While traveling these last two weeks, I've had time to think about what the heck is going on with AI, AGI and well ... life. What exactly is the rush and where are we going - on a personal level?

paco xander nathan@pacoid.bsky.social · last yr.Each and every one of these twenty points from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is brilliant and vital, although the one which lurks far too close to home is #9 in the following skeets. broligarchy.substack.com/p/how-to-sur...
Can't look away or Had Enough - either one just seems to hit at the core of where we're at right now.
I’ll be excited when people stop calling writers who don’t use AI in their work, “fearful” and “luddite.”

We find ourselves here, in the midst of existence, with no memory of choosing it. Perhaps that's the only real condition of being alive - that we don't remember signing up for any of this. ->
L A Chambers@linguamachina.bsky.social · 2y agoIt feels so weird to read an endless series of tragic events and then put down my phone, make a cup of tea and carry on with my workday. I don’t know how to hold and exist in both realities.
Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.
Professor Wolff gave his thoughts and analysis on what the new Trump Presidency means and how we may react. Painful at times to take in, upsetting realities and a thoughtful message for the end. Recommended. He's gets it.

Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 2y agoNOTABLE: DOJ determines that a Jan. 6 defendant who was convicted of a firearm offense based on a search of his home must return to prison because the firearm charge is NOT covered by Trump's pardon.

With everyone all in a flutter about DeekSeek’s LLM, I thought it would be useful to bring a wider context to the discussion. I hope you find this helpful. This is both an audio and text version. In the audio version I add additional commentary.
