I gave a talk at the final XOXO conference.

At first, I thought I'd revisit my first talk from ten years ago. But it turned into something different. Something about life, and art, and… McDonalds?

19 minutes. Try to go in without spoilers and watch until the end. 🙏

don't forget that text replacements are extremely useful, and even sync between iOS and macOS! very handy:
a list of automatic text replacements, including parentheses c turning into ©, xx turning into ×, and bal turning into Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

riveted by this disneyland concept art. the powerfully intense oil painting filter, the huge amount of sharpening, the hand-drawn "artist concept only", and a boat full of people looking at everything BUT the actual new thing (Rapunzel's Tower)

it’s ok to just say “i enjoy bullying people online”. i would respect
the honesty! you didn’t even get your facts right in your first attempt, which means you enjoy the bullying part way more than the truth part. just own it and stop trying to dress it up as a noble cause

then don’t reply? yet here we are

fwiw, my point is only about the people out there who sling terms like “delusional” and “brain-poisoned” which do nothing to foster interesting conversation about the points being made and only just serve to insult — and make themselves feel briefly superior. it’s just so weird to see nerd bullies.

i appreciate that!! i just detected big self-irony in saying “i don’t want to defend this person i don’t know” and then kind-of doing it 😅

it’s like… punching sideways. you think you’re doing the right thing and fighting power, but it’s entirely based on a construct *you* created of who the other person is and where they stand compared to you… which may or may not be right. you never really know.

plus… you’re still punching!

kiiiiind of because generally speaking private equity does not want to talk about private equity 😅

i don’t know anything about anything but i’d be really really weird if they silently deleted somebody’s innocent post? what did the post say and was the user not notified? not saying it’s impossible, just… unusual!! if true, worrying for sure!

"guys come on let's stop fighting!!!" —me, about to get the internet wedgie of the century, probably

i interpreted this as bigotry towards people who post about ai, not about ai itself. that’s just me though this is all above my pay grade

just fyi i’m 95% sure this is satire.
