Weekly Link Out Loud (LOL) – W21 • 2025

Starting a new series of posts titled – Weekly Link Out Loud – LOLs – links to posts I read and took notes on from May 25 – May 31 2025

• AI-Fueled Spiritual Delusions Are Destroying Human Relationships: This is a great example of how the quest to understand ourselves with things like this is paved with nonsense. And it’s so easy and appealing to go down a wrong path Something to be mindful and skeptical about.
• Don’t Chop Up Your Apple Trees to Make Barrels for Your Apples: On TBC CEO’s notes that web pages won’t be the primary interface for a browser…
• How To Know What To Do: A guide on how to plan your life
• OpenAI has an unsubtle communications strategy.: The load-bearing relationships between futurity-vibes and finance
• Screen Names, BBM, and MP3s The Oral History of Millennial Tech: By the turn of the century, millennials found themselves as test dummies on the cutting edge of technology. Chat rooms! Music in your pocket! Tamagotchis! It all sounds pretty quaint now …
• The Anxiety-Curiosity Switch • Ness Labs: The anxiety-curiosity switch is the process of redirecting the mental energy that causes creative paralysis into curiosity-driven exploration. It’s particularly useful as anxiety and curiosity are reframes of very similar brain patterns. Doing this can often be the difference between creation and a slam of the metaphorical book.
• The Critical Difference Between Complex and Complicated: When you manage complex problems as if they’re complicated, you’re setting your company up to fail.
• Who You Are is Not What You Do: Rather than drastic, very difficult changes, get hobbies a little at a time, make friends a little at a time. Ultimately, it’s similar to diversifying a financial portfolio. You have to diversify your life. Diversify yourself
• Why I’m meditating 300 hours: This is an interesting follow. They’ve already achieved close to 100-150 hours and that’s might impressive. While I’ve mulled about meditation, I am continuing journaling.

Joli rattrapage de la part de #Inoreader face à l'arrêt de #Pocket

i just posted a collection of games that made me think about the urge to instill purpose in digital art or games
"Not Quite A Game (Games that go beyond the need to be understood)"

"I think maybe language is deeper than words. When you take words away there’s this sense of awe you can find when having to learn how to understand something. You need to meet it on its own terms.
That’s what’s special about digital art."

"I always felt like social media creates an illusion of convenience. Think of how much time it takes to stay on top of things. To stay on top of music or film. Think of how much time it takes these days, how much hunting you have to do. Although technology has made information vast and reachable, it's also turned the entire internet into a sludge pile. And now, instead of relying on professional curators to sort through things for us, now we have to do the sorting."
