Remember when I said AI is for people who think ideas are hard?
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

AI comes from the people who think ideas are hard.
I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.
A.I. and the Fetishization Of Ideas
In writing and in dispensing my (very dubious, probably shady) writing advice, I am often keen to note that ideas are bullshit. Most writers treat them like precious gems when really, ideas are lik…

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Someone’s going to have to talk hard and fast to convince me not to use the Tao of Pooh.
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

I hate the entire concept of draft lotteries.
I’d you want to disincentivize tanking, distribute draft picks based on being close to the middle, not the bottom.
