funny how “automation” used to mean just scripts and zaps. now it’s like… entire workflows thinking for themselves.

been keeping an eye on how ai tools are shifting from just doing things faster to actually deciding what to do.
not always perfect, but the direction’s wild.

anyone else feel like we’re lowkey in a weird transition era for tech?

For better mental health and sharper writing, consider slow looking
By Julia Baird

Slow looking has become profoundly counter-cultural. And anything that serves as an antidote to chronic distraction, that pulls our gaze from pulsing, popping screens to quieter skies surely should be applauded.

journals.plos.orgBeyond words: Relationships between emoji use, attachment style, and emotional intelligenceAssessing the relationships between emoji use and traits related to communication and interpersonal skills can provide insights into who employs emojis and the psychological mechanisms underlying computer-mediated communications. This online study investigated associations between emoji use frequency, attachment style, and emotional intelligence across genders and relationship types in a Mechanical Turk sample of 320 adults (≥18y; 191 women, 123 men, and 4 transgender individuals). Correlational analyses showed that emotional intelligence was positively related to emoji use with friends, while avoidant attachment was negatively related to emoji use with friends and dating or romantic partners. This pattern of associations varied across genders and relationship types, with women using emojis more frequently than men with friends and family. Such findings suggest that individuals higher on emotional intelligence with secure attachment may employ emojis more frequently across contexts where more conventional non-verbal cues are lacking. These findings are important given the prevalence of virtual communications in our everyday lives.
