They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

To begin with, probably my all-time favorite (and probably Sarah's, since she introduce it as so). "Allow yourself to notice that you're a breathing being...". From the first sentence you already know this is going to be different, and it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F51-...

So I'll be trying that for now, also the Plum Village app which has more interesting materials in it. That said, I'll leave here some of my favorite meditations (gradually as I rewatch them to confirm if I still like them), and, after I test the idea for longer, my fav poems and songs to meditate to

Some guided meditations are so mechanic, utilitarian. Breathe like this, think about that, now get back to being productive. A great meditation lifts you up from automatism, it's not just a pit stop. Like some great poems and songs; and just like that I realized I can use those as meditations.

(tl;dr: The Plum Village app seems to be more in tune with my tastes, but using the Search page and not the content on Home) This prompted me to wonder what makes me like a guided meditation, what makes it better than no guidance at all. The answer came to me like a lotus petal in the wind: poetry

I usually meditate unguided or using some of my saved guided meditations, but I tried the open source Medito for a while and it felt useful. But then it got worse? The scripts and voices started to sound very dull. Then I found that the creator denies AI use in those but is a full-on AI lover

It's probably a coincidence, and if it wasn't it would be just a harmless use of reference. It would be fun to know if it was in their moodboard, though, because both Denise and I love some other works by Mike Flannagan (a bit bummed by yet another thin Carrie, though)

Hmm
Cover for "A Profecia de Mídria" by Denise Flaibam, with an illustration by Victor Maristane over 2 years ago, with similarities to the recently revealed Carrie poster. It's probably a coincidence, or a harmless use of reference.
