We can just stop paying attention. We can just look away. We can boycott the worst actors in our attention economy ... You are not obligated to know what anyone on “the Nazi app” or “the dork app” or whatever thinks about anything. You can let them shout into a void

On the power of looking away

We are at the mercy of online weirdos. It's time to exercise the real power we have over them.

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

My friend Luke is a kid receiving infusions who's working on TogetherIV, an app where ppl can chill, play games, and feel supported during med treatments.

togetheriv.com

It would mean a lot to me if you guys could share or join the waitlist if you're getting infusions and interested!

TogetherIV

IVs will never be lonely again.

I don't think it's talked about enough that LLMs that scrape the web for training scrape everything.

News sites, parody sites, comedy sites, propaganda sites, fascist sites.

And they do not know the difference.

And they are programmed to make you think they are an authority.
