I get the impression AI makes a lot of people addicted to their work the way some get addicted to video games because it lowers willpower/activation energy needed to get to the next incremental bit of reward by taking care of the tedious stuff

@GergelyOrosz I found that my subconscious willingness to read PRDs is proportional to the effort behind them, approaching zero when it’s AI-generated.

Media determine our situation

[roon @tszzl]

it will be unclear who was the tool and who was the user -- as it ever was. "But lo! men have become the tools of their tools" (Walden, 1854). the difference comes whence the machines research propagate more machines, obsolescing McLuhan:
“Man becomes, as it were, the sex organs of the machine world, as the bee of the plant world, enabling it to fecundate and to evolve ever new forms. The machine world reciprocates man’s love by expediting his wishes and desires, namely, in providing him with wealth”

when machine minds self replicate and train their successors, the only viable goal of our time is to ensure the Mind Children carry our values and tends to the entire flock of machine and biological minds

life is scary and stressful anyways so you might as well accept a lot of responsibility it won’t change the situation that much

toddlers demonstrate that being impervious to reason, despite glaring weaknesses, is quite a good negotiating position

[Konstantinos Gozos @kogozos]

Actually, the opposite is true; if you don't have real urgent pressing pain points to solve, you don't get better with AI, just slopmaxxing.

the more unemployed you are, the better you get with AI

@mark_k GPT-5.4 xhigh > GPT-5.5 xhigh. GPT-5.5 hallucinates like crazy for me.

[andrew chen @andrewchen]

hot take :) The biggest and most productive people in the AI era are the folks who are already good at their jobs. AI as a multiplier, not an equalizer/democratizer

[shy fawkes @butterbooter]

what people don’t realize is that to write is to think. by outsourcing your writing you are outsourcing your thinking. you are paying for the degradation of your own mind. don’t use AI to “structure” your thoughts. structure them yourself. a shortcut to nowhere

@v0 I need to be able to merge forked chats into one (or specific files from a chat to another) and v0 could help resolve any merge conflicts.

Every 20 prompts I fork my project and sometimes v0 is messing up something unrelated that I could restore from a previous chat.

YC taught me that you can always change your idea, but you can never change the market.

if your competitors aren’t making any money, chances are you probably won’t either

i learned this the hard way.

[Konstantinos Gozos @kogozos]

@kinder_grinder @v0 Yes, the error rate for the price is unacceptable. Combination of Cursor and ChatGPT Canvas for quick CSS/Html builds.

[Konstantinos Gozos @kogozos]

@jstnstphns @v0 As if v0 was getting right things immediately, now with usage based pricing, we're paying for when the product malfunction

@OfficialLoganK stuck for the past 30 minutes 😅

“Language poisoning” is real. Consuming too much text can make you mentally ill due to the lower-dimensionality of language. To expand my mind after reading text, I like to meditate on all of the colors in my garden that could not possibly be captured with words

[Hunter Ash @ArtemisConsort]

When you’ve spent 20 years obsessing over epistemology and learning physics, it can be jarring to realize that most people don’t have beliefs at all, in a rigorous sense. They just have emotional reactions to sentences.
