One of the main things in day to day life I am learning from AI is how dumb many people are. Wow!

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Jennifer Romig @jennifermromig.bsky.social · 4d ago

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

We have been convinced our preschooler was transitioning away from naps, vehemently against them, yet getting obviously overtired through the afternoon. Also developing strong resistance to bedtime. I just started trying these sleep meditation stories and they have worked unbelievably well

That is why some individual coders report such delight with their AI tools. They engage with those tools on their own terms, to improve their work in the ways that they, in their expert judgment, consider beneficial. 75/

Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/

every time you make chicken soup you should make one more quart than you think you can possibly eat so you can freeze it for the next time someone you love gets sick

REDWALL MENTIONED!!! (and also discussed in extreme detail) still no explanation on how they managed to evolve elaborate British-coded feasts

madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · 6d ago

Happy Friday everyone, as promised, here is my personal theory on this. I think Redwall takes place in our world, after an apocalyptic event of the nuclear variety caused rapid but varied growth of all animals, including humans, leading to our extinction and their mental development. Okay? 🧵

Fascinating analysis of LeGuin's Omelas not as much of a moral/utilitarian allegory, but as a discussion of the possibility of happiness without suffering and our ability or inability to conceive of it.

Typebar Magazine (Issue 10 Out Now!!)@typebarmagazine.bsky.social · last wk.

"Those who treat Omelas as a utilitarian allegory wish to view the child as a concession, a 'gotcha' moment illustrating the ethical quandary alleged to inhere in all joys and comforts. But such a reading is erroneous."
