I am seriously tempted to get a typewriter for first drafting. But it's going to have to go in an ai-slop machine at some point at which point, it'll have no version history and therefore will look ai generated. Ha ha ha oh god

"we hear you saying you absolutely do not under any circumstances want this AI clownslop and we promise we are working on solutions to make this AI clownslop even better so it can do even more things that you never wanted done!"

Jay: We hear the concerns about AI. Our goal is to use this technology to give people greater control, not to generate content. Attie uses AI to help you create custom feeds without having to know how to code.

Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

My friend: we're in (small town in Wales) and the book shop has your book! Me: cool! That's near my parents and they've harassed the book shop into stocking it 🤣 My friend: we're now arguing about who gets to buy the last one.

In totally inconsequential stuff I just finished the Shivering Isles expansion of Oblivion Remastered and I think it is my favourite Elder Scrolls DLC. The SI landscape recalls Morrowind and Bliss/Crucible might be the best ES city ever.
