Relying on AI assistance to do a task reduces a person's performance and persistence, and denies them the muscle memory and deep understanding that comes from working through it by hand. (opens korrents.com)
“ML assistance reduces our performance and persistence, and denies us both the muscle memory and deep theory-building that comes with working through a task by hand”

Refusing to use or build AI tools will not stop AI development altogether, but it will slow it down, which is a good thing. (opens korrents.com)
“I don't think this will stop ML from advancing altogether: there are still lots of people who want to make it happen. It will, however, slow them down, and this is good.”

UP3216Q (opens rcmnd.app)
“My display is a 32-inch 4k Dell – I think it's a UP3216Q. It's a wonderful screen for editing photographs and for rendering lots of xterms, which, let's face it, is 90% of my computing life.”
