“Gods speak, spirits speak, computers speak. Oracular ambiguity or statistical probability provides loopholes, and discrepancies are expunged by Faith.” — Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness, 1969

Updated version! doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Now with the priceless Ursula Le Guin epigraph that I had been saving but for this piece and also with a ref to @olivia.science's amazing new paper "What does 'human-centred AI' mean?", out today in Behav Sci www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/16...

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

I learned SO much more and without as much stress, taking Dual Enrollment courses through our schools partnership with the local community college.

AP classes are NOT worth it!!!

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose.

AI will never fill that void.

Grammarly shows how prototyping turned into an excuse for not thinking The industry is in the grip of directionless urgency, and users are paying the price. Strategy has been replaced with half-baked features.

Grammarly made an AI to sell shitty writing advice with famous writers' names on it.

This bullshit illustrates a trend in the tech industry: shipping features as quickly as you can write lines of code, with no way to tell if they are any good until something breaks or someone sues you.

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

Does Daylight = Sunshine? Cause some lady sold me a pocketful like 20 years ago, and IDK what to do with it.

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process.

The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail.
