Being frustrated with your own efforts to create a particular effect but learning to celebrate the triumph of skill acquisition > being frustrated with a machine that continuously misunderstands your instructions and then makes you feel bad about your skill level.

Here in Seattle, candidates routinely win when Amazon overplays their hand. In 2019 AMZ dumped $1.5M into city council elections, doubling their PAC $$ from 2015. Progressives screamed about it, fomented a backlash & AMZ ended up losing 5 out of 7 races. & Musk is 1000x more hated than AMZ

Would sure be nice to see more candidates explicitly running against this. Elon spending money for your opponent is a GIFT, Democrats. Voters hate this shit. They hate this guy specifically. Break out the big bats and go after it!

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

if you live in seattle you'll notice that virtually every newspaper runs nonstop headlines suggesting that katie wilson is inept, inexperienced, and too mushy feely (girl-coded). i have never in my life seen such overt hit pieces on an elected official in this city, and we've had some bad ones lmao

Wall Street Journal apparently missed how Seattle police has access possibly illegally to vastly more cameras than known. Reported by the Seattle Times days ago. Also seems to put council failings at mayor's feet.

True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

We should treat genAI in publishing the way you’d treat a vampire trying to enter your home. You never give it permission to enter. It doesn’t matter if it‘s polite or makes generous offers or it’s *only* going to take the ones *you* don’t care about. It’s here for your blood. Don’t let it in.
