I think attention seeking is either pathological or for making money. The great majority of people continue to need eachother to create value but that is mostly hijacked by venture capital trying to monetize, extract value, etc

HN is one of the most stable platforms for discussion though. Sure, new influxes of users has brought different colors to the community but mostly people continue to discuss various topics, from philosphy to science or personal anecdotes. I

It’d be interesting to know, aren’t the people who have vested interests such as owning propery in SF the same people claiming a new boom on the horizon?

That’s why the most lucrative thing is to get people to ‘connect’ their networks digitally on social media and manipulate them. I hope we see a return to irl networks

It’s not “AI”, it’s just LLMs. When/if AI becomes a reality there will be no need for mechanical turks

Yep. I try to stay away from content made by people with oral diarrhea no matter how interesting it seems and actively diversify my sources. I do get back to it from time to time to sample and compare. Nowadays I am on an exploratory journe

I think so, I watched a few episodes and he appears knowledgeble but not on my taste. There’s so much other good content on youtube to single out and latch onto Superman

Trust no one, you’re solely in charge when behind the steering wheel. At least till cars start becoming fully autonomous but then who is to be held responsible if something goes bad..

My point is that there’s a small loophole still open actionable for powerusers right now but that won’t be the case for too long. Probably the best thing is to start migrating to a different platform, or at least start thinking about it.

You realize most windows users will simply go with the flow?

In the same boat here. But they couldn’t care less, the masses is what they’re after. I came to and been using invidio.us to listen to lectures without any video, a feture that works on Iphones with the screen turned off. Not sure whether a

I suspect OP that your respnding to thinks something like … Hofstadter is not known to have made himself uber-rich therefore he’s not worth taking advice from or something along those lines

The expectation on what you produce will change though, there will be pressure to create more for less. Not saying all content creators will lose their jobs, but many will and the remaining will have to do more work. Oh well, with the provi

When it comes to content generation I think chatGpt is a gamechanger, more and more publications will convert most of their stuff into LLMs. It’s quite terrible for the consumer in the long term. For example I was reading news a few days ab

I think the process of taking notes and compressing information is very helpful for retention. Unfortunately I lost the ability to keep track of long ideas while writing - I am not a fast writer. I chose to record lectures instead and pay d

If you juggle while you write or process some data maybe. I don’t have that ability and personally can’t tell but you may be onto something. Writing on a keyboard is phisically easier and engaging fewer circuits in the brain. It has some ad

Makes more sense but we’d have too many urls starting with com; it would be a bit of a cognitive waste. When the rotaty phone was around more important areas were startig with low digits to save on dialing time. Perhaps a similar type of co

Not true from my experience. All cat owners I know are relaxed go with the flow type of people. Few dog owners I know are as you describe but the rest don’t make the pattern significat to notice. Maybe the anxious people you know attempt to
