I disabled chrome and youtube for most of the time. Unless I am looking for something specific, I keep them disabled. This alone reduced by HN scrolling and YouTube binging by factor of 2-3 hrs/day! Finally I have free time to relax an

The reason why AI community says NN doesn't "think" lies in the fact that it's trying to solve some min-max problem. The modern day AI is extremely capable of doing things that weren't remotely possible 30 yrs ago.
