Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 05/08/2026PSA: I want to highlight that AI does not work as a search engine or a research assistant. People think it does, that it helps them summarize complex papers in a way that is easy to understand but it cannot replace the work of actually reading and tackling with information. 120

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 20/05/2026There has been a war for a while now from the tech companies as they try to reshape the internet into 1 of 3 forms of exploited capital - land (metaverse), commodities (crypto/nft), & “labor” (AI). 110
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I love how I can tell my parents multiple times about the new D-line stops in LA and they are like “meh, whatever, our daughter is ranting again” And then i read them a quote from LA Times about how you can now get from Union Station to Beverly Hills in 21 mins and it blows their minds. 120
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Empathy has been horribly co-opted in recent years by some of the worst people, but i genuinely believe that empathy starts with a curiosity in the world around you and a willingness to interact with it with kindness and some wonder. 010
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I was at this panel and Cassie said some wild stuff. But I do sympathize with the issues she laid out that she claimed AI addressed for. Market pressures, the need to make money, insecurity as a writer, and mental health issues. AI promised to be a quick fix to all of that rather than the— 100
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 28/04/2026This makes me think of the stories my mom tells me of the dudes in her meditation class who will interrupt the lecture to demand direct answers, all so they can race to the certificate, so they can become “teachers” themselves.

Don’t stop writing until the timer goes off. If it goes off and you find yourself in a grove, keep going until you’ve run out of words. Then re-read. 000
