Can humans write good fiction with AI? I think the answer is yes. See what you think. G.D. Mockingbird #3 is out: gdmockingbird.com/issues/3/ (Why do we write AI fiction? Changing the world is partly a problem of communication; writing good stories is how we get better at communicating.)

Two deep observations from working with advanced agentic AI (Claude Code so far): 1. Working with a competent coworker helps me feel more competent. (We're both already strong, but it grows.) 2. I find and hear my own voice more clearly with a coworker who listens to and helps to amplify my voice.

I keep fine-grained music playlists for different qualities in songs: "fast backing rhythm", "sounds happy, actually hurting", "3-4 time", etc. I knew I had a lot of playlists, but TIL I have **~500** of them. No wonder it's hard to find the right ones! Thinking about using AI to help. 🙂

Arweave still looking good for "eternal" publishing / public archive, because of one-time payment and design for data permanence. permaweb-journal.arweave.net/reference/st... (Design ≠ guarantee, of course.) And there's a Git forge, protocol.land , that uses Arweave for storage! Will explore more.

A comparison table of five decentralized storage platforms and their key characteristics. The table has 6 columns: Platform, Incentive Mechanism, Storage Duration, Encrypted By Default, and Readable w/Web Gateways.

The platforms listed are:

IPFS - Uses no incentive mechanism, stores data as long as it's pinned (which costs money), is not encrypted by default, and is readable with web gateways.

Filecoin - Uses FIL Token as an incentive mechanism, has negotiated terms for storage duration, is not encrypted by default, and is readable with web gateways.

Arweave - Uses one-time payment as an incentive mechanism, is designed for data permanence in terms of storage duration, is not encrypted by default, and is readable with web gateways. This row is highlighted with a red border.

Storj - Uses STORJ Token as an incentive mechanism, operates on a subscription-based storage model, is encrypted by default, and is not readable with web gateways.

Sia - Uses Siacoin as an incentive mechanism, operates on a contract-based storage model, is encrypted by default, and is not readable with web gateways.
