So many new pieces of tech I have no idea why I would need such a things/feature/upgrade. Won’t stop me from watching a YT video about it though.
I recently recalled a college day memory when I was trying to cram so much new knowledge in my head that it was physically exhausting. While I can handle the ‘being exhausted’ just fine on my own, I’d love to get back to that level of learning new things.
The more I think about live language translation in AirPods or phones, the more it makes me want to practice my Spanish language learning. It is amazing tech, but is yet another innovation that moves us away from direct connection (he writes on his blog)
I’ve been thinking about books in the age of LLMs. I mean, sure, the LLMs will shamelessly rip them off. But the books themselves sit as a kind of quiet solitude from the rest of the madness of the modern internet. I think that’s more my speed these days.
This is my first ’thought’ post type. I miss twitter, so I’ll just put those thoughts here.
