I do things with computers. Unspeakable things.

I also write Overmorrow, a newsletter about technology and my problematic relationship with it.

“A buzz of random, fake, stupid, sinister chatter that nobody wants and nobody can stop” is how I’m going to describe my posting style from now on.

Screenshot of black text on a white background, which reads: 

You wake up and brace yourself for the barrage of toxic gibberish that constitutes the modern public sphere. Your e-mail is overrun with spam, scams, and smut. There are voice mails from no one about nothing. A glance at the news reveals that the President is continuing to spew lies and obscenities; that a trillionaire is peddling white-supremacist propaganda on a social-media platform he owns; that a chart-topping musical artist is praising Hitler, or apologizing for praising Hitler, or praising Hitler once again. Publications from the Times on down employ clickbait headlines that treat you like a starving rat in a Pavlovian experiment. A.I. systems simulate the experience of talking to an arrogant ten-year-old boy who knows far less than he thinks he does. When pressed, the chatbots admit that they cannot “naturally understand human morality, dignity, culture, or meaning.” It all adds up to a continuous discursive tinnitus—a buzz of random, fake, stupid, sinister chatter that nobody wants and nobody can stop.

Did I accomplish everything on my list this week? No.

But did I prioritize well and make sure the few things that got done were the most important ones? Also no.

But did I at least make a solid effort I can proud of, even if I did not succeed? Again, no.
