Wrote a brief piece for the newsletter on writing without agency. On de-centring the idea that writing is a product of rational thought, rather than the thoughts themselves. Thus, the words have a certain agency. Probably, this is one of the flaws of thinking that AI is going to be a replacement for writing. Not the best piece, but a first draft certainly of an idea I had mulling around my head for years. So many times, I’ve gotten into my atarraya archive to do one thing, and instead I’ve done something else complete. Ideas have sparked off other ideas, that were put together by accident. Where is the agency? Order and control come out of the work.
Late post. All of it, the newsletter and this post, took 25 minutes.
789 is a good number.
Also ran 13.5 km today, and got Fichero building on Windows, Linux, and launching (then crashing) on iOS and Android.
Good day.
