Interesting where cultures frame new technologies as a means of *transcendence*, not just improved utility. This is how The Internet was often framed in the mid 90s. Come 2010s, and it had become *the mundane* (which I suppose is why so many people are nostalgic for the Y2K era and aesthetic)..

The future *has* to be in the open models, and it *has* to empower humans. But we need to understand this tech does open real possibilities for people. I recommend trying AI-coding your own workflow tools before settling on a 100% anti- position. I was also very skeptical until I tried it myself.

I think I just found out that the Konami composer I am talking about is Toshihisa Furusawa - incredible stuff!

NOTE: To clarify my previous post - I *have not* used AI in any video games or other client work, and I won't without the team being interested in it. You can still have confidence that everything is "handcrafted", and where I explore it in my personal work, I will disclose it.

I think the scales of AI negatives-positives have tipped for me, now *leaning* Pro. A few reasons why: - Open models now frontier-level (de-centralized, given back to the people the data was taken from) - Enabling local-adapted tool prototyping - Reported innovations in datacentre water-recycling

Welcome to a Guided Tour exploring four locations across three Penturan continents. Pentura is the "Capital Planet" of The Weave and houses a diversity of cultures and infrastructure. This tour is a great introduction if you are just starting out with The Weave Explorer, or of Pentura itself.

Indirect Collaboration: being inspired by and drawing from each other's creations, even when we aren't directly collaborating. This is worth keeping in mind, as it is how most of human culture evolves. Check out James Burke's Connections docuseries for plenty of examples.

Just saw Disclosure Day. It is not a movie about aliens. It is an allegory - and man it hits deep. Genuinely.
