  • Open on mastodon.social

Dharma practitioner & lay renunciant, writer, reader, traverser of passages. Long-distance hiker. Autodidact. Coiner of crude neologasms. Former book editor in literary publishing. Now on a pilgrimage to find the right community for monastic ordination. Emerging independent researcher in transpersonal psychology and the convergence of science with #dhamma. Do #hashtags work here? I like hashtags, and #emojis. Healthily wary of en💩ification. Not afraid of #AI, but fond of humans.

@imalcolm@mastodon.social I haven’t used Library Thing for a long time so I’m not sure there. It seemed pretty clunky last time I was there. I’ve only just started looking into Open Library. One benefit so far is you can actually borrow books and read them on the site. I’m going to stick with Bookwyrm for social reviewing though. I don’t want to spread myself too thin with managing allllll the platforms.

@imalcolm@mastodon.social 100%, writing *is* already technology, a process. I remain optimistic that soulful writing is a uniquely human talent, so I'm not worried about the Cambrian slop explosion, which, if anything, encourages me to knuckle-down on honing my craft and critical thinking. I went nuts on Library Thing when it came out, trawling my memory for all the books I had read and logging them like badges only I would see. The Open Library is another similar platform, but Bookwyrm federates.

@imalcolm@mastodon.social I do the same with sites like Bookwyrm! I treat these platforms as playgrounds for parsing half-baked ideas because expressing them somewhere is better than letting them just bounce around in my head. Sometimes they form into something coherent ~ then I throw them on the ever-growing half-baked-manuscript pile. And gradually, my understanding evolves. What else is writing for?

@brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org It wasn't generative AI that I was using, but I agree with your new-drug analogy when it comes to knowledge-seeking and -synthesis. I just moved to @AskLumo@mastox.eu and asked it to help me learn Pali. Fifteen minutes later we had dropped grammar and were connecting Buddha's idea of the Ideal Ruler with Plato's ideal of the Philosopher King in poetic forms that legit 🤯 The dopamine highs are incredible!

@brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org Great post. I had a similar experience with Claude ~ I secured a freelance contract to typeset a book, which I haven't done professionally for 10+ years, and having Claude on-hand was like having a team of consultants helping me to navigate the backend/automation features of InDesign so I could deliver a professional and future-robost native InDesign file, and fast.

@imalcolm@mastodon.social You're welcome ~ thanks for confirming the name of Letterboxd, which I was trying to remember so I could log Perfect Days and look up some other Wenders films.

I loved this #film, Perfect Days, depicting the especially ordinary Hirayama as he cleans Tokyo's extraordinary public toilets by day, and reads classic Western #literature by night. He also listens to #casettes and takes aimless photos of tree canopies.

https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/perfect-days/2479790147928

The film inspired me to up-notch my appreciation of ordinariness, and caused me to wonder why I am so obsessed with achieving great things.

Have you seen it?

@elena Resisting AI feels like resisting gravity at this point, which doesn't leave me feeling hopeless: I'm not a coder, but I am a researcher and a writer, and my agency resides in doubling-down on my own critical-thinking skills, and frequently renewing my commitment to producing high-quality texts that no AI could replicate. Human-created content (code, literature, art, bouncy castles ~ whatever cultural artefact you can imagine) will survive the apocalypse.
