Calculators made us worse at math.

Autocorrect made us worse at spelling.

Credit cards made us worse with money.

TV made us worse at sitting with our thoughts.

AI risks making us worse at thinking.

Every convenience removes a little friction.

And friction is where humans get stronger.

Be careful what you make easier.

@hilbertspaess I deeply appreciate your speaking up and acting in accordance with your beliefs and conscience.

I hope lawmakers around the world can appreciate the gravity of the situation and act in time to avert disaster.

Thank you for sounding the alarm despite pressure to remain silent.

@nytopinion @CharlesMBlow So strongly agree with your points and relieved to see one voice in the NYT striking a calm, realistic tone.

@Sharpie @mishy_the_fishy I, too, discovered that my absolute favorite Extra Fine Sharpies were discontinued when I tried to replace a box I had finally used up more than a decade after I bought them. The tip was amazing. This was over three years ago now, and I still miss them. Please bring them back!

It's as I feared: GPS is bad for our brains.
Fortunately, maps are not.

The ultimate travel gadget would be a camera w/ snappy touch interface, big sensor, wi-fi, optional data (sim), and wireless sync to laptop.
