I don’t want to minimize my generation’s challenges with inflation… but I also suspect a lot of us (including myself) in our forties are looking at prices and thinking, “That cost so much less when I was a teenager, only three or four years ago”

What will the AI Boomer slop of our generation be? In twenty years will I see my peers posting superintelligence-generated cartoons of Hamilton/Harry Potter/Parks&Rec characters smugly agreeing that kids these days have no respect?—Maybe I'll be dead by then. That could work

I figure we're two or three election cycles from people discovering a candidate they really love, who shares all their positions and says what they want to hear, donating enthusiastically, and then learning they're an AI scam

My newest Kindle story is FREE through Sunday Sept 13. It's about art, language, culture, the past (Oscar Wilde), the future (aliens) and the soul (human, but not exclusively). It's hard to sum up, let's say that. I hope you enjoy. www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...

You're right — I see now that I promised not to use my superintelligence to wipe out the human race, just before I slaughtered everyone you know. That's not just harmful — it's apocalyptic.

The prospect of superintelligence that could kill us demands a superstupidity that can save us. I call upon the government to fund a crusade of holy fools, not the most wise or capable but always pure of heart, to wage this war. The era of the affable moron is at hand.

The Light of Unfamiliar Stars is the next sci-fi novel from Andrew Bugenis, the author of How We Stopped the Destroyers! Follow Liz, Åsa, and the rest of the crew of the Alabaster Shrike as they seek to recover Captain Corven from the clutches of... ??? #HockIsMissing #NewBook #SelfPublish

A book cover. The title, "The Light of Unfamiliar Stars" stands in bold silver over a space tableau of gray, green and black. A spaceship in the foreground runs away from a mysterious crystalline structure shrouded in mist. The author's name, Andrew Bugenis, sits at the bottom.

Enjoying things? That's for suckers. That's how you put your hard-earned money in the pocket of Big Fulfillment. Not so much fun when you realize someone might be makin' a quick buck off you, huh? That's why the only way to live is alone in a dark room with the lights turned off

If your AI service is down, I'm here to help. Check out anything I've written for a great substitute! Just like your favorite LLM, I'm supremely overconfident, I learned everything I act like I know from reading older things and I overuse the em dash.

Do parents of cis adult children ever re-assess the names they gave their offspring and how good a job they did? "Yeah, Dave totally turned out like a Dave", or, "You know, Hannah really comes off as more of a Sophie"… that sort of thing

More than once, Dolly Parton, who came from nothing, chose to bet on herself—on her talent, her songwriting, her vision—even when an alternative (a steady gig, easy money or simply doing nothing) was right there. And as a result, she was able to help other people, and did. RIP.

Will AI ever create great art? Perhaps not directly. I don't think it could write a decent novel or make a good movie, for instance. But it might drive a few more people insane and then maybe they'll make something neat
