Printing a Morning Newspaper With an Agent While You Sleep: The Anti-Tech AI Aesthetic
jxnlco · x · 2026-09-14
karenxcheng wired an AI agent (via grokbot) to her calendar and email so it prints a "morning newspaper" while she sleeps — her first act of the day is reading it instead of checking her phone. She shared it for others to try.
covacut's take: AI enters the zeitgeist positively when it's anti-tech — morning newspapers, cyberdecks replacing laptops, bluetooth landlines — pointing to a world with less tech, more ambient intelligence, and less chronic online-ness.
