That's a good perspective.

Not always, I guess

"Hardwiring Happiness" is a really good book #hardwiringhappiness
I have a weird feeling that this is the reason why all social media turns negative sooner or later. Will it happen to BlueSky? Did it already happen?
Even when I do, it's often in my headphones while I'm doing something (or sleeping). Our attention spans are fried. I'm currently supposed to be in 15m book reading session. My timer is paused on 8:58 while I'm distracted with bsky and screen is dimming, meaning I'm off for at least 10m already
Here's another excellent example.
You remember bad things that happen to you way more than any good things that happen to you. That's because historically it was a question of survival. Bad thing could kill you. Nice thing is nice, not so important.
When something good happens to you, think of it for 10 seconds. Pause,enjoy for 10s
This has got to be criminalized. Damn effective. Ever since I discovered this, it's VERY hard to go off-track with listed habits. If you struggle to maintain your habits, this is for you.
One hour long, but very interesting.

.glb format internals, but instead found whole first page of search resules page written by AI and not even answering her question. And then went to Bing to find out AI-generated summary that used the same AI-generated articles as its resources. AI eats AI garbage.
"AI is cancerous and parasitic"
Parasitic because it drains resources from humans and sucks on their creativity, without giving back, like parasites do. Cancerous because it grows under the radar without us noticing. Interesting thought by Freya Holmér.
Freya went to Google to find out about ...

"Read this slowly: Prospective customers are not interested in what you do; they are only interested in what you can do for them."
(From "New sales. Simplified" book)
Facebook is publicly saying it is going to be adding AI actors to the platforms. I think others will (silently?) follow the suit. Future of social media is going to be uncomfortable, where you look at each comment and try to figure out if that's a thoughtless bot or if every commnt is a soulless bot
I mean, cheap packaged highly-processed mass-produced food still hasn't killed restaurants. Why should AI kill human creativity?
... but it took engineers and managers and other staff months or years to get it _right_). Maybe the future of the Internet is similar. Lots of mass-produced barely-digestible content (like NetFlix's "distracted watching" content), some artisans still producing handcrafted content.
"mass-produced content" (from that video) that certainly strikes a bell. It's like mass-produced food or mass-produced goods. It's just not good enough. When possible, you'd go to artisans, to restaurants, to high-end stuff (which still could use mass-production machines, ...

Certainly feeling the same lately. AI _is_ making us lazy.
"I was just thinking how [ChatGPT]'s really kind of
making me lazy, it's like taking my creativity away from me, especially when I use it in a situation, where I'm trying to produce something, I'm trying to create a new YouTube video I'm trying to figure out how to set up a certain scene or...
The book is about sales though :) "New Sales. Simplified"
"Can you name one really successful person who has a negative outlook on life? I can't." (From the book I'm reading)
I remember reading that you learn meditation almost the same way. You get distracted constantly, you don't get angry, you just return to meditation. Maybe that's also the way we get our focus back.
Also doing a lot of handwriting now. (Yes, with a real world pen!) That helps with focus too.
One more thing I find incredibly useful is "Study with me" videos. I mean it keeps you in check for 20-30-60 minutes, you see someone working hard and you do the same. It becomes normal to focus instead of switching back and forth between random things. Or at least it pulls you back constantly.
Just to be clear, the idea is that you need to do stuff in order to achieve anything. It's not enough to want it or to sit and wait for it.
That's also a very good reminder! Thank you!
The rules have changed, you don't have to do Anything. The stuff will just come to you naturally. Now give me $5,000 for the course I'm selling you which will say the same thing in just 5 hours. Then at the end...
...I will sell you an even longer $10,000 one! You can't miss it!
"The rules of nature have changed! You can get yourself healthy simply by following health experts on Twitter and blogging about your desire to be fit."
I loved this quote from a book I'm reading. Makes fun of all the 2.0 "gurus" preaching anything...
