Another quote from Westenberg's article here about OpenAI:
"... believers .... who treat confusion as evidence of their own limited understanding rather than evidence that the thing they’re looking at is, in fact, confused."

I love this quote in Westenberg's article here about OpenAI:
"Every failure becomes a setup for a future success that never arrives, and every scandal a distraction from a larger game that never materializes.
The goalposts disappear entirely, because the frame has become unfalsifiable; any outcome can be absorbed into the theory.
If the plan works, it was genius. If it doesn’t, the real plan hasn’t been revealed yet."

Aina kiinnostava. Tällä kertaa muun muassa siitä, miten siirretään AI:lle kaikki tylsä, joka vie aikaa luovalta ajattelulta, ja miten luodaan toimiva yhden ihmisen yritys.
”My theory is that messaging and work that sounds like it was produced by an actual human with actual taste and actual opinions (even if those opinions run the risk of being ~wrong) are going to stand out more than ever. Which is, I suspect, going to be seen as the great irony of the AI era. The technology that makes it trivially easy to create competent creative work simultaneously makes merely competent creative work nearly worthless. The value transfers to the staff that can’t be generated: points of view, idiosyncrasies, judgements, strong opinions. The premium shifts from execution to context, and personal // individual context will always beat documented context.”

Odotan aina #westenberg in tekstejä, ja jo harkitsen maksullista (2,50 $ kuussa) tilausta. Tällä kertaa teksti on itsestä ja omasta kehosta projektina.
”The self that comes from years of successful optimization is “useful” and some might call it “finished.” But the self that is only discovered through years of purposeful uselessness is unfinished, and by that virtue, it is full of possibility and gifted with the unknown.
The gym won't give you that. Knowing your testosterone levels to two decimal places won't tell you a single damned thing about what you're supposed to do with your time on earth, which is, in the end, the only question worth spending your life on.”

Niiiiin pidän tästä. Ajattelemisen aihetta antoi, taas, #Westenberg
”The barely tolerated Monday is a down payment on a life that never arrives, a perpetual advance payment for goods that don't ship.”
Työelämän (suunnilleen ihmisen ikävuodet 25-65) aikana ihminen elää yhteensä reilu 2.000 maanantaina. Ja 2.000 tiistaita. Ja… yhteensä runsaat 10.000 arkipäivää. Osa niistä on lomapäivä, jossakin työ- ja vapaapäivien suhde on 19:1, Suomessa aika paljon parempi. Niitä työmaanantaita - ja tiistaita ja… - kuitenkin on ihan riittävästi.
Minulla ne ovat vihdoin takanapäin. Pidinkö, nautinko niistä? Pitkään kyllä, jossakin vaiheessa en enää.

A subscriber-only article by the wonderfully thought-provoking @joanwestenberg on the Westenberg Letter.
Content Saturation Has Inverted Cultural Memory
"We used to remember things because they were exceptional. Moments, dialogue, speeches, films and ideas etched themselves into culture by sheer force of quality. They were better-crafted. Better at sticking. Better at resonating.
But that was when culture moved slowly.
To be remembered, something had to stand out against silence.
Now it has to scream.
Content saturation has rewired the mechanics of cultural memory. When we’re faced with more stimuli than any brain has evolved to manage, our collective attention doesn’t coalesce around excellence.
It can’t.
There's too much.
So instead, it flocks to the repeatable, the clippable, the memetic. Cultural staying power has detached from quality and grafted itself onto transmissibility. If it can be misheard, clipped out of context, and reposted with rage emojis, it will be."
Westenberg never fails to impress with insight and challenging observations.

Joan #Westenberg in her new The Index news blog:
'Behind every handshake is a nation plotting its exit strategy from the American empire.
The #USA is not being courted—it's being managed.
The trust is gone.
It's gone in Brussels .....
It's gone in Tokyo, in Ottawa, in Berlin ......Every signature is accompanied by an unspoken caveat: this will not last.
The world learned from #Trump's first term: Treaties are disposable.'

"Westenberg is a blog where technology, philosophy, creativity, and productivity all come together, tangled and messy. Mostly because that’s how they are in real life."
Her common sense cuts through the bullshit in our lives.
If you're not reading Westenberg, you're missing out.

📰 Joan #Westenberg:
"Nie korzystam z narzędzi analitycznych na moim blogu ani w The Index.
Dlaczego miałbym to robić?
Nie piszę dla liczb. Piszę dla ludzi.
Nie ma tu reklam, sponsorów ani inwestorów, których można zadowolić kolorowymi wykresami.
Z mojego doświadczenia wynika, że większość wskaźników mierzy niewłaściwe rzeczy.Odsłony, czas spędzony na stronie, współczynnik odrzuceń - są to wskaźniki próżności, które tworzą iluzję postępu.
Są one przeznaczone dla firm obsługujących reklamy, które sprzedają swoją uwagę temu, kto zaoferuje najwyższą cenę. Śledzą to, co można łatwo policzyć, a nie to, co jest rzeczywiście wartościowe."

📰 Świeża Joan #Westenberg:
"Fediverse to nie przyszłość. To teraźniejszość, której nam odmówiono.
Przez lata internet się kurczył. Nie pod względem rozmiaru, nie pod względem danych, ale pod względem własności. Ogromna, zdecentralizowana sieć osobistych blogów, forów i niezależnych społeczności została zamknięta w kilku utwardzonych więzieniach kontrolowanych przez kilka ogromnych korporacji. Każdy post, każdy "znajomy", każda twórcza praca - zamknięte za zamkniętymi drzwiami, a ty nie masz kluczy."
