Claude is great at refactoring stuff, but the technical taste you mention is even more important then (so ultimately reinforces your point)

I do wonder tho ultimately whether Claude will eventually just automatically fix its own mess or if good technical taste will remain important

also just cut out all the news and politics. social media can be good but you have to heavily curate your feed. i regularly mute people with valiant causes but they post too much politics / rage. humans did not evolve to be exposed to this much information. it's perfectly valid to restrict it.

life is hard. too hard to be your own enemy - so make sure you're being kind to yourself above all else

more practically you'll have to figure it out for yourself - maybe more gaming, maybe a break from gaming, maybe a rawdog week, maybe rewatch some beloved films, maybe get outside and touch grass

I'm always looking to discover games like this. Even if you don't have time to cover them, posting what you are playing on here would help!

the singularity i’m most worried about right now is the singularity of stupid. layers and layers of fixing the wrong thing in the wrong place for a wrong reason. we’re entering the age of compounded stupidity because pushing back on passable is too much effort and requires arcane skill

agreed, I think it's more vital than people realise because many text tasks do not have a straightforward numerical accuracy metric. these tasks are more about quality, which we still only have human feedback for
