In intellectualism I see the suborn stance, that people enjoy doing their own thinking.

Haha, so now I am considering saying "anti intellectual" instead of genai whenever I refer to these big algorithms that are engineered not to be understood.
I see the contrarian in me talking, deliberately using terms to confuse, to point to a viewpoint that gets too little light.

Does the calapsing of the genai bubble mean that remote CPU and GPU time will become dirt cheap? Are there researchers out there for who this is currently a bottleneck? I guess rendering farms will also be affected?

Every time the solution gets proposed, "let's just kill our enemies", I feel we have made another revolution, and are back to square one. I say this, because a cherished part inside me, believes that our systems "don't work for anyone, if they do not work for everyone".

I commonly hear parents of young children complaining that their child learned to say "no". I also commonly hear people my age and older, saying they either they wish they knew how to say "no", or how important they see this skill for people. Maybe these groups of people could learn from one another? Maybe parents could let people borrow their children, so that they can learn more about how to say "no".

I see a stubborn part of me, that doubts the good bad distinction, at least in the sense that all peoples have a beautiful core, behind the gnarled hurt struggling facad that does not know to say "please".

If we are alive, and interacting with other living beings, we are going to cause harm to one another some of the time. A dynamic that I often see: Someone inflicts harm, because they want to make visible the harm that was done to them. And then, the whole legal apparatus jumps into action, making sure they get labeled and compartmented away. And, I see some of my work, to hold space, to untangle all the blame and all the competing for who is more the victim. Because someone has to start with the work of listening.

It is strange, as I grow older, I have less time left, but I grow more patient.
