I got into tech because it’s fun to take things apart, see how they work, and put them back together — or rearrange the parts into something brand new. it definitely feels like the new ethos is “bro why bother to learn? caring about that stuff is cringe, just go FAST bro” and that bums me out
the main thing that makes me uneasy about llms is the cultural backdrop of global war on knowledge. the war on knowledge isn’t new but now it’s cheered on from tech too. tools for thought pivoted to slot machines because that’s what people want. “how things work” is buried under opaque indirections

Inspired by awesome folks like @cassidoo.co and Damola Morenikeji, I've published an /ai page on my website, giving specific examples of how I use (or don't use) AI for use-cases such as:
🤖 Conversations
🤖 Code generation
🤖 Content creation
Consider being transparent with an /ai page of your own!
