Disconnect
June 16, 2024
I considered taking the noir label off my author site. The term's overused, its value diminished. It signifies the cosy and formulaic and I never went into writing to be that. On the other hand, Google. There's no point being online if you don't want to be found.
I killed Instagram and restarted it without syncing contacts. I don't care how it works or doesn't work anymore. I have less to share. I miss Maura Quint and Darth, though.
The AI bubble / narrative is already arcing downwards. What we do know is most things online are fake and the things that aren't make LLMs stronger. Amazon killed publishing once and Google killed it again and here comes Altman and co to put another bullet in it.
I think books should be shorter and carry more weight. I like art that does less.
