we are going to use more machines than ever before to become better humans.
Evidently…
this is ERRANT BULLSHIT
…I do still remember the excitement of 25 year-old me finally seated in front of the Mac I had implored my boss to get.
I do still remember the excitement of designing my frst web page in 1997.
I do still remember the excitement, circa 2004/5, of letting @Meyerweb and @malarkey and @rachelandrew and countless others subsequently (🙏) show me how to code for a humane web.
I still love that *craft*.
But the very act of touching its interfaces is now daily poisoned by tsunamis of digital shit
Emma (has_many_books of old)@urlyman @Meyerweb @malarkey @rachelandrew I was thinking that about that cat-satsuma-eye-of-sauron meme a moment ago. The delight of seeing something funny on the internet -- a genuine photo of human daftness -- and how incomparable it is with shitty AI images.
@urlyman @Meyerweb @malarkey @rachelandrew and how tainted I feel whenever I brush up against it. And complicit.
@emma yep.
Playful daftness, lightly mediated by machines, is glorious.
Recursive distrust and relentless marketing is hateful.
