> I dont have a conclusion. Really, thats my current state: ambivalence. I acknowledge that these tools are incredibly powerful, Ive even started incorporating them into my work in certain limited ways (low-stakes code like POCs and unit tests seem like an ideal use case), but I absolutely hate them. I hate the way theyve taken over the software industry, I hate how they make me feel while Im using them, and I hate the human-intelligence-insulting postulation that a glorified Excel spreadsheet can do what I can but better.

* [Tomorrow might feel better - annie's blog][6]
> Anyway a good rule I read somewhere long ago is something like Never trust how you feel about your life after 9pm.
* [The Business of Empathy — The CEO of Kobo believes books can save us][7]
> Rakuten Kobos Michael Tamblyn believes that in an age of fragmented attention, books remain the deepest form of human connection.
* [Life Cannot Be Delegated - by L. M. Sacasas][8]
> Changing the filter, wiping noses, going to meetings, picking up around the house, washing dishes, checking the dipstick—don't let yourself think these are distracting you from your more serious pursuits. Such a round of chores is not a set of difficulties we hope to escape from so that we may do our practice which will put us on a path—it is our path.
* [Re-sourcing the Mind - by L. M. Sacasas][9]
> My contention, then, is that when we are confronted with the opportunity to outsource the labor of articulation, we will find that possibility more tempting to the degree that we experience a sense of incompetency and inadequacy, a sense which may have many sources, not least among which is the failure to stock our mind, heart, and imagination.
* [AI as Self-Erasure][10]
> As the father sits with pen and paper, he strives to encompass in words the elusive truth of his daughter, as seen from the unique vantage of a father, in a way fitting for this pivotal moment in the progression of her life. He may find that through the effort of articulating this relationship, it is more fully revealed to him. As Taylor says, the “right word” discloses, “brings the phenomenon properly into view for the first time. Discovery and invention are two sides of the same coin; we devise an expression which allows what we are striving to encompass to appear.”
* [Presets & Originality][11]
> To conclude from the outset, while I am involved in creating presets for commercial products, as a composer, I also use presets crafted by other sound designers without any modification. This choice is guided by a distinct aesthetic sensibility. In this essay, I aim to explore how presets are perceived from various perspectives, incorporating examples from 20th-century art, and propose an approach to them from a composer's standpoint.
* [The Tech Fantasy That Powers A.I. Is Running on Fumes - The New York Times][12]
> That is what I want to say every time someone asks me, “What about A.I.?” with the breathless anticipation of a boy who thinks this is the summer he finally gets to touch a boob. Im far from a Luddite. It is precisely because I use new technology that I know mid when I see it.
