The car wash at Tiananmen Square is 150 meters away ...


*Tank wash


I find it amazing that AI shows us what humanness in thinking and perception (hence the 'taste' idea might be a fitting direction) is, just like Covid showed us what humanness in relationships and spending time with each other is.


I've started to prove it (here on LinkedIn, countering its Moltbookification) via my bad handwriting – the final frontier of AGI. Finally, a lifetime of training to write more or less illegible pays off.

It feels good to connect with humans that way.

The same I am trying to do with my (vibe coded!) site "jetzt" (German for "now"), to which I photo blog impressions from everyday life. Only insiders will know what they mean beyond their aesthetic, and it also feels like a good way of human connection in these times.

(No food, no plane wings, just ugly banalities and beautiful nothingness from everyday life.)


Here's also a nice project, the "Reverse Turing Test":

(I.e. trying to hide the fact that you're human, among a group of AIs)



RSS is a refreshingly simple way (and thus, trustworthy) of taking back control over what we see in a world of algorithmic "curation" (i.e. mixing in ads and manipulation, and taking away things that would interest us).


I like the well-working acronym of its opposite, PESOS - https://indieweb.org/PESOS.

To me, it feels like Star Wars' rebellion, in a struggle against the big tech (big data, big relationship, big dopamine) empire.

POSSE? This is the way.


You mean Ublock, not Unlock, I assume?


You are correct. Sorry for the typo.

I think Firefox just rolled out some kind of autocomplete; I haven't compensated yet.
