Cheap stories have always existed but what AI changes is how quickly companies can generate, test and refine them around the desires and habits the data says will keep us watching.

How much agency do we lose when everything becomes convenient?

Counting AI licences as adoption is like counting gym memberships as fitness.

The fastest way to distribute? Create a public feedback loop.

Perfectionism can be very debilitating.

Learned this quote from a podcast, I'm pretty sure.
