    We’re all living through a crisis of agency, at least online. Bots, algorithms, clip armies, & the flood of AI stuff have scrambled notions of popularity, turned everything into a ‘psyop’. AI tools/ agents are reversing the fundamental human, collaborative promise of the internet

    the u.s. virus response feels so much like our response to gun violence. seems easy to prevent! others have! but it's not 'who we are.' a certain idea of freedom makes it impossible. so we move on and just learn to accept a level of human loss that other countries won't tolerate.

    know its obvious but the possible arc of supreme court justice dies weeks before election, asks not to be replaced, is immediately set to be replaced, resulting in celebration & the celebration becomes superspreader event sending president to hospital is difficult to fully grasp

    this is what innovation looks like: using generative AI to do things that you absolutely could do with very little effort but won't because you're unspeakably lazy

    Wrote about the Musk texts. What I found illuminating about the messages is just how unimpressive, unimaginative, and sycophantic the powerful men in Musk’s contacts appear to be. Just overconfident dudes winging it
