Winner of the Fediverse, 2025. 🏆
I do things with computers. Unspeakable things.
I also write Overmorrow, a newsletter about technology and my problematic relationship with it.
If AI is inevitable, why are they upset about the critics?
If there's that much real demand for it, why is it so unpopular?
If it could actually do your job, why haven't they replaced you?
If it wasn't a bubble, why are they afraid of it popping?
If this was a better use for all of these now-unaffordable components then what you were going to do with them, then why isn't your (anyone's?) life better now?
If the AI trade makes sense, why is only one major tech firm making a profit on it?
"But I could post four pictures in the time it takes me to write alt text for one!"
Yeah. I'm sure you could.
I could throw four pieces of garbage in the general direction of the trash can in the time it takes me to walk over and make sure one piece goes into it. But I care about what it's like to live in my house, so I take that time.
“People are only going back to Twitter because Bluesky and Mastodon are so anti-AI” is a truly epic failure of reason-washing.
