I harbour no delusion that my individual refusal will slow AI’s death drive to destroy societal trust and goodwill any more than I believe that Jeff Bezos is personally mourning money I’m not spending in his little shoppe.

My refusal is a philosophical position more than it is a practical one, in the same way that my decisions not to use Amazon or Netflix or Spotify do more to introduce friction into my life in service of an abstract ideal than it does to actually engender pain for the corporate oligarchs I despise.

We did Exquisite Corpse drawings after a big project - prompt was to draw 'super heroes' and 'villains' found along the way to celebrate wins and identify learning opportunities. Everyone gets to draw quietly in small groups and then share laughs about the results.💛 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisi...

Oh my! Thanks for posting - a good reminder how fragile the 🧠 is and how trauma can affect ANYONE'S...
I had 🧠 surgery in 2020 and am still not 100% so I know this kind of temp disability can be hard to admit (and/or accept) - TY for sharing. Glad you have friends that have your back👍 Take care!

Wow - glad to see this revision, thanks for posting! I'm a pro front-end dev who doesn't use frameworks and couldn't believe I was part of just 2%... I do work alone, but I definitely don't do this s* as a 'hobby' 😆 Surveys/stats are weird - I share @cferdinandi.bsky.social's skepticism/questions
