I think you're right unless the person is disabled or almost anyone inside of an extreme religious context, or a context where they are a member of a small minority group. But these exact arguments were made about book publishing, as t

I feel like you would love the book "Simulacra and Simulation" by Jean Baudrillard. It agrees with you, and there's a sense in which you're right. I wonder what you think our eyes are doing, though, and what you think ma

I don't think the intentions of those men matter, though, when it comes to whether or not they are creating new mediums for self expression. It won't be those men who make the art. Most of Michaelangelo's working artistic lif

I doubt this will remain niche. Clothing was niche at one point. So was plastic surgery. Image filters are now ubiquitous. Also, I lived through the Second Life and Warcraft eras. Many people hunger for a form that wasn't just given to

Yeah, this is how I feel. "Reality" is already heavily mediated. Why are people so enraged that a person might want to mediate or enhance it further? Often lately the same people who claim they value "creativity" and &qu

This feels like I'm reading a comment written by anti-video game moms in the early 90s talking about the stupid unfashionable nerds and how they were ushering in a frightening new age of fewer values and greater social isolation. I dun

I agree! Especially now that the data analysis tools have been integrated by default. It even writes and executes code to validate most of its mathy answers. I tried for a few months to find a good Physics tutor for my high school-aged daug

This is basically how I respond to requests myself. Sometimes a single short sentence will cause me to slowly spit out a few words. Other times I can respond instantly to paragraphs of technical information with high accuracy and detailed e

Every time this happens at the companies I’ve worked at, it’s been because the business didn’t think the need was worth prioritizing over the other business needs. I’ve never been in an environment where IT got to make the decisions about w

I guess this makes sense if you don’t use a Second Brain/PARA/Zettelkasten/etc. system, but my entire life is structured around Obsidian (at home) and OneNote (at work). If you’re just throwing notes into a note-taking app wi
