Me: Bad at math, probably had dyscalculia in school
Also me: tossed into advanced math classes in school as a way to make me focus (Spoiler: it didn't)
Me now: Y'know what this story needs is an intricate set of clues of increasing difficulty that require a decent head for math to understand.

Which is why so many AI features are just about “summarizing” or “extracting key points” from emails/pdfs/reports.
They can’t envisage anything outside of a pure “efficiency” model.

fwiw, for me the whole discourse about AI "summarizing" materials comes from the idea that doing the Humanities is "easy" and books/ articles are simply information conveyance mechanisms, not the thing they are - knowledge creation machines with nuanced arguments

Welp. It finally happened: an AI band popped up on my music playlist 😒
a man in a suit is saying for that reason i 'm out .
Alt: Mark Cuban, on Shark Tank, delivers his classic line, saying, "For that reason, I'm out."

If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything In touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me.
