lengthy or complex essays, they
may bypass the process of synthesizing information from memory, which can hinder their
understanding and retention of the material. For instance, while ChatGPT significantly
improved short-term task performance, such as essay scores, it did not lead to significant
differences in knowledge gain or transfer [55]. This suggests that while AI tools can
enhance productivity, they may also promote a form of "metacognitive laziness," where
students offload cognitive and metacognitive responsibilities to the AI, potentially hindering
their ability to self-regulate and engage deeply with the learning material [55]. AI tools that
generate essays without prompting students to reflect or revise can make it easier for
students to avoid the intellectual effort required to internalize key concepts, which is crucial
for long-term learning and knowledge transfer [55]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e36u5s7ohhidia4x5e4nwdd4/bafkreigu3ksvv7ogskqwqw6wwjmbhdwj4pgltdm5rf4hlupww7fwbfyhga@jpeg)

The public library is the new Blockbuster Video but it’s FREE* pass it on

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.
So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.
