  rereading infinite jest. I originally read it when I was hospitalized with psychosis and subsequently recovering. That was probably the absolute ideal time to read it, but I'll admit I'm absorbing things in more detail this time. I'll post some good excerpts, but I'm on the train and the OCR app is taking some time to download

  my favourite type of ai boosting content is when they're like, "here's how to get ai to produce good code" and they go on to reinvent software engineering practises
