My cynical hope is that if this continues to be declared irreversible and inevitable by those in power, then it’s as good an argument as any for UBI (or: ongoing royalty payments in perpetuity to past, present and future victims of AI theft [everyone]).

Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

LLMs cease to be useful when they can't be used to scam people into unknowingly reading slop anymore. When the typewriter was invented, no one had to pretend its output was handwritten to get people to accept it. Typing had its own utility. LLMs are scamtech that have no utility outside the scam.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

A procedurally generated Islamic geometric tile mosaic: a seamless repeating pattern of interlocking twelve-pointed stars separated by polygonal tiles. The strapwork is drawn as pale ribbons that weave over and under at each crossing, set over glazed compartments in terracotta, amber and sky, in the manner of Nasrid Granada.

I’ll tell you what I unironically love about this: humans came up with this idea, humans wrote these lyrics, composed this song, performed it, filmed it, and edited it. 2026 could never. I’ll take this level of unhinged, “humans all the way down” marketing nonsense over anything made with AI.

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again

Screenshot of a tumblr post by user aureliobooks that reads: My dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. Sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.
