New op-ed with Claire Leibowicz! I'll raise my own hand for on occasion turning to an LLM for emotional sensemaking & it's clear to me that AI can have *some* role in the mental landscape, even if it's just as a stopgap or referral source to other care. At the very least, we gotta talk about it!
this puts me in a very uncomfortable position, because i am technically speaking at this conference, but I promise you, promise-promise you, that it will be an *extraordinary* one (because of the other speakers + despite me)

WILD, wild, wild, wild stuff. @recurse.com !!!!!
The stigma of using AI for therapy is the new stigma (mid-century coded) of going to human therapy
people ask why we wanted to come back to nyc

i finally creative-directed a new homepage design (implented w claude code) after many years of personal website dysmorphia
it has flying cranes & a little Icelandic turf house & due to whimsy is almost unreadable on mobile. in other words it's perfect.

@greg.technology, after not recognizing pictures of Shakira (!) or Beyoncé (!!!!):
“But I *would* recognize the top Kardashian. What’s her name. The top dog”
“Slop merchant” implies the existence of:
Five bunnies sit in a row facing a wall, observing a banana taped to it. The middle three bunnies wear small colored berets.
This black and white photograph shows a person wading through a swamp or marshy area. The individual is submerged up to their chest in water, wearing a light-colored shirt, dark vest or overalls, and a dark fedora-style hat. They appear to be making their way through the water with effort, surrounded by tall reeds and marsh grass that frame the scene. The water's surface creates rippling reflections that extend across the foreground of the image. The stark contrast and documentary-style composition gives the photograph a dramatic, journalistic quality, capturing the challenging nature of traversing this wetland environment.
Joseph Beuys: another unsuspecting bog fan!
In Beuys' "Eine Aktion im Moor" or "Bog Action" (1971), he "directly physicalised the rich diversity of the bogscape by enveloping himself in its fabrics."
