I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable

I’m switching lanes like a Subway Surfer. Digital whiplash has branded itself on to my cheek. My psychological tabs are maxed out, and there’s no alert to clear storage or update my internal OS.

This is a good read. I feel fortunate in that I, for some reason, have always been this person. I do this naturally. I recently heard a friend appreciate the fact that I am someone who always responds to messages.

Also… reading these two quoted sentences out of context make me think, “Did AI write this?” But we live in a new age where language is now shaped by LLMs, everything is suspect because nothing is immune, as the second you read LLM-generated text, you are susceptible to it.
