I don’t have a refutation on this.

I am anti-(murderous asshole). Wish that narrowed things down more.

AI is a lazy, bad, mediocrity-at-speed tool for writing. It is a *significantly* worse tool for getting published.

Using AI in the "creation process" is a hilarious diminishment of the ideas of both creation and process. "I will not apologize for my use of ordering Burger King in my hamburger creation process. I am just as much a chef as anyone." What an absolute spoon.

Articles of non-religious faith: 1) There is an objectively real, measurable thing called "the economy."

For me, AI’s appropriate role model in education is best understood by this question: Does AI promote critical thinking? It doesn’t. We should keep it the hell away from the classroom.

Every time I open the page proofs in Acrobat and it offers to save me time by summarizing the document, I smile and think "Fuck immediately and permanently off."

Why do I get the feeling that OpenAI is putting guardrails around its tests like adding the instruction "don't make things up."?

I admire the optimism of my brothers and sisters on the right who seem to be working under the assumption that we can get rid of immigrants and not have immigrant-majority economic sectors (housing construction, say) re-unionize.

I tried to do something new and interesting with a love potion story on a commission once. The editor agreed it was a fine story and refused to publish it. It’s an ugly, ugly space to play in.

Finally watched Obsession. I was pleasantly surprised. They did a good job making the traditional non-consent horror story unpleasant in new ways. It's like reading a cliche idea expressed in a new turn of phrase that lets you see it with fresh eyes. Also, goddam but Inde Navarette can act.

Seems to me that the real crisis of modern masculinity is that we have no dignified way to suffer longing. Seems to me that longing is a fundamental experience for men. Having it be laughable and pathetic adds injury to an unpleasant but very human experience.

Tariffs again? Are we already in reruns?

I have never found a combination of humiliation and gratitude to match having a beta reader explain how you showed your ass in a draft manuscript.

Wow. What an asshole. Block and move on, block and move on.

I love my Mustang Mach-E and expect I will never buy another internal combustion engine. It’s not about the morality. It’s just a more fun car.

We are in the most ruthlessly entertained society the world has ever seen, and we're so bored we keep reaching for outrage and drama to fill the time. It's a conundrum.

Behold Trump, savior of the little guy, once again draining the swamp for the benefit of rural America. But sure. Fuck my feelings. Let’s worry about brown people and trans folks. 😒
