Y'all wanna talk about plastic waste? Look at snack bags. If they filled the bags with snacks instead of air OR cut the size of the bag in half....

AI hot take (?)

It's taken a while to put this into words, but...

My gripe with AI isn't that it's deceiving, but that it's subtly deceptive. With Photoshop and CGI, I know what I'm seeing isn't real, for the most part (dragons, space pirates, etc). With the rise of AI, I have begun to scrutinize and examine to the extreme. My sense of wonder has been ruined; now I just wonder if it's AI.

And maybe it was the jolt I needed to stop taking things at face value, but I wonder, at what cost.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk™

PS

I think AI is useful as a tool, but not as a replacement for creativity.

What's the difference between patience and tolerance?

Introverts be like:

"Go outside? B-But there's people out there 😖"

Y'all getting introversion mixed up with social anxiety and it's driving me nuts....nuttier?

PSA

The distinction between an introvert and an extrovert is where their social battery is recharged/ depleted.

Introverts finds their energy by not being around people.

Extroverts conversely find their energy by being around people.

On days where I don't feel like giving 100%, I still give more than 0%.

And that's got to count for something.

There are things I didn't realize how badly I wanted until they were denied and unreachable.

My wings were cut off before I had a chance to fly.

Food for Thought

We should consume media the way food ought to be consumed.

Slow enough to healthily digest it.

I think I’m done apologizing for things that weren’t even my fault.
