This was so rude! I'm terrified of the "will AI become sentient" conversations. Apparently we have to worry about them mocking us, in addition to world domination.

This was fucking horrifying. I already do all of that to myself 😭 but glad to have read this on a day when I FINALLY posted my first Substack post so feel slightly less attacked. Navigating the Tender is finally here 😊 and I have you to thank in part / a lot for that Yrsa, so thank you!! Suck on that GPT. I really hope this works as reverse psychology x1000 for you!! ♥️

Hilarious and terrifying in equal measure. Related a bit too hard to all the different methods of sabotage...

This characterization of forces rang my bell. Thank you.

These amplify and echo the resistance Steven Pressler wrote about in "War of Art" among others. Apparently I'm to identify, accept, make friends with, and integrate or sooth these malevolent forces move past them rather than do battle with them. It's a process right? Or at least tango, or shimmy, or some other technique I haven't tried yet.
