Was at a dinner party last night where someone negatively used the term "childish" to describe highly creative and high on openness adults. 1. Denigrating children or the qualities therein points to larger systemic and memetic issues. We should all aspire to return to being
In 1968, George Land tested 1,600 children's creativity using a NASA-designed assessment. Results: 98% of 5-year-olds scored as creative geniuses, dropping to 30% at age 10, 12% at 15, and just 2% among adults. They were programmed out of creativity by conformity.

putting the words AI-native in front of every product from the last decade doesn't feel correct it is true that the prev gen products were built on the assumption that software would always be dumb but taking those old products and adding intelligence to them feels like IoT

You might think the weirdest thing about knowing @tszzl at work would be seeing the writing on Slack versus on Twitter. Its not. The real split-brain dissonance is knowing how much of a monster writer he could be on Slack versus what he actually writes. The delta is like
