this adorable baby cat showed up outside my door last week & it actually gave me a lot of thoughts about friction & emerging tech.
ie: what do we actually want to automate vs. what is still worth doing the hard way?
(the one-eyed pirate cat is thriving. we went from a 20% survival rate to a playful, growing kitten in 48 hrs! the lack of things i accomplished last week = worth it)
"What is the difference between Gina the talking dandelion and an AI stuffed animal? Why does one make me feel like I’m giving my son the world and the other genuinely freak me out?" <-- I'm trying to figure it out.
