Thinking

WordPress, AI, and the Human Niche

Every day I spend one to two hours thinking about what to write for my blog. Yesterday I noticed that Wordpress wants to get AI to draft the first version of posts using the AI model of our choice, as long as it’s American, and take away the hours of blank page syndrome. If you’re working towards a deadline, and you’re writing for work, that might make life easier, but it might also make blogging less niche, less interesting, and more kitsch.

Silent Walking and Garmin Instinct Battery Modes

It rarely happens. I rarely forget my airpods at home, and when I do I usually turn around to get them. Yesterday I didn’t turn around. I went for my walk anyway. You might think “so what?” and you’d be right to. It doesn’t change much. I usually listen to podcasts and audiobooks, rather than music. I like my walks to be intellectually stimulating, as well as physically good for me.
