For all the reasons you’ve mentioned, I’ve started to lean into reading more fiction, as well as into writing fewer technical explainers and more articles with a perspective/take from me.
AI has shown tremendous progress in a number of fields, but it still has very poor taste when it comes to writing quality (with basically no improvement there over the last 1-2 years imo) and obviously cannot provide an idiosyncratic viewpoint from the perspective of someone we find compelling.
So focusing on writing creatively/well and writing from one’s own perspective and moral framework seems to be the niche we’ll settle into as AIs dominate more of the other parts of writing.
I found your workspace image very interesting. I would love to know more about how you've configured VS Code—which extensions you use, etc. I'm sure many others would find this valuable too.

When you started with a video about independent research now your on substack excited about the next post. Life's full of surprises. 😅
“Third is the ability to offer an opinion on something, or give a moral judgement” is likely the only real distinction left soon.
