I find it amazing that AI shows us what humanness in thinking and perception (hence the 'taste' idea might be a fitting direction) is, just like Covid showed us what humanness in relationships and spending time with each other is.

Here's also a nice project, the "Reverse Turing Test":

(I.e. trying to hide the fact that you're human, among a group of AIs)

I've started to prove it (here on LinkedIn, countering its Moltbookification) via my bad handwriting – the final frontier of AGI. Finally, a lifetime of training to write more or less illegible pays off.

It feels good to connect with humans that way.

The same I am trying to do with my (vibe coded!) site "jetzt" (German for "now"), to which I photo blog impressions from everyday life. Only insiders will know what they mean beyond their aesthetic, and it also feels like a good way of human connection in these times.

(No food, no plane wings, just ugly banalities and beautiful nothingness from everyday life.)

RSS is a refreshingly simple way (and thus, trustworthy) of taking back control over what we see in a world of algorithmic "curation" (i.e. mixing in ads and manipulation, and taking away things that would interest us).
I like the well-working acronym of its opposite, PESOS - https://indieweb.org/PESOS.

To me, it feels like Star Wars' rebellion, in a struggle against the big tech (big data, big relationship, big dopamine) empire.

POSSE? This is the way.

You mean Ublock, not Unlock, I assume?
