This whole piece is a deeply thoughtful journey well worth taking, but the section about Miyazaki and Spirited Away is particularly salient.

AI 'deadbots' are persuasive — and researchers say they're primed for monetization

«Our fear of AI “damaging our brains” is actually a fear of our own laziness. The technology offers an easy out from the hard work of thinking, and we worry we'll take it.»
I wrote about "brain damage" from AI. Despite scary headlines, AI won't hurt you brain, but it can undermine your thinking and learning. Increasingly, however we are finding ways it can help us think and learn instead (some included prompt examples as well). www.oneusefulthing.org/p/against-br...

My most boomer trait is that I don’t like seeing those social media image posts that are just large text. Sorry but if it’s not a meme, it should have been a text post. What made you think you are deserving of larger font than everyone else

Never understood why people google for things like “{famous person} net worth”, spouse, height; but when I encounter a social media profile of a dog, I instantly pull up their profile page and rigorously scan it: what exact breed are they, how old, what is their weight? I need information

OpenAI scoring 85% on the ARC-AGI benchmark is really impressive and certainly took me by surprise, but the cost and compute power thrown at the problem is just staggering. Machines solving novel problems seems to be still just an expensive parlor trick. arcprize.org/blog/oai-o3-...

This, by @collinsworth.dev, was a great read. I’ve been writing vanilla JS for so long that I’ve fallen out of the loop when it comes to frameworks, and this essay serves not only as an overview of the space right now, but also as pointers for what to learn next. joshcollinsworth.com/blog/antiqua...
Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React
