@free_oscillator A third argument for endnotes (not sure yet if I buy it) is that if you read straight through, you get to go through the argument of the book thrice: in the intro, in the chapters, in the endnotes. Third time being the charm where memory is concerned

every time I walk into Domino's I am struck by the strength of the "just dudes cranking out work" vibe. fraternity, strength, urgency, purpose. this is completely sincere. I encounter this vibe nowhere else but Domino's Pizza & I pray to God my sons can find it elsewhere

I like having a thought or anecdote that is slightly too big for one twete and cranking it down until the little circle at the bottom of the composition frame turns red with a 0 in it or yellow with a 1 in it. very satisfying, like building a block tower higher than toddler can

seen at the gym: two bros in their early 70s. one on the stationary bike, the other holding his buddy's shoulder, wearing clean slacks, shiny leather belt. tshirt, tucked in, with weather-cracked screenprint of a woman's face with text ANOTHER WONDERFUL DAY WITH MY WIFE COLLEEN

there's a (probably parodic) PhD thesis to be written on the synchronicity between our emerging taxonomies of AI slop and the Elasticsearch `slop` parameter (b. 2012)
