People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

I am totally going to see Eddington (and am frankly surprised it's coming to England) because I lived in New Mexico in 2020. I'm excited to see how it'll show up on film, and also excited that some people will learn what it is and stop thinking that I moved to the UK from (old) Mexico.

three thoughts on AI this morning: 1. AI is changing how we speak. this reminds me of how big systems (countries, religions) tend to end up with everyone within them speaking at least one language in common. (YES THIS IS COMPLEX and sometimes enforced ie bad.) www.theverge.com/openai/68674...

You sound like ChatGPT

AI isn’t just impacting how we write — it’s changing how we speak and interact with others. And there’s only more to come.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France.
So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness.
There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time.
Good luck, and love as always

I wrote an essay about how good experience design is like Sesame Street and now I have no idea what to do with it. This isn't what I was supposed to be writing a book about!
