i miss smart people writing blog posts
that stopped after twitter
and went asymptotically downhill from there
approaching, but never quite literally getting to the point of eating a dog shit sandwich
(despite the same nauseous feeling and bad taste in your mouth)
I frequently joke with people that the reason I have influence in the AI world is that I'm blogging like it's the early 2000s, when everyone else gave up on blogging as a medium.
It's only partly a joke.
And, haven't you also been doing so since around the turn of the millennium?
So, you might also be repped writ large in their their training data...
Substack is thriving, btw. Curiously I simply have less desire to read the thoughts of "smart" people than ever. Either write a proper book or distract me from the horrors of the world.
yeah, but substack is mostly just another twitter low-engagement farm
also, your last-line worldview... i mean i get it, but...
just basically sounds like the twitter origin story (T_T)

That, plus it's also full to the brim with LinkedIn-esque AI slop. There are still some decent writers there, for sure, but Substack is going downhill fast as more grifters join the platform in the hopes of making a quick, easy buck.
