We shaped our society and minds such that growing AI is inevitable. It’s gonna break a ton of things. It’s the rebuilding that will be exciting to me, and that won’t happen for a while yet—we haven’t yet been broken. The rooms that matter aren’t the ones that are important today

The shame/deserve angle doesn't land for me (I don't think I understand "deserve" as a concept) I do rediscover this occasionally as obligation/pleasure or obligation/this-is-actually-better-overall tho

Vgr argues humans love managing: basically the go-to free time activity. But that it’s done as “play” bc of the cost of coordinating others. But, given AI, coordination costs are tiny so now we can dedicate our free time to management that isn’t just play.

Small talk lover here: Small talk sets the tone for the interaction. Most communication is non-verbal, you see. What you say is nothing compared to how you say it. It’s a vehicle to transmit a vibe. Getting good at small talk is getting good at connecting to people.

It is a deep privilege when your kids still talk to themselves out loud unselfconsciously. That window will close and never reopen 😭

I swear this era of inept text generation tells us something deep about vision-language models but I can't make it out. I bet j⧉nus et al would have something interesting to say on it.
