On returning to the internet

I quit blogging in December 2024 because the hype around large language models made the entire internet feel stupid. It now seems that the hype is fading; it's even socially acceptable to acknowledge the existence of a thing called the "AI bubble." So I'm back.

For the next few months, I'll chronicle rebuilding my blog using a Clojure tool called Cryogen. This will involve migrating my old posts, which I'm planning to do one at a time, and with a sense of bittersweet nostalgia for the days when I didn't yet know that all my online writing would eventually be sucked into a machine that spits out possibly-psychosis-provoking drivel.
