I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

Just drove past a house with tons of Christmas lights up. Folks, I regret to inform you that Halloween is no longer holding the bulkhead against the holiday season. Early October had been breached; late September is sure to fall next. By this time next year we may be witnessing a Christmas in July

I imagine AI will get better and the ecosystem will evolve in ways that make it easier to build that context, but right now I still feel like AI agents are mostly for people who like tweaking their setups and don’t mind that it’s not actually faster/cheaper because they’re having fun

I'm not saying the term "agent" was chosen as a means to diminish the importance of understanding and protecting our own human agency but I'm also not /not/ saying it.

when ai leaves u behind

7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2:
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4:
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6:
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy.
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”
