Work like mine has almost no representation in David’s book. There’s a ruthlessness that’s taken hold across all strata of cultural making (and life itself). Everything turned into a casino, “traps” galore. Billions as the only goal. Achieved celebrity? Start a coffee brand (or gin brand, or tequila brand; I’m shocked nobody is selling their own cigarettes). Leave “nothing on the table.” Epicurean maximizing. That sort of thing. The whole world in a swivet about every dumb breath by some dumdum. AI now turning the future protean. Models upending models within days. Solid ground made liquid for the next decade.
Trying to publish artefacts from the things I work on. Mostly design and software, focused on interfaces that are practical and flexible.
Also a reading log.
