1/ About "Lateral Thinking Withered Technology" 「枯れた技術の水平思考」 Gunpei Yokoi, one of the main architects of Nintendo's original Game Boy, and many other hits like Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, etc -- I think this used to be one of his mottos. An interesting thing that Nintendo did was they meticulously understood that their way of competing with the market was not latest state of the art technology -- but rather to utilize mature (used to be cutting edge but now is now) technology - to do something fun, exciting and give an experience to the customer There's a story about How Yokoi and his team was about to release the Game Boy, and some Nintendo engineer got concerned about a competitors product. Yokoi asked them, is the screen color? and they said yes (the original gameboy was monochrome) and he was like phew, that's great. They constrained themselves to use a "reliable" technology like monochrome displays at the time which cost significantly less - and had longer battery life

New library almost done, can't wait to fill it with all my books 🥰 I've designed and built lots furniture but this has been the most complex and challenging by far. In the past I have mostly worked with plywood. For this project I wanted to build out of solid oak and use Japanese joinery techniques. [1/3]

Also, I think artwork especially in the form of entertainment synchronizes various intents and distributes ideas that aid in the formation of meaning and identity. My question that arises, what is the origin and nature of these wishes?

On my hike I reasoned that teleportation is possible. The reason is because I think that technology in its current form is clunky but progresses in achieving in translating our desires, wishes, intents and whys into reality. Tech isn’t there yet. Maybe one day.

A question: What is not on the internet? A surprisingly thought provoking question. One guess as to why ChatGPT was possible is the data around language & how we behave through language was abundant on the internet at time of training It turns out there's surprisingly a lot that's not on the internet

@eshear points out that modern artists already employ other artists to produce the work. This is true. https://x.com/eshear/status/1733907285754216881?s=46
