”Productivity is a recent invention; wintering is not.”
Paul SchoeAnother quote from Westenberg's article here about OpenAI:
"... believers .... who treat confusion as evidence of their own limited understanding rather than evidence that the thing they’re looking at is, in fact, confused."
I love this quote in Westenberg's article here about OpenAI:
"Every failure becomes a setup for a future success that never arrives, and every scandal a distraction from a larger game that never materializes.
The goalposts disappear entirely, because the frame has become unfalsifiable; any outcome can be absorbed into the theory.
If the plan works, it was genius. If it doesn’t, the real plan hasn’t been revealed yet."

Notes on going solo: celebrating 6 years of Studio Self
Since roughly // broadly 2020, I’ve been running a solo-powered minor empire. I have no employees, and my only office is my home office, filled as it is with cat hair and various comic books. My business is: me, a laptop, a set of AI tools that scale the parts
Aina kiinnostava. Tällä kertaa muun muassa siitä, miten siirretään AI:lle kaikki tylsä, joka vie aikaa luovalta ajattelulta, ja miten luodaan toimiva yhden ihmisen yritys.
”My theory is that messaging and work that sounds like it was produced by an actual human with actual taste and actual opinions (even if those opinions run the risk of being ~wrong) are going to stand out more than ever. Which is, I suspect, going to be seen as the great irony of the AI era. The technology that makes it trivially easy to create competent creative work simultaneously makes merely competent creative work nearly worthless. The value transfers to the staff that can’t be generated: points of view, idiosyncrasies, judgements, strong opinions. The premium shifts from execution to context, and personal // individual context will always beat documented context.”

Odotan aina #westenberg in tekstejä, ja jo harkitsen maksullista (2,50 $ kuussa) tilausta. Tällä kertaa teksti on itsestä ja omasta kehosta projektina.
”The self that comes from years of successful optimization is “useful” and some might call it “finished.” But the self that is only discovered through years of purposeful uselessness is unfinished, and by that virtue, it is full of possibility and gifted with the unknown.
The gym won't give you that. Knowing your testosterone levels to two decimal places won't tell you a single damned thing about what you're supposed to do with your time on earth, which is, in the end, the only question worth spending your life on.”

Niiiiin pidän tästä. Ajattelemisen aihetta antoi, taas, #Westenberg
”The barely tolerated Monday is a down payment on a life that never arrives, a perpetual advance payment for goods that don't ship.”
Työelämän (suunnilleen ihmisen ikävuodet 25-65) aikana ihminen elää yhteensä reilu 2.000 maanantaina. Ja 2.000 tiistaita. Ja… yhteensä runsaat 10.000 arkipäivää. Osa niistä on lomapäivä, jossakin työ- ja vapaapäivien suhde on 19:1, Suomessa aika paljon parempi. Niitä työmaanantaita - ja tiistaita ja… - kuitenkin on ihan riittävästi.
Minulla ne ovat vihdoin takanapäin. Pidinkö, nautinko niistä? Pitkään kyllä, jossakin vaiheessa en enää.
