Productivity goes up while wages stay the same. Whatever side the business is on, an hour still costs the same, whether it’s more productive or not.

Burnout is: exhaustion, inefficacy and depersonalization. The crash happens when inefficacy kicks because that’s very market-dependent and not really something anyone can control. The easiest of those to control is exhaustion but it’s also

“More than meets the eye, Transformers!” But seriously, current LLMs obviously pass the Turing Test. No one twenty years ago would have not assumed this was AGI/Skynet. I think it’s an apt name that describes what it does pretty well,

AI is very effective at the boilerplate-heavy tasks that I hate and very ineffective at the architecture and debugging tasks that I love. We work well together.

I believe this but there is another side of it where it doesn’t feel as tiring. I have more energy left after a longer AI session than a shorter traditional one. That’s worth a lot.

There is an interesting other layer here where the posting of an opinion is triggered by the way the content is presented. “The medium is the message.” The opinion posted didn’t itself exist before the content was consumed, making it all se

As a male, I’ve spent about 30 min, 5 days a week doing weights for years. I will never get anything close to a bodybuilder physique. No one should be worried about randomly bulking up overnight.

That last 20% of “missing nuance” is really important if someone is in that state! For the rest of us, the value of an AI therapist roughly matches journaling.

Sometimes, the process of gathering our thoughts enough to article them into a prompt is where the benefit is. AI as the rubber duck has a lot of value. Understanding that this is what’s needed vs. something deeper, is beyond the scope of w

You “skip” over your boss to talk directly to your boss’s boss. If the hierarchy is very deep, you can skip even more levels

Looks like there are 4 prompts and the last one can run up to 10 times for the chapter content. You might get two or three tutorials built for yourself inside the free 25/day limit, depending on how many chapters it needs.

I do wonder if this isn’t an improvement on watching TV though. Is AI time better than watching a show? The comment on a lack of friction is true in both cases but the active experience has to be an improvement on the passive one?

The country code made it feel a lot closer, a bit more personal. I haven’t used it in years but it was a nice thing to see sometimes. Like the fun animations they sometimes do but more real. We’re in a different age now

As much as vibe coding is obviously ridiculous, using it as a crutch purposefully in this way is amazing. I heard someone call it a tool for energy management once and I feel that

I don’t think this is the wrong take but I like the idea of moving dependence towards something that could be run locally vs. a search engine which can not.

Knowing what question to ask is always the hardest part of research. Getting there take a bit of creativity and it’s hard to compare one creative process with another. It can be very beneficial to swap between them when you get stuck though

Our brains are built to learn and never stop doing it. It’s always “what” are we learning, not “if” we are. The use of AI is absolutely teaching something.

The terrifying thing about Meta (and their large, connected world) is that, if you look at someone the wrong way and get reported, you lose access to all your games. Even single-player ones! It’s too dangerous to open, let alone engage with

Getting permission to install hardware is a lot harder than not getting permission to install hardware. It isn’t the hardware that doesn’t scale, it’s the people.

Just to be a bit more clear, this was more a Chesterton Fence comment than a condemnation. Everything has trade-offs and I hope our next solution to this problem is better, not worse.

DEI did feel a lot like paying off debt by getting a new credit card. Equal competition doesn’t mean equal footing though. We will eventually need something to replace it and I hope that doesn’t go worse.

A delayed attack is a bit of a stretch because that’s a stateful thing but a reminder of the Ken Thompson hack does feel very relevant.

A different point of view on AGI is that we humans do not achieve AGI. Our brains aren’t capable of it. We get close enough to trick the other humans we compete against for resources. How would we prove that’s not true? Something like IQ te

You’ll want to use something trusted like Ollama to run the model. The model itself is just data though, like a video file. That doesn’t mean it can’t be crafted to use a bug in Ollama to launch an exploit but it’s a lot safer than you make

I think this is getting close to the idea of liquid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. The scary thing about valuing the liquid kind is that it’s the one that shrinks with age. Crystallized intelligence grows with age.
