Peck the Town Crier

@MMontgomery18 I watched that! Was really moved by the final bit about live music.

@PeckCrying Adam Neely has a good video on the topic if you haven't seen it. Not very optimistic though

If an artist starts using an AI tool on their art, I would hope that this new tool is so rich with possiblility, suggesting so many new avenues of inquiry, that the artists process would actually be *slowed down* by the AI. Then I would trust that artist's use of that new tool.

If, on the other hand, I hear an artist talking about their use of AI, and the first thing they say is something like "It's amazing how much it has sped up my process and increased my productivity", then I don't trust that artist and I'm not interested in what they have made.

Self-help books and videos are kind of unsettling to me, because they all kind of say "Hey, do something OTHER than what you're doing." I'd rather figure it out for myself, mistakes and all. The lessons that I learned by experience have always stuck better, anyhow.

Don't get too efficient. The world might want to show you something today.

@docproper What's up doc!

@PeckCrying Wisdom! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Seeing lately how I arrived at my worldview, my politics, through the lens of my own disappointments, pain, bitterness or just plain self-interest. Makes me more willing to forgive other people's views that don't square with my own. Whose lens is really clean, afterall?

To be ahead of your time, figure out what's missing from your time.

the difference between poetry and prose is that you hit the return key more often

I like to be the rain when it’s sunny, be the sun when it rains.

Think of a task that involves your phone. Pick up your phone and do *just* that one task. Set your phone down and return to life. You've just scored a point for the human team.

I want to take a time machine back to a time when a person would actually want to get in a time machine and go forward in time.

What if I'm not an artist, but instead an artwork? Like, something made me, this thing that makes things, and then laughed and moved on to make something else.

One way is to believe there is only one way. Another way is to believe there is another way.

@ronnielcohen Thanks for watching, Ronnie!
