With nothing but love and respect for all involved, this @ conversation is an example of why builders must talk with non-technical people more often. PDSs, Domains, Handles, etc. are all frictions. The public don't understand and mostly won't care to understand. What's obvious to us is not to them.

Our irritations with others are clues to what we have yet to understand about ourselves.

Remembering the post that said being and posting on Instagram feels like surveillance more than celebration.

Speaking of journeys, I love how referential and poetic events in your life are/becomeโthe way things from your past are referenced in your future, and vice versa. This is why Dennis Villeneuve's Arrival is one of my faves.
I just love seeing people win tbh ๐ฅบ Especially those who've been denied their victory for a long time. Perhaps it's because I see a part of myself in them. I resonate and empathize with their strife, and root for them as they go along their journey.
People are allowed their opinions. However, I get sad when I see people hating on Golden.
I read EJAE's storyโhow she worked hard on becoming an idol for 10+ years, for it to not end up anywhere, only for things to come full-circle with her playing an idol in a well-received movie in the end.
Cutting out Twitter from my life has been unsuccessful due to the fire BL recs I get over there, I just turned it around.
I managed to curate my fyp to just Github repo recs, film + book recs, and programming resources, then I just block the rest so it stops turning up. No blue check needed.
I was just about to start a Substack and heard about it being pro-Nazi ๐ Oof. Dodged that one
Felt it too! Hope you're getting plenty of rest!

"The Onionโs process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday. The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times. Thatโs why I donโt touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work theyโre already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and thatโs working. You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step. If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope itโs that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People donโt actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company."
"A.I. is inherently a mediocrity machine. It takes the precise middle of everything and attempts to emulate it. Thatโs A.I. when itโs working, and itโs great for, like, TurboTax. Thatโs also satire when itโs total dogshit. The only times Iโve seen A.I. being funny are when it messes up profoundly. A full ten years before its rebrand into some sort of all-encompassing economic panacea, we used to call generative A.I. bots LLMs. One of them was called Horse_Ebooks, and it was hooked up to a Twitter account that tweeted random sentence fragments from smutty books about horses. Everyone assumed it was a robot gone haywire. Its best work wound up being sentences hand-curated by a human in disguise. In short, A.I. has done a tremendous job of laying off roughly 10% of my friends and driving down the quality of the open internet, covering it with a layer of lorem ipsum. Itโs done a bad job of making pretty much anything that can escape the uncanny valley artistically, despite being three years into this hype cycle about how itโs going to gain sentience and kill Americaโs grandmas. All of this is being pitched as good for the economy, for some reason. Anyway, Iโm sure Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Mark Zuckerberg have our best interests in mind and this will be a net-positive for society."
The more I read about how The Onion operates, the more I love the publication: www.status.news/p/the-onion-...
