"I Have No Ideas, Yet I Must Post!"

"i just had it suggest sentence after sentence and then in a bit, I had a whole think piece. Incredible technology that keeps the human thinking in the process loop!"

2/2 in the case of the second piece, just prompting an AI tool to write something is "letting AI write your blog post" but incrementally using it for every specific step is not? [Insert Sure Jan gif here].

AI is just turning people inside out. I read a piece earlier today that talks about how AI can inject the human element into a process. And then another piece titled Stop Writing Blog Posts With AI, which detailed all of the incremental help--idea generation, wordsmithing, editing-- AI can do. 1/2

Per his point, will it be enough just to put a Ring sign in a yard and skip out on buying the camera?

Interesting interview with Ring founder. This quote exists as if "bad neighborhoods? don't already have "this neighborhood monitored by close-circuit camera" signs.

Right. It’s only a spoiler if it is not unreasonable* for you to assume** the person would have read/seen/heard/watched by this point.

*you can lawyer that how you wish

I love it when the scientists reinvent the humanities for the 14th time in a decade.

Everyone on Bsky has such a deep case of Elon/X derangement syndrome.

(I’m guilty as well.)

I saw someone say, “Emerald Fennell is Greta Gerwig’s Wario,” and I haven’t stopped laughing 😭

Moulin Rouge is one of my top 10 all-timers.

Yeah, I watched knowing what was you going to happen, and that almost made it worse—the anticipation.

It complete baffles him that people actually care about the things they say they care about. You can see it when he is talking to real people and they mention their issue and he almost always physically draws back with a look of confusion on his face. That he can’t believe this guy is for real.

For all of Trump’s ability to tap the zeitgeist and give people what they want, he has a GIANT blind spot re: not understanding people have beliefs that they value and hold on to dearly. That this is not more widely discussed or exploited is puzzling.

AI’s greatest trick has been to make email cool and relevant again.

It’s interesting how three years ago, email was the bane of everyone’s existence. There was too much! I can’t read & reply to it all!

And now w/ AI tools, everyone is precious about their email. I would never use AI to write an email! All my correspondence is artisanal! Look at me—I’m Eudora Welty!

The age old truism: Protestants love Mardi Gras.

Okay, if everyone can be chill and not do crimes, we may be able to make this stick.

Who wants to see a picture of lady butts?

Pornhub can’t figure out how to represent or point to DC on the map.

Once again, it is bizarre how the media seems to think that only Democrats have agency.

I am not endorsing a Mike Johnson-esque ignorance of current events. Know what’s going on—but also know you don’t have to have a POV.

Something that people forget is that you DON’T have to have an opinion on everything. “What did you think of the cheating French biathlete?” Don’t know, don’t care.

“Did you see the video of the kid punching that guy? Do you think that he—“ Who knows, not my concern.

Good foresight isn’t academic; it’s collective imagination—urgent optimism to navigate chaos today. IFTF’s Jake Dunagan joined 20+ experts from around the world to co-create forecasts that map current global fragmentation’s effects the next decade. www.10fconsortium.org @10fconsortium.bsky.social

Khanna seemed like he was trying to play it safe. One American (Wexler) who we already knew about and then a bunch of foreign names that no one recognized. There were not other names he saw that were better known? Dubious.
