I’m sick and tired of AI LLMs

AI this and AI that. What started as a fun, productive experiment is now turning out to be a nightmare. Especially for writing. 

The sickest part is that AI is almost as good, just not good enough. Every time. 

So, anyone who is using it as a productivity writing hack ends up being nothing but…a hack. 

It’s a great assistance tool, I tell you that. But that by itself won’t increase the writing output. You still have to put in the work. … » click to continue reading “I’m sick and tired of AI LLMs”

“My Brown Dad Voted for Trump” by Anjali Roy

My Brown Dad Voted for Trump

This was a great read. Pretty emotional towards the end. I wish the author would explore more about the Aryan race stuff mentioned in the article. Maybe a followup? I think this has a lot of connections with the caste system that thrives in Indian culture, no matter where in the world they are.

Song Recommendation: Echoes (Meddle, Pink Floyd)

I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan. I don’t think there has even been a progressive rock band that has composed as beautiful, inspirational, melodious, meaningful and psychedelic music as them.

There aren’t enough adjectives in the English language to capture all the emotions you feel while listening to Pink Floyd. It’s the closest you’ll ever get to an auditory orgasm.

So, why am I picking this particular song from their humongous catalogue of impressive tunes?

Well, for starters it’s just a personal preference (duh!).… » click to continue reading “Song Recommendation: Echoes (Meddle, Pink Floyd)”

Song Recommendation: Blowin’ In the Wind (Peter, Paul and Mary)

Originally written by Bob Dylan, Blowin’ in the Wind became one of the most famous tunes of 1963 after the folk-singing trio Peter, Paul and Mary covered it.

This song is nothing but a series of serious rhetorical questions about freedom, peace, and war. It also covers other topics such as cruelty, empathy and liberty.

And there’s just one simple answer to all those questions: “The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.”

Listen to the song here:

Song Recommendation: Infinite Dreams (Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Iron Maiden)

Music is a great way to relax (or get energized). There’s something soothing about hearing different notes playing in a rhythmical pattern (or not). Apart from being relaxing, music can also be thought-provoking. Songs with meaningful lyrics are basically poetry in auditory motion.

I’ve come to like various types of music over the years (for multiple reasons). While I’m not a musician, I certainly can appreciate good music; just like a person can appreciate food without being a chef. This section serves as a platform to share the songs (and music) I like with everyone else.… » click to continue reading “Song Recommendation: Infinite Dreams (Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Iron Maiden)”
