    “"The Defense Against Slop and Brainrot" by Paul Jun. I appreciate this essay and its persuasive argument for putting in the work. While not exactly a wholesale disavowal of AI, it still makes me feel less like a person choosing to let the world pass them by, and more like a person who recognizes, as Jun puts it, that "time saved is not always strength gained."”
