We’ve all bought into technosolutionism, but we can opt out.
<sub>Part 1 of a two-part series dismantling a culture that idolizes privately owned tech as a method of social progress.</sub>
Technosolutionism is a narrow perspective on progress and innovation, deeply rooted in the logic of capitalism: an innovation is pursued if it is the path of least resistance toward the largest financial return.
An economy comprised of ‘valuable’ short-term solutions developed independently from one another will collectively improve society in the long-term. A solution is proven to be ‘valuable’ if it has widespread adoption.
The more money that can be made creating a solution, the more motivated the average person will be to work toward its creation. And that more money = more motivation is an inherent human truth, rather than a conditioned, cultural reality.
Now let’s imagine that someone enterprising invented a special hand fluid that the child workers could dip their hands in when they got cut or bruised, which temporarily numbed their pain so that they could get back to work quickly and continue earning. I’m sure children would report that the fluid was ‘valuable.’ Now imagine the inventor of the magic hand-numbing fluid actually also owns one (or most) of the factories where the kids work—the circle of technosolutionist logic is complete.
When we are given an apparent solution to a systemic problem, that solution also shapes the way we think about our values. If you are able to buy a gun and keep it in your house, you may do so and feel safer. You may start to say you value gun ownership when what you originally valued was safety.

Search With Your Imagination
Semantic dot art is anti-slop. Instead of another prompt bar for generation, this is an art search engine that invites you to search with your imagination. Traditional search assumes a user translates their desire into a query well-matched for the hidden structure of the search engine. Modern Language Models (LLM agents) allow us to bridge from raw user expression to the universe of art.
In the last four years, our collective priors have shifted from associating words and emotion with imagery hanging in galleries to solutions to stochastic differential equations. Said differently, image generation models have taken over.
_Cowboys zapping bitcoin posts in the far west corners of cypher space_
Retrieval systems have experienced a renaissance (sorry, couldn't resist) as of late: the resources harnessed to generate answers to a user's request, no matter how afield of expectation. We've seen a dramatic return to people's interest in keyword search, semantic search, hybrid techniques, and more. Renewed research in embeddings, and interaction models; excitement again about reranking and prefiltering – to say nothing of agents or graphs.

Why imperfection could be key to Turing patterns in nature
 
A zebra’s distinctive black-and-white stripes, or a leopard’s spots, are both examples of “Turing patterns,” after mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who proposed an intriguing hypothetical mechanism for how such complex, irregular patterns might emerge in nature. But Turing’s original proposal proved too simplified to fully re-create those natural patterns. Scientists at the University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB) have devised a new modeling approach that achieves much more accurate final patterns by introducing deliberate imperfections, according to a new paper published in the journal Matter.
“Imperfections are everywhere in nature,” said Gupta. “We proposed a simple idea that can explain how cells assemble to create these variations. We are drawing inspiration from the imperfect beauty of [a] natural system and hope to harness these imperfections for new kinds of functionality in the future.” Possible future applications include “smart” camouflage fabrics that can change color to better blend with the surrounding environment, or more effective targeted drug delivery systems.

Why imperfection could be key to Turing patterns in nature
Many Turing mechanism models yield too-perfect patterns; varying cell sizes vastly improves the results.

Original work is now an endangered species
Everything online is starting to look and sound identical.
Look at new apps launching on Product Hunt. They all look identical.
“vibe-coded apps” - they have the vibe of an app, but no soul. Built in a weekend using the same Tailwind templates, the same component libraries, the same boilerplate code.
They work. They’re functional. But they’re forgettable.
Why spend weeks researching and writing something original when you can prompt an LLM to write something “good enough” in 30 seconds?
Why spend time designing unique interfaces when you can copy a template and ship in a day?
The problem isn’t the tools. The tools are amazing. The problem is we stopped using them to amplify our unique ideas and started using them to replace having ideas altogether.
