Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Oh I get it now

Paused my heavy bench sets to go to therapy, entering a very Enlightened Beast sort of era. I'm going to be so normal soon.

Castle Rat are great but "hot babe sings and plays guitar" is peanut butter and "fantasy in metal" is chocolate, it's not exactly innovation to put two good things together, even if it's delicious.

I had to screen record this one, it’s so bad. A visual artist who has Claude develop a “shot list” from his notes. Embarrassing. Also pretty interesting how little of this is about AI? Three years in and this is the best they’ve got. Embarrassing! Shameful!

Worried that this teen girl I'm writing in my book won't be mean enough

Seeing tiktoks that have guys in motorcycle helmets or scream masks swaggering around with invisible lat syndrome never gets old. What else are you faking up in size, brother.

It's incredibly funny that reading is more attractive than writing. There's 4.4% of women out there going "oh you consume media? Hot. Wait you also CREATE it? Eww."

There's an increase of chaos by volume, true, but the dual raw expansion of number of people (volume) and also our exposure to it has also increased. Makes the average daily experience tantamount to just shoving your face into the writhing tentacles of madness, every day.
