i miss smart people writing blog posts
that stopped after twitter
and went asymptotically downhill from there
approaching, but never quite literally getting to the point of eating a dog shit sandwich
(despite the same nauseous feeling and bad taste in your mouth)
Substack is thriving, btw. Curiously I simply have less desire to read the thoughts of "smart" people than ever. Either write a proper book or distract me from the horrors of the world.
I frequently joke with people that the reason I have influence in the AI world is that I'm blogging like it's the early 2000s, when everyone else gave up on blogging as a medium.
It's only partly a joke.
