<p>I just tried chatjimmy.ai for a bit and while it is absolutely blazingly fast, it's also not a very strong model. I suppose that with time, stronger models will be able to run on such hardware, too.</p>

<p>I've noticed the same thing. I would have three, sometimes four sessions run at the same time. It would be great, but mentally exhausting. To help this, I've set a self-imposed limit of two active chat sessions at a time.<p>Another thing I found is that it is too easy to keep going. I would work for too long and get even more exhausted. It feels rude to just stop a conversation. LLMs don't really care about social norms like that, but it still felt awkward to me and I would worry about losing the context I had.<p>To help with that, I wrote my own little plugin that reminds me to start winding down at the end of the work day and starts prompting me (pardon my phrasing) to take the off-ramp; to relay any thoughts and todos I still have in mind and put them down to pick up the next day.<p>This is in no way production ready, but it might be an inspiration: <a href="https://github.com/pindab0ter/wind-down" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pindab0ter/wind-down</a></p>

<p>I think time and time again that incentives are most important in determining how a market and by extension a society behaves. These prediction markets incentivize the absolute worst in humanity.<p>These markets allow you to bet on when the invasion of a foreign country or the demise of a person happens. There comes a point where one bets against someone to die and you will see themselves incentivized to make that happen.</p>

<p>This post resonates with me. I recognize everything you said except for the metrics part, since my employer luckily doesn't do that.<p>It's addictive. You're fast, efficient, you feel like you're in control. All while you're slowly losing grip.<p>I love how nuanced your takes are. The biggest challenge of this new programming paradigm is not to see how you can use it to its fullest extent. It is to find out what a sustainable pace is, both sort and long term.<p>It is hard to understate how difficult that is.</p>

<p>Bitcoins in practice are not truly limited. The amount of gold on earth is not likely to change much, despite the efforts of alchemists in the past. However, new bitcoins (with new limited supplies) are introduced all the time.</p>

<p>It leaves a lot unsaid. Advertising has a lot of connotations and cultural significance. It can evoke strong feelings for one and be a livelihood for another. Simply stating that an advertisement is 'a public notice' doesn't do it justice.<p>I understand that dictionaries are not encyclopedias, but a little more is warranted IMO.</p>
