From Attention to Appreciation
In an era of AI-driven automated creation, true rarity lies in the meaning behind content and in our ability to discern what truly deserves to be seen, read, or experienced. The culture of abundance calls for an ethic of the eye—a deliberate, mindful way of seeing that values depth over distraction

Marie Dollé • 20 reflections on AI
Technology treats the process of consuming and the process of creating as distinctly different, when the reality is that for our brains, the process of absorbing a book is not all too different from the process of producing one. We are always seeking new connections, combining and recombining old ideas to produce new ones. So why is it that we... See more

Curation as a bridge
The shift
So what I am proposing is a need for a radical reframe of trustworthy AI in terms of virtue ethics, i.e. to focus on the ways that AI practitioners can cultivate trustworthiness and embody that character in their work. This, I suggest, will ripple out into improved trustworthiness and greater trust in the AI products being built (not just... See more

Bran Knowles • "Why Don't Some People Trust My AI?"
When a brand builds a universe specific enough, coherent enough, richly curated enough, the right people recognize their own taste reflected. The shouting becomes unnecessary.
The world speaks for itself. And the people who belong there find their way home.
But most brands won’t do this. It’s too slow, too difficult, too dependent on taste as a real... See more

Fatema Raja • The Taste Renaissance
“Love is more important than opinion.
If people love each other, the most varied opinions can be reconciled.
That’s why one of the most important tasks for humanity today and in the future is that we must learn to live together and understand each other. “
Rudolf Steiner

“The hard part — surfacing, testing, encoding —now becomes the main game.”
one thing I saw growing up in South London in the 1980s as supermarkets deployed was that small food shops tended to disappear, and then re-appear in new incarnations, providing service, curation and selection that supermarkets themselves couldn't match, for people willing to search them out and of course pay the premium, and where there was the...

Curation and Future of Search and Context
Revisited: one thing I saw growing up with the Internet as Google grew, was that small lists and directories tended to disappear, and then re-appear in new incarnations, providing service, curation and selection that Google itself couldn't match, for people willing to search them out and of course pay the premium, and where there was enough interest to support this. They didn't scale - they didn't turn into chains of 30 indie directories networks - but they often prospered.
That an individual can him- or herself shape the way people understand the world is not itself radically new; however, concomitant with the rise in data has been what Clay Shirky has called a “cognitive surplus” (Shirky, 2010), whereby the connection and aggregation of humanity via the network also makes it possible to aggregate humankind’s time...

Influencing the world, by controlling the flow of information, is novel.
I get it. You pour your soul onto the page, and it’s crushing when no one seems to care. That’s human. But if you’re not careful, the need for validation starts steering the work.
