what doesn’t kill you makes you go on a walk
i highly recommend having hobbies, it distracts you from falling in love unnecessarily
guy on my work call kept using the phrase "blue sky thinking" - never defined it, I never looked it up. some things just arent meant to be 💙
lesbianism is a more serious ontological commitment
why do we say "im gay" "im bi" but "im A lesbian"

@pixelgrave_exe I guess like broccoli
This is another thing about AI - it lacks a history. And historically, that can be very dangerous

I'm convinced that the single greatest challenge for any ambitious person is eliminating the guilt associated with free time and rest.
hey good news everyone my fave is back in stock
million-dollar app idea - an AI that goes through all your apps and turns off all the AI
My problem is I believe I’m supposed to have fun every single day
Was what we had real or cake
Every year we will announce a new 5-year strategic plan.
I keep thinking about the doorman fallacy Rory Sutherland keeps referring to. A hotel can replace a doorman with an automatic door and call it efficiency. On paper, it saves money. But the balance sheet only sees one job: opening the door. It does not see everything else the doorman was doing. He was security. He was status. He was recognition. He was the first human signal that this place is cared for. He noticed who came in. He made regular guests feel known. He made strangers feel watched. He made the hotel feel like a hotel. This is the danger of cost cutting. It often removes value that was never measured. Many businesses make this mistake. They define a human role too narrowly, automate the visible function, and then wonder why the experience feels worse. A receptionist is not just answering calls. A call center agent is not just closing tickets. A postman is not just delivering letters. Human beings carry invisible value. They create trust, warmth, reassurance, and memory. These things are hard to quantify, so finance departments treat them as waste. But customers don't behave like numbers inside an excel sheet. They live with feelings and emotions that are hard to measure. And sometimes the thing you remove to save cost was the thing that made people trust you.
AND I WANT IT BACK
the L word is like a lost civilisation wdym they go to cafes and house parties everyday and they have well-paying jobs in journalism and the arts??
People will talk about syntax and em dashes or whatever the markers of a current model are taken to be. But the real signature of literary AI is when it feels somehow overwritten and underwritten at the same time
Yes! In grad school we called it "creative cross-training," which i like for the practical comparison of creative habits to muscles
I can't find it now but recently saw someone describe being an interdisciplinary artist as "doing crop rotation on your brain" and I can't think of a better descriptor
We all have that one friend who is Constantly Struggling against One or More Outrageously Absurd Plights
