Takashi Homma, on the books he keeps:
I don’t like things that feel too authoritative or prestigious, like they were made by an important person. Overseas, they call these coffee-table books. In the end, they just become interior decorations that sit on a fancy living-room table.
AI-generated artifacts – outlines, diagrams – often feel like coffee-table books. Like their goal is to seem substantial rather than to be genuinely useful.
(Takashi keeps the thin books.)
