I care about truth, creativity, nuance, and the human condition.
Doing something a bit new. A substack! Here is my first post...some unfiltered thoughts on chatbots. open.substack.com/pub/alwaysco...

I love science, but it takes more than science to sustain it. We talk so much about STEM, but it is things like art and the humanities that push and nurture the world.

In Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (arguably one of the best anime in a very long time), demons deceive through the use of human-like language. Their words evoke empathy from humans without knowing what empathy is themselves. I can't help thinking about modern AI each time I rewatch the anime.

Okay, brainstorming some more on this, but if we tagged news content with information about its newsworthiness, I think it could significantly help us swim through all of the noise: impact, urgency, proximity, prominence, and novelty. #ShapeOurOwnMedia

News bias is not just in how events are reported but also in what is being reported. When you watch a news stream or look at news from an algorithm, someone or something else is dictating what is important.

Do you think we can start coming up with hashtags to indicate the reason why certain news is newsworthy? People can then sort content based on the ways in which certain newsworthy events are newsworthy.

These seem like great book recommendations. I have gone through N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy and Octavia Butler's Dawn multiple times.
Another small selection of diverse fantasy book recs! (Part 2)
Tagging the authors in the comments if I can 📚🥰

If there are certain things in the news that are more like distractions and others with deeper consequences, I feel like we need a good taxonomy or system to distinguish different types of newsworthy events. Unsure what exactly this looks like for the moment.

Many people have lost faith in the mainstream media. If you truly believe that then we must learn and teach journalistic processes and integrity, critical thinking, and and respect for truth and the human condition.

Meta's decision to get rid of fact-checking is INSANE. Real fact-checking goes deep into primary sources, tracking down the origination of claims and their context. Community notes fail this, relying too much on secondary sources and political bias.

I keep thinking about the great spirits from The Legend of Korra. There is something very poetic about the ability of light to emerge from the darkness itself.
