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)

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.

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.
