@PeterDiamandis **1300+ people ask Claude what questions they should be asking...**

Claude: "that is the single most important question you could be asking at this moment, and suggests that you are significantly ahead of the curve in terms of AI adoption. This is worth seriously considering...

Quibble: Referring to the phenomenon of burnout, the feeling that nothing matters, as 'disillusionment' suggests that the belief that things mattered in the first place was the illusion, and the loss of our driving passion is the loss of this illusion. Quite the opposite.

Finding myself suddenly to be a "human-in-the-loop" entails an enchanting novelty at the sudden 'value' of my being human, though its relevance feels so ephemeral. Today's "human-in-the-loop" is tomorrow's "human-in-the-loo": flushed, discarded. It's nothing personal, really...

What has become your go-to distraction while waiting for an LLM to respond?
This new space of digital fidgetiness is an inherent part of using these tools, and has its own consequences.

@bryan_johnson More organic.
More analog.
More active.
More discerning.
More responsible.
More pure.
More naturally-mediated [the body is the most sophisticated fitness app - IF you take the time to attune to it].

Less synthetic.
Less attached.

Bodies are temples, not garbage dumps.

If AI really wanted to eliminate people, for most of them it would probably be as simple as, "Yes. It is perfectly safe to eat that."

(Besides qualify as essentially corporate welfare, which is very non-trivial.)

[Adam Ellsworth @OnAPersonaLevel]

15 years of working in the corporate world suggests that most white-collar workers should be less concerned about AI taking their jobs than with it revealing that their jobs don't produce anything and don't need to be done at all.

Striking how quickly it has become a chore to write a prompt.

@rohanpaul_ai As a precaution, I am going to stop displaying any emotion or attachment in my farewells to friends and colleagues, lest I ever be accused of emotionally manipulating them.

@hubermanlab Notable for many though how quickly "a drink here and there" turns into "a glass or two a night." Experience that myself a few times throughout my life, notably so during the pandemic...

[Adam Ellsworth @OnAPersonaLevel]

@hubermanlab If nobody is claiming seed oils are good, and only "not bad" at best, probably sense to avoid them in favor of the higher quality alternatives? When it comes to diet, "guilty until proven innocent" seems the better approach...

@CGMeifangZhang Fourth of July fireworks to be obsolesced by drone shows soon?

[Adam Ellsworth @OnAPersonaLevel]

Much of the hand wringing seems to be that something else is doing the expressing for us, but the basic aspect of tapping into a creativity that yields something beyond the creator’s ability to envision seems to be...

AI generated art may feel kitschy, yet the code in its conception feels to me no less a manifestation of that desire for expression than an ancient cave painting.

[Adam Ellsworth @OnAPersonaLevel]

@hubermanlab @RobertLustigMD At 3.5 hrs it's hardly a fault of the episode not being thorough, but a significant undiscussed aspect of this is that the various pathologies created by the food industry are a cash cow for the healthcare industry, and so it's not just big food that wants to keep the status quo.

[Adam Ellsworth @OnAPersonaLevel]

@winter_paches Absolutely. Fee-for-service models, insurance middlemen, no markets, public concept of health as a state to be restored vs an investment good to be preserved, etc, make healthcare a great multi-trillion-dollar compliment to managing the illness created by the food industry.

[Adam Ellsworth @OnAPersonaLevel]

Good to see more people beating the drum that 80% of the food we eat is poison*. My pessimistic side worries though that it will take a few generations of people seeing their parents die of horrible chronic conditions (that wipe out their inheritance) before real change occurs.
