unLLMable
His authority is not intelligence but fidelity, the willingness to remain faithful to something that arrived without justification and refuses to submit to it. This is the thing no training regime can teach. Not taste, not speed, not range, not even the ability to reason, but the capacity to be remade by something unexplainable, and to let that... See more

I see three distinct drivers of taste: Inputs, Filters, and Discernment.

Scott Belsky • What are We Gonna Do Now? Winning The Era of Superhumanity
AD: Okay, let’s talk about some AI stuff? You write a ton and you think a ton, but it sounds like with neither of those, you find AI all that helpful.

The “machine” is not the problem. The problem is our formation—whether we enter into relationship with these tools as children of God or as anxious, mimetic animals trying to become gods ourselves
Luke Burgis • Spirit and The Cost of Cognition
as the cost of cognition approaches zero, that which is repeatable will be replaceable—and will indeed be replaced—by AI (a favorite saying of Palantir Co-Founder Stephen Cohen), which opens up an aperture for those who truly undertake creative acts . In short, we are going to be forced by the technology to be more creative; we will be impelled to... See more

it’s conviction disguised as calm.
You know it when you see it: the musician whose silence feels like confidence, the designer who can stand next to their work and not need to speak, the creative who wears contradiction well ... intensity without effort. People orbit them because aura feels like truth in a culture built on projection. You can’t... See more
