You say "it's cheaper/easier to do [X] with AI than to pay a person to do it, but actually it's not. You're just not the one fronting up the cash or energy.

True for many things we take for granted in modern society, but big AI/tech companies with record amounts of debt have taken it to an extreme.

A quotation from Herman Hesse

Now the bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self (rudimentary as his may be). And so at the cost of intensity, he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he does comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire. The bourgeois is consequently by nature a creature of weak impulses; anxious, fearful of giving himself away and easy to rule. Therefore, he has substituted majority for power, law for force, and the polling booth for responsibility.
 
[Der Bürger nun schätzt nichts höher als das Ich (ein nur rudimentär entwickeltes Ich allerdings). Auf Kosten der Intensität also erreicht er Erhaltung und Sicherheit, statt Gottbesessenheit erntet er Gewissensruhe, statt Lust Behagen, statt Freiheit Bequemlichkeit, statt tödlicher Glut eine angenehme Temperatur. Der Bürger ist deshalb seinem Wesen nach ein Geschöpf von schwachem Lebensantrieb, ängstlich, jede Preisgabe seiner selbst fürchtend, leicht zu regieren. Er hat darum an Stelle der Macht die Majorität gesetzt, an Stelle der Gewalt das Gesetz, an Stelle der Verantwortung das Abstimmungsverfahren.]

Herman Hesse (1877-1962) German-born Swiss poet, novelist, painter
Steppenwolf, “Treatise of the Steppenwolf,” ch. 2 (1927) [tr Breighton (1929)]

@ilovecomputers 🎯 I remember a #search machine developped by an university in the early 1990s (?), before #Google came up. They found the best content, even for very complicated scientific searches, they found the smallest private website on any island in the Pacific, or in Asia, Africa. The world outside the USA was still connected.

They were destroyed by Google and the users prefering the #convenience of the biggest, believing their hollow promises. The biggest got the money for development.

On the Convenience of Buses Making Self-Driving Cars Obsolete

In the last two days I ran 8.7 and 7.6km. I also walked 7km and 6 or more kilometres. I'm also recovering from a cold. That's why yesterday I broke a fundamental rule, by catching a bus.

For clarity, I am opposed to buses because their frequency is low, and at 3 CHF per trip per direction the bus is an expense I don't need, as I am happy to walk.

Last night was different in two key way. The first is that it was around 23:30 and getting home faster made sense. The second is that the people I was with were also taking buses or trains. We still took three different trains and buses but the departure times were similar.

In the process I saw how fast and convenient the bus is. Within a few seconds you get from A to B, and within a few minutes you're at your destination. The price was 2.40 CHF. I thought it was more. I think it was about 1.90 or so before. I don't remember.

The trip takes 9 minutes down to Nyon by bus, and 6 minutes by bike. It takes about 28 minutes on foot but that is distracting us.

The convenience of Buses Replacing Self Driving Cars

Years ago I overtook someone driving beneath the speed limit, and it was serious enough for me to lose the right to drive for a month. I saw this as a legitimate excuse not to drive. This was an opportunity to take advantage of a new freedom.

When you drive you become traffic. You need to be attentive to what others are doing ahead and behind you. You also have to be attentive to the road. You can't be distracted by your phone. This means that for every commute you need to be focused for the entire time. If you take buses, and trains you get an added bonus. You get the daily walk from your home to the bus, and from the bus to the train, and from the train to your office. If you're lucky you will get 10,000 steps with this routine.

Every morning I see the A1 parking lot, Actually a motorway, saturated with cars driving to Geneva and other driving away. It is often congested to the point of traffic being jammed. I refuse to call it a queue.

If you, as an individual, have the bonus of having to pay for parking, for the entire day, when you get to work, then you're paying 30 CHF per day, for the pleasure of parking your car.

In contrast if you took the train, you'd pay for an abonnement de route or the half-fare and you'd have the freedom of using the train for the daily commute to and from work, but also for pleasure.

With buses and trains, unless there are delays you get from A to B, chatting with a group, and you have the freedom too start from one point, and do a linear hike to another point. With the car it has to be a loop.

Fewer Vehicles on Roads

If you replace your use of the car, with the use of a bus, and if sixty people per hour on that route do, then that's a potential of sixty fewer cars on the road. Imagine how this changes the quality of life for cyclists and pedestrians. Now imagine if we increase the frequency to be every half hour or quarter hour.

In theory we eliminate the need for cars, but more than that, we reduce the need for cycling and walking infrastructure, because, with fewer cars, the roads are more welcoming to cyclists. The pandemic demonstrated how true this reality is. Cyclists, like poets, like the road less traveled.

The Pendulum

In cities, like Nyon, they're spending millions on cycling and walking infrastructure. The issue that I see, on a daily basis, is that the infrastructure kicks cyclists off of the road, but they quickly have to get back into traffic.

Between Nyon and Eysins, daily, I see that when a bus and a truck, or a bus and a car are heading in opposite directions, then cars, buses and trucks mount the pedestrian and cycling lanes, even when they're being used. The result is that instead of making walking and cycling safer, they're actually increasing the likelihood of an accident.

Aside from anything else, if you're walking, and suddenly you have a car or bus mounting the pavement in front of, or behind you, it's frightening, and annoying. The very infrastructure that is meant to be "better" for cyclists, and pedestrians, in effect removed the safe pavement that pedestrians had, and made it wider for cars when they need the road to be wider.

Less Likely to Walk and More Likely to Drive

The paradox of the new infrastructure is that it's designed by people who don't walk, or cycle, so they don't realise that what looks excellent on paper, and in theory, is unpleasant for pedestrians and cyclists. Now I am more tempted to take the car away from Nyon to run, and walk, because my regular walks feel more dangerous, rather than safer.

Investing in Buses, Rather than Infrastructure

At the moment, by investing in cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, rather than bus frequency, they're doing nothing about traffic density. Traffic density is what makes cycling and walking unpleasant. If you replace the rush hour river of cars, with a few buses, then you imporve cycling and walking, because with less traffic, 'rivers' are easier to cross.

Due to road works, for nine months, car traffic has increased along routes that used to be cycle and pedestrian friendly. By "improving" infrastructure they have made things much worse.

The False Promise of Self-Driving Cars

Self-driving cars are in effect, a re-invention of the wheel because their niche is filled by buses. It takes people from their home to the nearest train station. We don't need self-driving cars for that. We need a bus stop and a convenient schedule, both for getting to work, and back from work. If you have one bus, you need 50-70 fewer cars. Self-driving cars still take up the same resources as human driven cars. Buses don't. Buses already exist. Self-driving cars don't.

And Finally

If we replace the need for a self-driving car, with the appeal of a bus pass, then, by removing the automatic habit of driving, we increase the appeal of cycling, walking, and running, without spending millions on modifying roads, because healthier commuting habits, via public transport, will increase other forms of mobility through an increased sense of security.

The Earl’s Bluestocking Bride:...

“They are alone together”*…

Andrew Trousdale and Erik J. Langer bridge the years between Robert Putnam‘s Bowling Alone and Jonathan Haidt‘s The Anxious Generation with a brief history of the trade-off between convenience and connection in America. From Zach Rauch’s introduction…

The Anxious Generation is best understood as a three-act tragedy. Act I begins in the mid-20th century, when new social and entertainment technologies (e.g., air conditioning and television) set in motion a long, gradual collapse of local community. Act II begins in the 1980s, as the loss of local community weakened social trust and helped erode the play-based childhood. Act III begins in the early 2010s, with the arrival of the phone-based childhood that filled the vacuum left behind.

This post, written by Andrew Trousdale and Erik Larson, goes deep into Act I. Andrew is a psychology researcher and human-computer interaction designer who is co-running a project on the psychological tradeoffs of progress. Erik is the author of The Myth of Artificial Intelligence, writes the Substack Colligo, and is completing the MIT Press book Augmented Human Intelligence: Being Human in an Age of AI, due in 2026. Together, they show how the isolation we experience today did not begin with smartphones but began decades earlier, as Americans, often for good and understandable reasons, traded connection for convenience, and place-based relationships for privacy and control.

Tracing these trade-offs across the twentieth century, Andrew and Erik help explain the problem of loneliness we face today, and offer some guidance for how we can turn it around and reconnect with our neighbors. Robert Putnam, who read a recent draft, described it as “easily the best, most comprehensive, and most persuasive piece on the contemporary social capital conundrum I’ve yet read.”…

Trousdale and Langer trace the social, cultural, economic, political, and technological forces that have played out from the the late 1940s to today. It is, at once, familiar and shocking. They conclude…

When we asked Robert Putnam what gives him hope, he pointed to history. In The Upswing, he reminds us that Americans faced a similar crisis before. The Gilded Age brought economic inequality, industrialization, and the rise of anonymous urban life. Small-town bonds gave way to tenements and factory floors. Trust collapsed. By the 1890s, social capital had reached historic lows — roughly where it stands today.

The Progressive reformers found this new world unacceptable, but they didn’t try to turn back the clock. Cities and factories were here to stay. Instead, they adapted, creating new forms of connection suited to their changed reality, from settlement houses for anonymous neighborhoods to women’s clubs that built networks of mutual aid. They didn’t reject modernity; they metabolized it, showing up day after day to create new institutions and communities suited to the industrialized world.

Decades ago Neil Postman observed in Amusing Ourselves to Death that we haven’t been conquered by technology — we’ve surrendered to it because we like the stimulation and cheap amusement. More recently, Nicholas Carr concludes in Superbloom that we’re complicit in our loneliness because we embrace these superficial, mediated forms of connection. Like Postman and Carr, the Progressive Era reformers understood where they had agency when technology upended their world. It isn’t in demanding that others fix systems we willingly participate in, nor is it in outright rejecting technologies that deliver real benefits — it’s in changing how we ourselves live with and make use of the tools that surround us.

There are already signs that people are willing to do this. In a small, three-day survey, Talker Research found that 63% of Gen Z now intentionally unplug — the highest rate of any generation — and that half of Americans are spending less time on screens for their well-being, and their top alternative activity is time with friends and family. And they found that two-thirds of Americans are embracing “slow living,” with 84% adopting analog lifestyle choices like wristwatches and paper notebooks that help them unplug. Meanwhile in Eventbrite’s “Reset to Real” survey, 74% of young adults say in-person experiences matter more than digital ones. New devices like the Light Phone, Brick, Meadow, and Daylight Computer signal a growing demand for utility without distraction.

Unplugging isn’t enough on its own. The time and energy we reclaim has to go toward building social connections: hosting the dinner party despite the hassle, staying for coffee after church when you’d rather go home, sitting through the awkward silence, offering or asking for help.

Ultimately, we can’t expect deep social connection in a culture that prioritizes individual ease and convenience. Nor is community something technology can deliver for us. What’s required is a change of culture, grounded in a basic fact of human nature: that authentic connection requires action and effort, and that this action and effort is part of what makes connection fulfilling in the first place.

We can form new rituals and institutions that allow us to adapt to technology, ultimately changing it to our liking. But it starts with the tools we use and the choices we make each day. If we all prioritize the individual comforts and conveniences we’ve grown accustomed to, no one else will restore the community we say we miss. No one else can. If we want deeper relationships and better communities than we have, we’re going to have to put more of our time, effort, and attention into the people around us.

History shows that we can adapt, building communities suited to changing times. The question is: Will we stay in and scroll? Or will we go out and choose one another?…

Eminently worth reading in full: “Scrolling Alone.”

In the spirit of the call for forward-looking determination, pair with “The Displacement of Purpose” from Peter Adam Boeckel (“If AI automates production, then humanity must automate compassion. Only then will progress remember what it was for.”)

* Robert Putnam, Bowling Alone (in which he also observed: “People divorced from community, occupation, and association are first and foremost among the supporters of extremism.”)

###

As we get together, we might spare a thought for Aldus Manutius; he died on this date in 1515. A printer and humanist, he founded the Aldine Press. In the books he published, he introduced a standardized system of punctuation and use of the semicolon. He designed many fonts, and created italic type (which he named for Italy).

And apropos the piece featured above, we might note that on this date in 1965 “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the first major hit for the Righteous Brothers, simultaneously reached #1 on both the Billboard and Cash Box charts in the US as well as the UK singles chart. The song was produced by Phil Spector (who had discovered the duo at a San Francisco show) for his own label, Philles Records. All the songs previously produced by Spector for Philles featured African-American singers; the Righteous Brothers were his first white vocal act– they had a vocal style, blue-eyed soul, that suited Spector.

Data and information are never neutral. Seeing Like a State should be required reading for all statisticians, data scientists, and 'if you can't measure it, you can't manage it' cohorts. As I've mentioned before, stats is tossed into maths curricula despite being more about methodology; this talks about historicity.

A Shell-fish use of AI – Exporting Flickr Zips

Imagine, you decide to backup your photos from a website such as flickr, but you find that it generates over a hundred files. Imagine going through and downloading every file manually. Imagine clicking hyperlinks one hundred and sixty eight times. Imagine having so little pressure on your time.

That's where a quick ai prompt will get AI to get a shell script to do the work for you. A shell script is a few lines of code that you run via a dot sh file to do a repetitive task, or chore for you.

In my case I decided to download my flickr library once again. I noticed that unlike Google Takeout it does not give me the option of saying "create 50 GB files" so when it output 168 small photo files I had to accept that this is what I have to play with. Some people will say "work" but as it's about learning I write "play".

Understanding the URL structure

The beauty of Flickr export files is that they're sequential so the address is url-n+1.zip. This means that you can easily create an if-else loop that runs through from 1-168, and then stops.

The Euria Summary:

• Prompts you to enter the base URL (e.g., https://example.com file)
• Assumes filenames follow the pattern: .zip (e.g., https://example.com/file4.zip)
• Downloads files sequentially (1 file at a time)
• Stops when it fails to find the next file (e.g., 169)
• Creates a download_summary.txt listing all successfully downloaded files

For the sake of this experiment I told Euria that I want a script where I give the URL and I want it to download one file at a time, and when it finds that it has no more files, that it says "task completed" as well as provides a summary text file for me to check.

And Finally

A few days ago I requested data from Google Takeout but when I saw that I had over one hundred files I aborted that export and asked for the 50 GB option and that worked. With Flick I was not given a choice, hence the tool.

AI can provide you with the simple tool you're looking for without hours of searching.

The Case for Cables like the Ugreen USB-C — USB Micro B Cable

For years macs have come exclusively with USB-C ports but hard drives have come with usb-a and usb-b adaptors. When ordering an HDD recently I noticed that there is a niche item. The Ugreen USB-C — USB Micro B is the type of niche cable that all mac users could be tempted by. The reason for this is that in the good old days, when you bought a mac, you got useful ports, sd card readers and more. Now you get two USB-C ports, of which one is for power and one is for everything else, or four, if you spend more.

This absurd situation means that for when you buy a new laptop you need to buy a dongle, even when you get a mac mini that sits on a desk. The adaptor cost 23 CHF at the time and costs 19 CHF now. The Ugreen USB-C — USB Micro B costs 13 CHF and you get a reduction if you buy more.

This is so convenient for those of us with a collection of external hard drives. Instead of carrying the hard disk cable, and the dongle we carry just one cable, and leave the dongle in a drawer at home or office.

In the age of the USB-C age this is an item that makes a lot of sense because it's small and convenient to transport. It makes sense to have two or three of these cables for devices that do not have old USB ports. They're easier to find and more convenient to use. I suspect I will get two or three more of these. They are convenient.

"... #Convenience and ease are values that have arisen largely because the #oligarchs have nothing better to sell us. Good health care, good housing, better transportation: selling us actual improvements to #society has been deemed too expensive, and providing us with improvements on these core components of a decent life would require a real #redistribution of #wealth. They may even require a reordering of society, so they’re off the table. In their place we get #apps that save us 5 minutes in the planning of our week, or #chatbots that save us two seconds of Googling, or #AI music apps that save us hours of learning to really make #art."

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Happiness is enjoyed only in proportion as it is known; and such is the state or folly of man, that it is known only by experience of its contrary: we who have long lived amidst the conveniencies of a town immensely populous, have scarce an idea of a place where desire cannot be gratified by money. In order to have a just sense of this artificial plenty, it is necessary to have passed some time in a distant colony, or those parts of our island which are thinly inhabited: he that has once known how many trades every man in such situations is compelled to exercise, with how much labour the products of nature must be accommodated to human use, how long the loss or defect of any common utensil must be endured, or by what awkward expedients it must be supplied, how far men may wander with money in their hands before any can sell them what they wish to buy, will know how to rate at its proper value the plenty and ease of a great city.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1753-06-26), The Adventurer, No. 67

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

It was one Sunday evening early in September of the year 1902 that I received one of Holmes’s laconic messages: “Come at once if convenient — if inconvenient come all the same. — S. H.”

In #China, #youngpeople are increasingly using #AI #chatbots for #mentalhealth support due to the high cost and limited availability of professional #therapy. While these chatbots offer #convenience and #affordability, they pose #risks, including the potential to #reinforce #harmfulthoughts and a lack of accountability for potential harm. https://restofworld.org/2025/young-people-in-china-are-embracing-ai-therapy/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
