@levelsio@no_name_lod@4AAAAart You are more annoying than all the padel players I’ve ever met. You have a weird fixation on this. Did you lose a couple of games and decide the problem is with the game, not with you?
Agency > Intelligence
I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?
Grok explanation is ~close:
“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.
People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.
It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”
Wait, they’ve had this caching mechanism for a while. I’ve been researching it, and it looks like ChatGPT takes a snapshot of the page for the next 30 minutes, so that all queries related to the target page will be served from cache. The it expires and ChatGPT makes fresh request.
@forgebitz I believe you are tracking actual visits from ChatGPT and other bots. How do you fight caching mechanisms as part of answears will be served from LLM cache and visit won’t be recorded.
