Besides, I maintain that it is the distinct purview of writers and artists and actual non-baseball-cap-enabled thinkers to get our dunks in where we can, in the beautiful city of New York and larger project of America wherein cultural capital is still not something that can be entirely bought and stripped for parts yet; thus being able to categorically reject an AI company’s attempt to be “cool” and “community-minded” is probably the closest thing to artistic freedom we will have in this decade. So let me reiterate, actually, that I think this shit is so fucking dorky, and anyone who is excited about the “aesthetics” of an AI company reveals a soul so malnourished from lack of exposure to basic facts of experience, sensation, context and yes, TASTE, that a semblance of a gesture toward meaning activates some kind of rhapsodic trip-wire within. Oh my sweet children. I can’t believe you think that’s beauty.

Need a cigarette after reading @deliacai.bsky.social's ant-AI screed in today’s Deez Links www.deezlinks.com/p/the-ai-cla...

A text screenshot that says: “Everything is a personality cult, and maybe just a cult. You have to cultivate your own, no matter how small. To do so you must always be relatable, but also ideally aspirational. Just don’t get too out of the reach of your cultists.”

This is both very good and mostly depressing …

Who wants to have a cult?? Can’t I just write some good stories and host interesting shows/events?

“Man infatuate” indeed Well, congrats to Vanity Fair for finally publishing something PopCrave couldn’t immediately pick through and clout-jack, I guess!

I think there's a pendulum in newsletter writing that swings between "I'm sharing one high-impact thought" and "I'm assembling a small digital magazine," and right now I feel like I'm receiving too many magazines and not enough high-impact, self-contained thoughts

Crazy that the word "estranged" predates the internet. E-stranged, to make one another stranger, seems otherwise like an obviously named state of modern relation
