I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

I wake up in the morning.
I sit at my computer.
The internet screams at me that the world is on fire.
I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

Murder's bad. But I have to wonder if they'd be going to this level of trouble and expense had it been you or I that was killed.

the rich people pushing AI on everything are going to be the same rich people who will brag they can afford to send their kids to a school with human teachers

One big problem with induction stoves is that you'll be trying to heat up some soup or whatever but it will keep drawing general principles from specific instances

Seems to me we could just as easily replace the founders with AI without the negative impact to society.

“Every creative artistic act is a partial transfiguration of life. In the artistic concept man breaks out through the heaviness of the world. In the creative-artistic attitude towards this world we catch a glimpse of another world.” — Nikolai Berdyaev, The Meaning of the Creative Act #philosophy

Huh. I guess I now get Audible rolled in with my Prime. I'll be traveling. Can anybody recommend a good Phenomenological audio book there? Or anything close?

What we *really* need are Venn diagrams of all these starter packs. That *alone* would be worth the prices of admission.

Has anyone compiled a #Typelevel #Scala starter pack yet?

If I'm mostly quiet here, it may be because, these days, I'm unpersuaded about persuasion; at least in a medium such as this.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

I think our anemic conception of teams is where we tend to fall down. Whatever it is that you're trying to fix, start with your teams. *Then* let's talk.
