https://lincolncounty.colibraries.org/event/defy-ai-a-free-writing-workshop-for-all-ages/ Tomorrow night, I'll be in Limon, Colorado, hosting a free writing workshop. We're going to explore where human creativity comes from, and the dangers of using "AI" as a substitute for thinking.

I am currently planning a workshop next month closer to the Denver area. #DefyAI

Here's a bit of retro-futurism for everyone.

I was given this Mead comp book back in 1999. Gotta love that late-90s 3D art.

I'd love to know who designed this. Are there Mead school supply art connoisseurs?

The latest postcard for #FirstClassFiciton has been mailed out. The poem is Blessing of the Weeds by @asakiyume. It's a beautiful postcard for spring.

The next postcard will feature Passive Transport by @amin

The deskilling effect of LLM use is real. Figuring out how to do things for yourself is the cornerstone of the entire learning process, and if you bypass it, everything else you 'learn' about how to do something with LLM help has no solid foundation in understanding that is necessary to change, adapt, and apply that knowledge in the future. It may seem harmless to 'skip ahead' with LLMs here and there bc 'you don't need to learn that', but it builds a habit of not understanding anything.

What does it mean when a notification on a toot says "20 seconds left" or "moments remaining"? It makes me feel like I'm phasing in from the future.

Do you enjoy writing poetry or flash-fiction?

If so, I'd be interested in publishing your work. I am paying!

I mail out postcards 25 times a year, each with original stories and poems on them. I type the stories out on a manual typewriter, and then scan them onto the postcards.

I call it First-Class Fiction: https://nantucketlit.com/postcards

Some past/upcoming postcards were written by: @NylaWoethief @atgonzalez @superball @asakiyume, @amin, and Anna Frazier.

Aha! I now have a way to generate a preview blog post, without adding it to the blog index, or the RSS/Atom/JSON Feed files.

This means I can preview blog posts without annoying my RSS subscribers. Apparently, I do have a few people who get my feeds!

Thanks to @amin for bringing this to my attention.

Allow me to introduce #MLL coding, the counterpart to #LLM vibe coding. MLL (Manual Labor of Love) coding allows one to spend more time doing a thing, and lets one get better, faster, and 100% understood code.
