Talking to your computer can only ever work for people in atomized work-from-home silos, surely. I can't really imagine living in a world where everybody is just muttering commands to the computer all the time.

You can value not pumping out disposable garbage even if the (current) economic regime appears to encourage and reward it.

This is pure sophistry. Your complaints about the movie's tone and dialogue are strictly and specifically problems of your own taste, not filmmaking quality. The movie is (objectively!) well made with respect to "craft, skill, storytelling structure and emotional impact".

I don't get this either. My code doesn't have "base text"...everything is something! I can see that not being the case for something like HTML, but not for most programming languages.

Being able to do basic math in your head is valuable just in terms of basic practicality (quickly calculating a tip or splitting a bill, doubling a recipe, reasoning about a budget...), but this is a poor analogy anyway because 3x2 is still 3x2 regardless of how you get there whereas creative work produced by software is worthless.

Google Search made intuition and deep understanding and encyclopedic knowledge MORE important, not less.

Not to mention discernment and info literacy when you do need to go to the web to search for things. AI content slop has put everybody who built these skills on the back foot again, of course.

I'm not familiar with Readwise but it appears they only store highlights? Publishers probably don't like that but don't care enough to do anything about it, whereas "uploading copies of books to the services to do AI stuff with them" is the subject of many ongoing lawsuits right now, so they'll be very interested if this takes off.

I can't overstate how important it is that a real bookmark stores itself by simply tucking it somewhere else in the book while I'm reading. A titanium dongle with a battery in it can't beat that for UX....
