  • Patriotism in Sport

    This tweet says it. I feel infinitely more patriotic than one would reasonable expect to when we have just, sort of, embarrassed ourselves instigated, and seemingly loosing, a war.

  • You Are Not Late

    A good day to re-read this Kevin Kelly essay from 2014. I think I believe he’s right. The internal disagreement (cope, perhaps) I felt reading it is that the big things we’re inventing right now, the things exciting everyone and causing $1 trillion IPOs, are created by a few big companies with a ton of…

  • Traditional Georgian Dance to Future

    Today’s my birthday. 33rd year – the Jesus year – is nigh! I think I’ll live this year with the attitude of this video. It’s simply wonderful. —— Also, there is an infinite amount of content (signs h/t Baudrillard) to be created. Many, many of them of unbelievably imaginative and interesting; such as these Georgians…

    Maybe about a year ago, I remember telling Michael that I thought it would make sense for the big AI companies to hire philosophers. That philosophers might be one of the last “jobs” left. A thousand other thoughts or predictions, if you can call this remark one, since then have not come to pass.

  • It is Sunday

    This is possible, it would just take a higher standard for what spending your money and your time means. And by “you” and “your”, I mean me and mine.

  • My pendulum swings

    After about two months now of using AI very heavily, exploring new coding and agent tools, I am again swinging back towards a very Wendell Berry-esque feeling towards all of it. At the same time as my usage has been going up, this very interesting nostalgia for the 90s and early 2000s has come into…
