“Quote Thine Own Self, Be True”

In my Google Drive, I have a folder with one document for each year since about 2015. Each one of them contains quotes I read that year that I thought were particularly informative, inspiring, insightful, funny, etc.

Lately I’ve been re-reading some of my older essays (not my old old essays–I’m talking, like, last month’s), and I’ve found myself wanting to quote myself.

Needless to say, my internal critic had a few words about this.

Woloomo

What I see every time I get in my car:

A small screen on a car dashboard, showing a thin, horizontal line with odd gaps and bumps.
The same line, now taller, revealing letterforms.
The line is now the word "Woloomo"
The line, now at FULL height, spells "Welcome"

What is this? What even is this animal??

When Your AI Training Course Was Written With AI

A module in an AI Training course. The module is titled "Final Project: Preparing Your Mind for Generative AI"
😬

I was joking before about being turned into a robot car, but now I’m not so sure it was a mistake??

Why Am I Like This, pt. VI

Me: Hmm, why are my extremities all tingly and numb? That’s concerning.

My brain: It’s probably because you’re tired and dehyd–

My anxiety: STROKE

Upskilling

The company I work for is making everyone take a course in AI. This is the introduction:

An online AI Training course intruduction. In the bottom right, circled in red, it says "Skills You Will Learn: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, Computer Vision, Self-Driving Cars"

Can’t wait to have cybernetic eyes and a car that drives itself!

…Or am I going to become a car that drives itself…?

Around the Bend

Just in case anybody still needed proof that E.M. has completely lost his sanity, here he is arguing that having fewer senses makes you a safer driver:

A tweet posted by Elon Musk on 2025-08-24: "Lidar and radar reduce safety due to sensor contention. If lidars/radars disagree with cameras, which one wins? This sensor ambiguity causes increased, not decreased, risk. That's why Waymos can't drive on highways. We turned off the radars in Teslas to increase safety. Cameras ftw."

If this weren’t so sad and dangerous, it would be almost as funny as the disagreements he’s constantly getting into with his own AI (you know, the one supposedly built to have truth-seeking as its primary goal?)

A Cleese Call

There comes a time in every person’s life when they finally realize that John Cleese is, and has always been, quite sexy, actually.

This time is called “getting old.”

Imposter Syndrome

Me: If reading my own writing gives me goosebumps and makes me cry, that probably means it’s maybe sorta good, right?

My brain: Sounds fake. Don’t trust it.
