Everybody’s worried about AI …

… and I’m just over here thankful that the goddam “Clippy” nightmare is over.

I don’t know who finally went Sarah Connor on his ass, but I’m eternally grateful.

“Writing is a form of therapy.”

“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.”

“We’ll never know what music we were saving.”

“We are an instrument gifted with many strings, but usually we die without all of them being plucked.  This way, we’ll never know what music we were saving.  We missed the love, the friendship, the travel, the book, the city capable of vibrating the polyphony hidden within us.  We always hit the same note.”

— Julio Ramon Ribeyro (translated from the Spanish)
