I do not dream of weeknight meals

then you have to think: the writer of this article has documented a small slice of reality; what do I, a human with a brain, think about the material that has been presented to me? the result of that process is your opinion, which is different from the article.

Couldn't be more excited to share @chaykak.bsky.social's next book, which asks what role our most piercing, powerful encounters with culture and beauty play in making us who we are, explores how we seek more of them, and looks at what we lose in a world where those experiences are increasingly rare

"do not use our superhuman intelligence machine to do anything a professional human should be doing"

"The large numbers don’t quite mean what they used to as signals of relevance or clout, as social media has become more aged, more manipulable, and more automated by artificial intelligence."

This value shift is important for restoring cultural progress and it looks like it's happening organically
