i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating
between this and the FSO Safer (another ship at serious risk of exploding) I’m convinced every field has its “yeah, this is the problem that keeps me up at night” and I’m on a quest to learn about all of them

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

Would be nice if our political leaders were paying attention. No amount of AI profit potential is worth this. No amount of short-term goodwill from Danielle Smith is worth this. We— all of humanity— are facing a civilization-ending threat. But we're still gonna pour money into AI and pipelines. 😡
