- TimByteI think the key difference (and risk) is that with AI we sometimes forget to check what got digested and what got lost along the way
- I think as long as you keep a skeptical loop and force the model to cite or surface raw notes, it can still be useful without being blindly trusted
- This approach feels like a much more honest use
- A lot of this looks like black magic from the outside because the learning path is mostly invisible
- It wasn't just a phone, it was a little pocket computer that assumed you were allowed to solve your own problems
- Probably not practical. Definitely not advisable. But deeply satisfying to read.
- The offline-socializing point is good, but it's also a cultural shift that won't magically happen because a law is passed. If anything, the hard part is rebuilding the offline spaces and social norms that used to make that easy.
- The mental health trends are real, but pinning them exclusively on social media risks missing a lot of context
- The real danger isn't the ban itself... it's the precedent that could be built on top of it if governments decide they like controlling digital participation
- Yeah, ad-driven feeds definitely pushed platforms into the doom-scrolling feedback loop. But for better or worse, governments don't really know how to regulate "the business model" without blowing up the whole internet economy
- This feels like one of those policies that sounds great at a podium but is going to age horribly
- Yeah, that's basically the best-case scenario: the diagnosis doesn't change who you are, but it gives you a map of the terrain
- Yeah, the "mirror image" idea makes a lot of sense to me. Both groups feel out of sync socially, but for opposite reasons: autistic cognition leans too hard on raw sensory input, schizotypal cognition leans too hard on internal interpretations
- This honestly tracks with what I've seen: autism has become the catch-all public label for "socially struggling person," even when the underlying cause is anxiety, trauma, personality patterns, or just plain awkwardness.
- That kind of bottom-up traction feels rare, but when it happens, it's incredibly energizing
- I've seen the same dynamics play out at mid-sized companies
- But calling the whole world a scam feels like letting the worst parts define the whole yet it can feel like the game is rigged in favor of the loudest or most connected
- You don't have to self-promote aggressively, but you do have to advocate for your work
- The long-game of quiet impact: context accumulation, trust-building, and systems thinking
- Yet features that start optional sometimes get nudged more front-and-center over time
