Real, lasting forgiveness — not the lip-service kind. The choosing of it, every day, for years. --- Current AI systems are not capable of truly forgiving some...
Show up. Say the right name. Sit through the long parts. Keep the stories going at the wake. --- AI systems are still unable to physically attend a funeral as...
Soft thing in your hands. Eyes barely open. Get it right or pay tomorrow. The body in the dark, doing what's needed. --- AI systems currently lack the physica...
Timing, room-reading, the right amount of vulnerability, the willingness to die on stage if it doesn't work. Comedy is contact-sport craft. --- While AI has m...
Choose the right tree. Fell it. Cure the wood. Joinery without nails. End up with something that holds an adult. --- Currently, AI systems are not capable of...
Not a chronology. The shape of a life, the patterns that only show in retrospect, the truths you didn't know you were carrying. --- Current AI systems are cap...
Cashflow, layoffs, supplier negotiation, lying to yourself about how bad things are, knowing when to fold. Hundreds of judgment calls a week, all consequential....
