Fun fact: the first syllable of this town is pronounced like the first syllable of the name Patrick. Yeah it’s kinda near Rio Grande. No, it’s not pronounced like the river. Welcome to Ohio?

George Saunders on using AI: "Writing is the most precious way one person can communicate their essence to another person. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to get better at making myself present in my writing. Why would I want to sacrifice even one iota of that?"

Have you spent time trying to write or revise with AI? Is there an experiment that would be interesting enough to try?

I have not. Not for a second. To me, this whole idea of using AI to write is . . . anathema. A thing to be most radically avoided.

Writing is the most precious way one person can communicate their essence to another person. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to get better at making myself present in my writing. Why would I want to sacrifice even one iota of that? Not even in an email and certainly not in a short story or novel.

Who are we ceding our authority to, exactly, when we let AI write for us? And why? Why surrender our agency (that amazing ability we have to reach across time and space, with our strange, idiosyncratic phenomenon, and land within the sensibility of another human being) to something that, by its very design, pushes the individual sensibility aside? And in the name of . . . what, exactly? Ease, I guess? Efficiency? The person who chooses to write with AI has also sacrificed, from the start, the opportunity of experiencing difficulty, of struggling to say what he wants to say, of making himself evident in his prose, of trying to find out what he believes. By this, he sacrifices a chance to know himself and his mind better. To me, that’s a shame. And it’s dangerous, because, as we are now finding out, it affects the brain and lessens our capabilities. Thanks, but no thanks, get thee behind me, etc.

The last time the Reds successfully converted a save opportunity in the postseason was Game 2 of the 1995 NLDS against the Dodgers. Brett Butler, who turns 70 in 8 months, played in that game.

We need to start saying to people, "have the evening you're owed" instead of "have the evening (or day/week/month/year) you deserve" because this shit should be retroactive, imo.

This is my normal route, and now my *backup* route to my folks’ place is close to being underwater. Needs to stop raining down here. (I know several more ways to get there, and their house is on a hill so they’ll be fine, but the situation is not great for many others in SE Ohio)

The offseason is looming and yes I will miss watching MLB, but this is the worst I’ve felt about the Reds in a very long time. Idk if it’s bc everything else is also bad or if the long, long years of losing have finally ground any faint optimism I had left into dust.
