    Just finished reading @pluralistic@mamot.fr’s ‘The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI’ and highly recommend it. Eye opening, alarming, but hopeful. It’s certainly already made me think differently about the AI booster posts and PR and what’s actually behind them.

    Just set up PagesCMS to publish to my personal eleventy blog. It was so ridiculously simple and fun to do that it was like a breath of fresh air after so many complex, multi-dependency setups. The site is now running on cloudflare pages so the entire thing feels blissfully light, portable and easy to manage.

    🖇️ Is AI actually universal paperclips? Reading about certain large tech orgs shedding workser to spend on AI, GPUs going to AI, and data centres both being built and consuming vast quantities of power and water, how long is it before everything is AI. And, like paperclips, AI is useful. But, like paperclips it isn’t the solution to everything.
