Trending Stocks 📈Feeling Useless Against AI - Sam Altman on Theo Von
João Sevilhano100 Subscribers!
I'm humbled and grateful to reach this milestone... No! Actually, i'm unreasonably excited about a number that's laughably small by internet standards.
100 people have subscribed to a publication about #uselessness. We find that wonderfully contradictory.
Useful Uselessness began as an experiment: could a publication dedicated to questioning utility itself find an audience in a world obsessed with optimization? These 100 subscriptions say yes. Or at least maybe.
WIST Quotations Has Moved!A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Let mine not be the saddest fate of all,To live beyond my greater self; to see
My faculties decaying, as the tree
Stands stark and helpless while its green leaves fall.
Let me hear rather the imperious call,
Which all men dread, in my glad morning time,
And follow death ere I have reached my prime,
Or drunk the strengthening cordial of life’s gall.
The lightning’s stroke or the fierce tempest blast
Which fells the green tree to the earth to-day
Is kinder than the calm that lets it last,
Unhappy witness of its own decay.
May no man ever look on me and say,
“She lives, but all her usefulness is past.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
Poem (1882), “Uselessness,” Maurine and Other Poems (1882 ed.)

WIST Quotations moves again!A quotation from Fry, Stephen:
«««««
Come to think of it, I don’t know that love has a point, which is what makes it so glorious. Sex has a point, in terms of relief and, sometimes, procreation, but love, like all art, as Oscar said, is quite useless. It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too…
