Granular Time — Silvio Lorusso
https://silviolorusso.com/publication/granular-time/

Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom

Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity
https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/contra-ptaceks-terrible-article-on-ai/?1

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc

https://archive.is/CBhrS

While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

Wonderful, the old Japanese calendar was divided into 72 seasons, each of a few days. I wonder if something like this could be made for my backyard, for instance.

Why and How to Write Minimal and Valid HTML, a Link Guide · Jens Oliver Meiert
https://meiert.com/blog/minimal-and-valid-html/

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

The role of the University is to resist AI
https://danmcquillan.org/cpct_seminar.html

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.
