Am I an AI Hypocrite? On Tinkering, Gorillaz, and the Hobbyist's Case for AI
I spent a Saturday romanticizing the analog creativity of Gorillaz at House of Kong. The next morning I was deep in Claude. Here's why that's not a contradiction.
My buddy @misterjt.bsky.social's post on digital tinkering really resonated with me. This week I used Claude to create a better (for me) UI for entering reminders into the Reminders app on my Mac. I'm delighted by the result. I get a jolt of joy every time I use it.

Yes. I'd prefer if we stay on morning light but fine, I'll take more evening light if we just don't ever change again. Just pick one!

I hate time change so fucking much. I also hate going back to waking up in the dark so fucking much.

I bought a Brick recently and it's been very useful. I needed something to help me from spending so much time doomscrolling. But I'm starting to hate the company because I swear to god I've unsubscribed from their emails 3 different times and they keep sending me shit. I ALREADY BOUGHT THE PRODUCT.

Anyone have a recommendation for a handyman in Louisville who does small jobs? I have a handful of small things but my former guy went and got a day job. π

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Are car dealerships the singularly most sleazy business in America? I just want to give you cash money for the thing I want to buy. Why must I sit through an hour of you trying to sell me other shit? And you trying to slip fees and shit in hoping I wonβt notice?

Does the Louisville library have 3d printers? If so it might be time to re-up my library card.

Hereβs my problem with Unrivaled:
I like too many players on different teams.
And itβs causing me great angst.

I knew there were pockets of ppl who didnβt believe in science. I just vastly underestimated how many there were - & how many ppl would fall for their rhetoric. Covid was an incredibly harsh wake up call for me. The disappointment felt by many of us in medicine & research is simply unfathomable.

Hey Louisville! I hear you need your medical marijuana card applications notarized? And that some banks are turning people away? I, your friendly neighborhood notary, shall never turn you away. Just buy me a coffee or drink. π
