@acegikmo 's latest video inspired me to finally release a very personal article I've cooked for a while. I considered using some slop as the cover image initially. But that would taint the personal nature, and after her speech at the end I for the first time decided to hand draw something. Thank you for the inspiring words of wisdom that I've felt for a long time but couldn't put into words.

So you want to get into electronics?

A thoughtful guide pointing you toward the right resources, skills, and ways to explore and get good at electronics.

As a technical person, I usually critique generative AI from a technical perspective - its use of unsustainable amounts of electricity, its lack of world model meaning its output is never going to be correct, the business models not adding up, training material getting harder to find now that much text on the Internet is AI slop, how its purported connections to AGI are impossible sci-fi smoke screens, etc.

However, we forget the humanities at our own peril. I found this latest video by @acegikmo to be worth watching for a critique from a social and artistic perspective.

And also for a reminder of how much barely coherent AI slop is out there when you actually count it, instead of almost subconsciously discarding it out of hand. Finding information in a field you have no prior knowledge of must be a horrifying experience nowadays.
