Pithy thoughts on thinking by dustin curtis
I have been stuck. Every time I sit down to write a blog post, code a feature, or start a project, I come to the same realization: in the context of AI, what Iām doing is a waste of time. Itās horrifying. The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already producesāor soon will. All of my original thoughts feel like early drafts of better, more complete thoughts that simply havenāt yet formed inside an LLM.

The luxury of saying noā¦
The real threat to creativity isnāt a language model. Itās a workplace that rewards speed over depth, scale over care, automation over meaning. If weāre going to talk about what robs people of agency, letās start there. Letās talk about the economic structures that pressure people into using tools badly, or in ways that betray their values. Letās talk about the lack of time, support, mentorship, and trust. Not the fact that someone ran a prompt through a chatbot to get unstuck. Where is the empathy? Where is your support for people who are being tossed into the pit of AI and instructed to find a way to make it work? How is the view from your ivory tower?

Fast charge notification for iOS and Watch OS
watchOS: Fast Charging Indication The Apple Watch Ultraās battery life is fantastic. It has transformed the way I use my Apple Watch while out on long wilderness hikes. The small downside to this amazing capacity is that charging the battery up can take a very long time, especially if you arenāt doing a āfast chargeā.

Brickman & Campbell (1971) called this puzzle the Hedonic Treadmill: as a person experiences a positive emotional event, expectations and desires rise in tandem which cancels their net long-term impact, resulting in no permanent gain in happiness.
So no matter how hard one tries to gain in happiness, one will remain in the same place.

Calling Arc out.
And letās not forget: they werenāt even making a fucking browser. They were making a fancy chromium skin. Because the role of a browser, at its core, is to make network requests, parse HTML, render CSS, and run JS. They werenāt interested in taking care of those things. They were happy to let other people do that work which, for a company called āThe Browser Companyā that thinks that:
the browser is the most important software in your life ā and it wasnāt getting the attention it deserved
Is quite telling. And in the blog post, he even tried to gaslight everyone by saying āThatās why most browsers donāt dare to try new things. Itās too costly. Too complex to break from Chromeā. If thatās the case Josh then explain to me why a project like Ladybird is managing to make progress in precisely that direction with probably a fraction of the manpower and financial resources you had.
