the change from AD to CE feels really emblematic of how surface-level and meaningless the supposed secularization of the western world is

Common Era is definitely preferable over Anno Domini, if only because christ is no lord of mine, but it’s only less christianocentric in that it doesn’t overtly make reference to christ in its title. the benchmark is still the same. you’re still measuring when the common era began using the (supposed) birth of christ, separating history into “the period before jesus” and “the period after jesus”. this conception of history is no less defined by christianity than it was before, except that now it’s easier to ignore because you’ve draped it in a “secular”, “modern” veneer and done nothing to actually unpack the ways in which western society intrinsically centers christianity.

I can take hints but i want to hear you say it

Absolutely crazy to me that the pro AI people nearly always think creative stuff is a chore that a machine needs to do instead of something that is actually fun.

This is basically looking straight in the face of someone who is successful and good at their job and saying, "What if you could automate the parts that you enjoy doing though." It's like telling the It's Honest Work guy that they can arrange it so he doesn't have to go outside and experience the health of his plants or the richness of his soil. It's like telling a racecar driver that they can eliminate the need to go fast, or telling Yo Yo Ma that they can eliminate the need for tricky intricate fingering. It is the fundamental difference between a writer and someone who kind of enjoys the idea of seeing his name on a book or in the credits.
