In the end, creativity has always been a combination of chance and the application of known patterns in new contexts.

Many of them are caught in a "just one more feature" loop that keeps them awake late at night, destroys their sleep cycles and has them wondering every waking hour if they spend their Claude Code Max subscription as effectively as possible. You could actually be building a feature while you're grabbing dinner or hitting the gym, so why don't you?

Combined with the fact that the current state of AI assisted coding is still far from perfect, this leads to exhaustion. Letting your agent do its thing fully unsupervised only works in few scenarios and reviewing (or at least: QA-ing) the countless things that were built while you were spending time with your friends / family / pets is mentally taxing.

How are you handling this?

#2: What's so bad about thinking about life as an exciting rollercoaster ride? The tracks are laid but the ride is still fun.

I'd like to hear stories like "it accurately filed my taxes", "it organized and booked all tickets for my trip from A to B", or "it successfully executed a cold email campaign with a 30% open rate". These stories must be out there - would you mind sharing them?

Like Claude not being able to generate simple markdown text anymore and instead almost jumping into writing a script to produce a file of type X or Y - and then usually failing at that?

The piece follows conversations from a study of nearly 1,700 video calls between strangers with different backgrounds (age, race, politics, etc.). While people predicted they'd have negative experiences talking to strangers, the vast majority actually felt better by the end of their 30-minute conversations - regardless of how different they were from each other.The story argues that we've lost "bridging social capital" (connections with people unlike us) and explores how this contributes to declining social trust.

It ends with a personal reflection on helping a bleeding teenager on the subway, suggesting that despite our fears, most people will help strangers when needed - and that these connections are crucial for tackling big societal challenges.

Information on this topic seems limited, so any insights would be greatly appreciated!

"Buy a bunch of H200s and build a SMR next to the data center? Nah, just take these rats and feed them for 3 years."

This feels like a bit of a comeback as Veo 2 (subjectively) appears to be a step up from what Sora is currently able to achieve.

If you randomly choose the ~20 people from the global population then yes, this will be the case (especially after a number of rounds). And yes, I'm aware this is also the definition of the paradox.

But if you choose the people from your vicinity (i.e the people you are actually likely to meet), the chances will vary based on your individual parameters (which defines the number and quality of the sample size).
