There's a form of grief about the state of the climate, the species we killed with our actions, the damage we've done to the ecosystem. Grief about not what we "lost" but what we destroyed (often through negligence).
I do feel a very similar kind of grief when I think about "AI" and what its usage does to our cultural expression and our collaborative infrastructures.

Is it worth it to upgrade to macOS 27 just for uniform corner radii? I don't care about any of the Siri/AI stuff and will disable all that I can immediately.
