I like my therapist quite a bit but respectfully he has no concept of how AI is impacting huge swaths of white collar work. To people who haven't experienced the 2 year delta in what a coding job looks like, you can sort of sound like a nut. Or they won't appreciate the magnitude of it. Especially if they're not plugged into the news.

I frequently look around and ask "is this really happening?" - I think it is happening, as convenient as it might be if it weren't.

Does anyone have tips for successfully building reflection into one's life? In the mean time I'll reflect on it.

I have attempted to shift my mindset a little, thinking about how I might become an effective user of AI tools. I hope if I can do this that it will keep me employable, or even enable me to start some kind of venture down the line. Maybe there's a path forward for you and your friend on that route. Best of luck.

Let's say this or some future AI system writes better novels than any human author at a fraction of the cost. Novel writing is solved.

What will we have achieved?

I wish I could opt out of this world you want to create, where if you achieve your vision, I will be utterly useless and obsolete.

What's your useful advice for staying "on task" when your dev cycle is peppered with 15-120 second interruptions?

Of course where possible we should pour effort into minimizing these interruptions but for this question I'm talking mental tricks etc.

Btw I'm sure it's a two way street.

I remember laying out my page like a pink and black newspaper. All that work for no one to read lol.

But now it is essentially my career

It touches upon the composite nature of sight and other senses and functions.

It's ultimate goal is putting forth a theory of how self naturally arises from the composite.

That's assuming Ravens are present in your area. One of the first things the guide books teach is to differentiate based on range. E.g. a candidate crow/Raven in Iowa is most likely a crow, since Ravens' range doesn't include the great plains.

Let me finish by plugging birding as a relaxing pastime that doesn't require much investment (just a $25 guide book for your area), and can really enhance any time spent out doors.

Really shameful to present the obviously pro crypto piece as neutral or informational and I have only two explanations:

- ancient editorial staff approved it because they really don't understand crypto or

- there's some kind of market for front page real estate

Additionally the raven's beak is is longer than it's head is wide (in profile). A crow's beak from the same view is approximately the same length as it's head.
