The simmering rage against tech is partly because what they are doing is impeding the really cool shit that happens online. The internet rocks, I have made incredible friendships online that have lasted 15+ years, built a business, made art, and I hate how badly they've hurt being online.

I have no idea if the rest of the season will hold up but that episode was beautiful. I watched it tonight and immediately turned the TV off so I could think about it and let it sink in. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow.

Season 3 Episode 1 of The Bear has just rocked me to the core. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of contemporary filmmaking I have ever seen. Just stunning.

It's increasingly clear that the people who make generative AI don't like films, don't like books, don't like art of any kind, and don't understand why anyone else does.
