thinking a lot about...influence?

Not how we say it as an insult - he’s an influencer - but the real thing.

Maybe it’s because I’m reading Joan Westenberg’s ideas around it in her pdf, about how real influence isn’t about vanity.

So what is it?

Well, maybe it’s the ability to change minds.

Casey Newton writes about AI. He wrote about Spotify’s new AI playlist thing and, right after, I tried to find that feature on Spotify so I could do it myself.

So who has influence? Casey? Spotify? The idea itself? Yes.

I’m thinking about all of this because…well, I’m not sure why. But it seems to matter right now. I’ll leave it there, for now.

For now.
