1). AI 'detectors' that use AI to determine if something is AI. AKA "Set a thief to catch a thief". 2). All the technical writing I used to do which had to be 'formal' because the information needed to be presented as accurately as...
On "AI"Here is a place where I gather all my sources, thoughts and conclusions on "AI". Disclaimer: This is a highly subjective article on how I, a fairly average citizen of the world, reached my conclusions. Writing this page is an...
Visit mighil.com/degoogle tycrek/degoogle sat in my bookmarks for a long time. Whenever I got annoyed at some Google product I'd open it, skim until I found something that looked decent, and move on. Nothing fancy about it -- just a big...
TLDR: This is not an impassionate rant. I’m simply not fond of vulgarity and I think that we could have come up with any other neologism to describe the phenomenon that acquired this unfortunate name. You may get more out of this essay...
Yesterday, in the carpark for school pickup I heard a tap on the window. At first, I thought I heard wrong. Then I thought it was someone accidentally hitting my car. Turns out it was a friend (the Mum of my daughter's best friend)...
Your brain needs to offload just as badly as your butt does. I know it sounds boring to sit in there, alone, naked from the waist down, staring at the wall. But that's the point. Our hellish attention economy has produced a generation of...
Life has taken me for a ride, and dropped me off in a place unfamiliar to me. I do not think it has been unkind, nor has it forgotten where I'd been; but merely led me towards where I’m meant to be. I suppose the whole point of getting...
Some time ago, I had an idea that I would find and mark a bunch of "no pedestrian crossing" signs on a Google Maps bookmark set and publish it. I very quickly gave up. It turns out that finding these is pretty hard - they obviously only...
I have some really good news if you’re an artist trying to get noticed: You do not even have to be good these days. I think there are enough people out there so bored on their phone, on their computer, on their whatever, just looking for...
I'm curious about the idea of resisting the attention economy. So when I spotted the book "How to Do nothing - resisting the attention economy by Jenny Odell" at Camberwell Market, I bought it for the bargain price of $5. Today I read...
What I'm Doing Right NowIt's brisk, cold and wet right here in Melbourne. I have just finished my 8 weeks challenge at BFT (Body Fit Training). The promise of a BFT hoodie was simply a ploy to get myself out of bed, and doing some sort...
In university I took small jobs in town whenever I could. It was an excuse to get off campus, it meant a little cash in my pocket, and I got to interact with townspeople, most of whom had strong opinions about my school. The jobs were...
Every time I leave the US, I’m always struck by how happy other people seem to be. I’ve been to six continents, dozens of countries. Nowhere else have I experienced such deeply internalized bitterness, entitlement, and misanthropy as I...
I guess whether you feel lonely or not has nothing to do with how many people you have on your friends list. I scrolled on my friends list today, and I realized something. There is no one (not yet) on that list that I feel comfortable...
I love my bearblog, I really do, but I'm still not sure I've found my online home. I create domains and domains, but never maintain them. Then I pop back on over to bear and wish I could make it work. Perhaps I'm just not meant to be...
