That was 100% what it was for me until that movie. Junior high English did me no favors there.

People who say "AI is just going to make art better and cheaper" either know little about art, know little about AI, or are just trying to sell AI.

In some cases, these are the same people.

People already crave human-made art. They're driven to make it, they're need it to get through the day.

Art is as optional to being human as breathing.
What is the point of making art in this world when Al is just going to do it better and cheaper anyway?? There's no reason to create anymore. We consume art to feel closer to humanity. Lean into the humanity behind your art, people are going to start craving it. The Case for Making Art When the World Is on Fire | Amie McNee | TED

The 1993 film of this play was the first time I ever realized how GOOD and RELATABLE Shakespeare can be. Until then, I had only ever read it on the page, understanding not a word.

This clip, too, is even better.

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

Me: What are you doing over there?
Cindy: Winning.
A Settlers board laid out. A single player has placed all of their pieces on the board unchallenged—even using walls as roads. This player has acquired every single development card. They have 22 points in a game where 10 points wins. A dry erase board says, unnecessarily, "I won!"

They are bullies, and they will back down.

If they were in the right (or had a warrant), they wouldn't give up and run away.

When I'm working fast on multiple things and I've CTRL+C'd something, I often forget what it was BUT also feel it in my head, like a mental weight.

You too?

3948 - I'm thankful my window of tolerance has increased enough that I can enjoy running two Cypher games at once (and even consider running a third).
