OK. I did it, finally.

I am going to need some volutnteer copy-editors / advance readers for this monstrosity. if you're a booster this is going to be a hard read because it's relentlessly negative. but if you're a critic it's going to be a hard read because there's a lot of harm-reduction safety-tips language assuming that the reader doesn't agree with me and that they will continue to use AI (or at the very least are not able to escape mandates to use AI). so does anyone feel like doing some self-abuse next week

@glyph I got you
@mttaggart I was gonna tag you privately if you didn't volunteer on account of assuming you just hadn't seen it if not
-
@glyph Ah, yeah, frontmatter is annoyingly even less standardized than Markdown itself. I went down a rabbit hole the other day trying to even find specifications for what markers should be used for different kinds of front matter and just gave up.

I gotta finish this curséd blog post first though. 3500 words and I'm almost done with the introduction. Starting to wonder if I'm actually just writing a book and I should be looking at a markdown -> epub pipeline instead
@glyph And honestly maybe a book deal too.

@glyph I would very much love to help, though I also have to be realistic about my chances of getting anything meaningful done in the five days between two vacation trips....

Feel free to ping me when you get to that stage and I will if I'm in the mood

@glyph sounds like you might be covered, but if you need more eyes, you can have mine.

I gotta be honest, I'm a bit annoyed at the amount of AI nonsense going on at both the conference and within the community right now. It was more emotionally difficult to book this year than it has been in years prior. I am expecting more tense social interactions that require a far higher degree of self-regulation this time than I am used to at an event where I usually feel like I am Among My People.
@glyph On the plus side (for very particular values of “plus,”) there will probably be far fewer people than the previous years, as most foreigners will likely forfeit it, so it might balance out the amount of arguing.

@glyph so I’m someone who’s extremely worried about the overall societal effects, but is also a manager at an aggressively AI-focused company.
I think I’m your demo, happy to review

@glyph i'm not exactly a hyper, but i use it enthusiastically, i just don't talk about it much here, because of the stigma. i'll have some time in the coming weeks, so i might be able to read at least some.
but i hope you try to be concise, i know it's hard, one of the hardest part of writing, but it helps the message getting across.
also i trust you make sure it's fact based, there is a lot of unchecked ideas on both sides.

@glyph Sign me up.

7500 words. now there's 13 sections, I think. I have been staring directly into the beam a bit too long

they said not to _invent_ the torment nexus but if somebody did invent one nobody said not to jam both my hands into it for months at a time

why am I feeling all this torment though? it's a mystery

@glyph ... This is the sort of attitude that leads to oddly specific warning labels/signs.

@glyph this is how i've given myself at least three electric shocks

@glyph feeling something similar. The AI hype-cycle is draining. The volume of slop submitted as proposed talks boggled my mind. Why does anyone stifle their authentic voice behind a pile of rubbish talking points? I’m not interested in in Claude’s pointless summary of some prompts. I. Want. To. Hear. A. Real. Person. Really. Speaking.
