One problem with all the advice you see to avoid perfectionism in your creative process & just execute without worrying so much about it: generally speaking, the people I’ve seen sharing that advice aren’t people whose work I especially admire. Even if they’re likely right anyway.

Sexual victimization history is the best known predictor of a college woman’s grades and one of the best predictors of drop out. It’s also the best predictor of whether a woman who started a male-dominated major like STEM will be able to complete it.

i am making this recommendation because generally this genre of critique tends to over-index on 1) grand sweeping but unworkable ideas 2) "we must change society" 3) vague gestures at a solution in theory-speak 4) arcane technical fixes etc

“Tech is inherently political” is not just about ideology, but about power, too. Yielding technological improvements to the adversary will have predictable outcomes. I’m really worried it will lock in power centralization in a way that will be impossibly hard to reverse. It’s already happening.

“The mediating layers between individuals and experiences have been thoroughly colonized by a regime of mass image production that exists to propagate commodity logic into all corners of psychic and social life” remains my ur-theory that explains almost everything else.

Apart from the broader overall surveillance issues involved, it seems potentially concerning that this initiative uses AI to measure and penalize inherently subjective aesthetic phenomena.

We need third spaces and dense walkable communities. That is the thing that fascists fear most: organic, informal relationships and networks that they can't control. It's also why they are doing everything they can to lock in another generation of American car dependency

I think one reason I’ve felt alienated in the past from much of architectural criticism is that it often fails to do this. The high-stakes permanent nature of architectural mistakes incentivizes critics to evaluate buildings as being entirely good or bad, in a way that doesn’t happen with other art.

The touchscreen is a tool the body cannot learn. Every swipe, every tap, every pinch requires the eye to confirm what the finger is doing. The body cannot build a map of a surface that never changes. So the learning never finishes. The tool never disappears.

one really important fact that I think a lot of people who aren't super close to this stuff don't realize is that transformers/LLMs were NOT what OpenAI et. seq. (taking Anthropic as an OpenAI spinoff) were founded to work on, and were developed elsewhere. Caught them largely by surprise.

You do not need to lose sleep worrying that the language police will prevent people from using short words like "think" to describe AI, and force them to use elaborate periphrases forever. This sort of thing usually fails because of human laziness, without a lot of help from argument.

After mapping nearly 4,000 locations where human remains were found against information on nearly 600 surveillance towers, we discovered that a humanitarian crisis at the border has unfolded in view of the government’s own cameras.
trib.al
The US spent billions on border surveillance. Why can’t it catch people before they die?
Surveillance towers, increasingly powered by AI, promised faster responses to crossings. Our investigation of deaths near the towers found they are failing to deliver.

Each of these words they mean *in human like, or exceeding human-like* ways. Trees steal water form neighbors, and maybe have philosophically interesting "minds" that operate on very different time-scales but we're not worried about that kind of cheating-mind taking over the world.

Altman, Yudkowsky, etc.. are all arguing that LLMs have minds *as we understand them or beyond that on the same axis of "mind"* Arguments about AI Safety, risk, as well as a chunk of the news cycle are asserting LLMs have *human-like* minds. That they scheme, cheat, think, manipulate, etc...

Suspect there’s starting to be a shift where the advent of AI slop may provide greater freedom to designers of 100% human-authored work, by reducing expectations that lots of production time must be spent polishing what you create. Like how realistic portraits became less relevant after photography.

If you turn something into a benchmark with quantifiable rewards and progress metrics, don’t be surprised when the machines achieve dominance there. At that point it will be too late to gesture at intrinsic non-economic values, you’ve made them illegible (in Scott’s sense) to any outside observer.

a lot of people need to internalize that you need to be high agency — now more than ever act, even when it feels awkward push yourself, even when it feels out of your league take chances, even when you know they might not pay off I know it's not easy, but a lot of people fall into self-defeatism

It's like, at an aesthetic level translucent color tech represents the possibility for the individual to participate in a social life bigger than themself, while machine milled monochrome tech represents subsuming the identity of the individual into a totalitarian collective.

I think a big portion of the translucent shell aesthetic was at least a signification that the technology was *for you*, even if you couldn't understand its workings, they were laid bare for your examination. Technology was a comprehensible tool, not an opaque brick.
