this feeling when you ask a really simple question and forget to switch from o3 to 4o

“user wants to know how much 2*2 is, let me check the relevant sources…”

i’m all in on the social graph

but there’s also another paradigm 

where the content itself matters infinitely more than the account it came from

Books

Sometimes I read a book - it only takes a few pages, especially an author I’ve never read before - and I think to myself - holy shit I'm going to love this book

i’ve got the same with people

@july is undoubtedly one of them

i care a lot about the little details

and i’m really grateful for that

when i see something good, i can feel how much love and care went into it

and as a creator myself, that’s something i hope people notice in our work too

i don’t need to be told — i just like knowing there are people out there who see it

and if you’ve put love and care into what you do, i can guarantee that i and many others will see it too

AI is only going to make logic increasingly abundant and commoditized

So, actually having a sense of how you feel, what makes you happy, what makes you sad, actually real aesthetic judgement, poetic resonance, intuition -- is ultimately going to be the differentiator between a lot of things most people create irregardless of what you use to make what you want to say. 

Who you are is going to matter more than ever, and if you don't know who you are, that's ok, but if you do, holy shit watch out
