Charles P @charlespainter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026As much as I don't want to hear about LLMs every day I can't avoid it currently. It has me thinking - what is the endgame of "freeing up our time?" What are we freeing up time to do? I keep coming to the conclusion that we're just freeing up time to consume for the sake of pleasure. Like forever. 110

Charles P @charlespainter.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There is A LOT going on in Fortune's Weave but one thing I particularly like is the use of a tournament as the driving narrative device. Not only do you get to ally with/know the other teams early on before being forced to fight, you get to play from every perspective. Pretty compelling imo. 020

Reposted by Charles PSkitch @skitch.bsky.social · 13/09/2026More to the point, genAI tools are terrible collaborators because as designed, they almost uniformly aren't meant to push back on ideas. Part of the creative process is when someone else tells you your idea ISN'T WORKING and you then need to pivot/compromise. Erase the process, erase the growth. 011

Charles P @charlespainter.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I'm always surprised by the strong negative reaction this game elicits, esp. using similar criticisms to the ones in this article.
