Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

you can build a bunker for you and your retainers & you can hoard your power & fame, you can worship nothing but ambition or status and stand by while people you might be able to help--in big ways or small ways--go without. Or you can be Dolly. All these things are choices. She made good ones.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

"Writing is thinking" resonates extremely strongly with me. I can't find out what I think about some design knots until I'm writing and I have to decide what the next word is. Sometimes that leads to a dead end and I have to delete a paragraph and start over, but *that's the process.*

This is part of the reason why generative AI resonates with so many people. They want to HAVE WRITTEN or HAVE PAINTED, not actually do the work part. (Which, to be crystal clear, Zach and Kelly W DO.) I think it's an understandable human urge, but it leads to creative Hell if you give in to it.

when you make a very reasonable list of the things you want to get done today but one thing takes 5x longer than you thought it would and now you're too tired to do anything else so instead of feeling proud that you did a thing you beat yourself up for not finishing your list

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

Today's ADHD moment: *Finally* sitting down to watch "The Woman Called Fujiko Mine" ...Realizing that I bought it in the wrong region ...EIGHT YEARS AGO 🥴

Hey folks, About that AI opt-out feature Twitch was talking about? It's not just the streamers that have to turn that off. EVERYONE has to turn it off, because anything on your account, including the clips you make, will be fed to that infernal, ignominious devil machine if you don't. /1

This is one of my favorite kinds of endings for serialized stories. Conclusions are reached, goals are met, consequences doled out; but everyone lands in a new situation where you just HAVE TO see what’s next. The people cry out for season 2.
