I adored the finale of Four Seasons season 2. Feel your feelings, be generous with the people you love, be your wild true self — and always, always include David Tennant.

So just to be clear, this hype bubble is about…fake-smarts™️? What’s next: the Nobel “Fake-Peace” prize? More Real-Good, less Fake-Smarts.

I mean we all see the word “artificial” right there in artificial intelligence - right? 1 of 3

“Oh hey let’s invest a bunch of money in fake-smarts”

“I’m gonna use fake-smarts to write my college essay!”

“Surely l, fake-smarts will help my business grow.”

2 of 3

I get it, life is hard. Short-cuts are appealing. Fake-Smarts (tm) is a shiny toy.

But you know what else is appealing? Puppies. Laughing. Consensual sex.

And you know what else is shiny? Sunlight glittering on water. Disco balls. Pride parades.

…And none of those things is hurting our planet earth.

In conclusion:
More Real-Good.
Less Fake-Smarts.

Another easy way to help make the world a better place: stop using ChatGPT. Here’s how: 1) Stop using it. 2) Do not use it. 3) Cease usage. 4) When you find yourself reaching for it, spritz yourself with water & say “no! tsst! tsst!” 5) When you’re still tempted imagine using it kills Bambi.

An easy way to help make the world a better place is to stop shopping at Amazon. Stop stop stop. Stop it. Just don’t do it. Stop it. No! Bad dog! Stop.

Today the weather in NY’s Hudson Valley is an expression of perfection: high of 80 with a beautiful fresh occasional wind, blue skies… every molecule vibrating with aliveness. Gorgeous, gorgeous — and what a gift it is to sit on my deck with people I love and just *soak*.

Ways to get civically engaged instead of watching That Man lie on national television for an hour: 1️⃣ Check in on your neighbors and help them with shoveling 2️⃣ Contact your Senators and ask them to oppose the SAVE Act 3️⃣ Tune into @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com's People’s State of the Union

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

2025 sucked in so many ways… *and*, I can’t remember a better Christmas-to-New Years stretch than this one. I’ve felt suspended in a beautiful place of anticipation and savoring the birth of the new. I’m almost sad for it to be over tomorrow…
