@being_on_line The ban needs to be separated from the method of enforcement, which is the online ID checks.

These are two points of contention that are getting conflated with one another.

The latter is the vast majority of discussion right now.

@zittrain Appreciate your Qs, frames and pushes. Refreshing.

@LukeRobertMason This IS introspection.

[Matt Klein @KleinKleinKlein]

@millsbaker This app strategy is at odds with the idea that writers own their audience.

How do you think about squaring these two?

So much of SF culture is abstracting completely normal and ambient behaviors into first something that someone can claim takes organization skills and capacity as a resumé item, and secondly force an attempt to commodify it

@thekingmob As well as…

Saltburn, Anatomy of a Fall, Zone of Interest, Poor Things, etc.

There are some solid films over the last 5 years that we’ve had collective amnesia with.

Suddenly poof. I wonder if they’ll ever re-enter or they’re completely disposed of.

As we end 2025 with the words of the year being “slop” and “rage bait” (read: attention by any means necessary), I wrote some principles to carry you into 2026

Amusing that the main pitch for ChatGPT is telling everyone they are dumb idiots who can't possibly handle tasks on their own that humans have accomplished on their own since the dawn of time.

@ordinarytings I’ll happily commission an hour of you discussing this. It’s modeled a pseudo-debate format where sloppy rage bait fighting is packaged as deep intellectual sparring. No one wins and everyone leaves worse off.

@being_on_line I ask because I have mine turned OFF and still get AI referrals

Caught the premiere of this… and… yeah… I think I’m a believer now.
