There should be some mechanism to block these repeated attempts.

This seems great! Wondering how it handles files being used in a lot of places (I am thinking hundred of usages) ?

Was it Dave Shapiro's agent swarm https://github.com/daveshap/OpenAI_Agent_Swarm or something else ? Do you have a link ? I am quite curious

I recommend David's Shapiro series on Systems Thinking that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@Systems.Thinking

It deals with more than just software, as it can be applied in many systems.

Apologies, I'm afraid I wasn't very awake reading your comment. You're right, my issue is more about the dismissive attitude that I often see: for some reason I mistook you as someone having that attitude as well.

During covid there were crazy conspiracies were he supposedly wanted to put chips in people's brains, which signiciantly affected his public image

I think that there is some kind of elitism around AI researchers. Yes they are very valuable, but someone helping everyone else be more productive is absolutely critical.

The problem is that it might unfortunately be necessary to have this kind of funding to be able to develop AGI. And funding will not come if there are no incentives for the investors to fund.

What would you propose instead ?

Is Bill Gates really loved by all ? I feel like it was the case before COVID, but then his reputation seemed to go from loved to hated

Don't jump on the assumption that you have ADHD. Get it diagnosed by a competent professional if you want to be sure. But even then, I feel like a lot of people get diagnosed with ADHD (or self diagnosed) while they probably don't have it (mostly in America is my impression).

Instead, it might simply be related to your personnality. I tend to be like you, and for me it is simply that finishing all the little details at the end of a project get boring and the new and grand ideas are more exciting.

Some suggestions:

Surrounding yourself with people who are good at finishing stuff can help, especially if it's on the same project.

Cycle between projects: when project A becomes boring, does project B become interesting again ?

Filter things to get the things that you're the most excited about and focus on the those instead. I found the book "Essentialism" to be particularly helpful for me in that regard. Check for patterns: what are the commonalities between the projects that you are interested in ? Try to find what really gets your excited.

Finally, this is perhaps more controversial, but I recommend looking into the 4 sides of the mind theories by C.S Joseph on YouTube: your personnality type might be ESFJ-ESFP-ENTP-ENFP, and learning to leverage your psychology instead of going against it can help. It's similar to MBTI but less.. horoscope like in my opinion. Maybe the big 5 model also has something interesting to say in that area if you're more comfortable with something less novel but more accepted within psychology. For me, learning about my strengths and weaknesses is something I found extremely useful.

Good luck!
