This place is real, but it's also an amalgamation of memories. The way we remember a landscape can be very different from its literal appearance. Some things become larger and clearer, others smaller and fuzzier. 🧵

Today the fear is that Untwined will be too much for people. Too bleak, too loud in its suffering. I wrote it to convey hope, but my hope often looks like anger, confusion, and tears. Gritted teeth and clenched fists. Incomplete and imperfect. I hope and I think it can resonate but...yeah. I worry 😅

We're on the verge of choosing our #SPSFC #SPSFC5 finalists! I've been busy reading, reviewing, and scoring for the last couple of weeks. See what I thought of some of the semifinalists! 💙📚 #scifi #scifibooks #indiebooks @spsfc.bsky.social

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

Sam Altman: cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night: connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests. every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

this is where I currently stand. this well has been poisoned. I agree that I would like an unpoisoned well, but you can not convince me that I need to drink from the poisoned well just because I agree that water is important.

You can resist. You can't resist every time, but you can in one thing or two. Three, perhaps. And you can resist today, even if maybe tomorrow you won't be able to. Then maybe you'll resist again. It matters. Every single time. This post is about genAI and global warming and hellscape capitalism.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
