One positive of this whole AI is its really made me think critically about what is actually valuable to my life.

If all new media is just endless stuff produced by AI I’m kind of not interested. Which is interesting because it made me realize I don’t actually care about the media itself, but the connection to another human (through movies or writing or whatever).

It’s also made me take a step back and take a hard look at technology and I truly believe that at least 60% of software is just useless garbage that really doesn’t need to exist. I’ve been slowly cutting “smart” things, time trackers, just any random app out of my life and I honestly don’t miss it.

Not sure what direction I’m going with this but there has to be a better use of our best minds than more ads or more entertainment.
