It’s not hyperbolic to say AI is a multiplier. A multiplier multiplies. I’m seeing more people just getting better are “meta-work” and large volumes of mediocre work.
If you don’t know where you are going you will just go further in random directions. The real problems don’t go away.

When using LLMs, it's very important to give clear instructions. Spec-driven development is the future.
For example, a clear prompt to add two numbers could look like:
ADD a TO b
ON SIZE ERROR
DISPLAY "Error"
This specifies the overflow as well.

@todoist.com , can we get description for projects? This could be a game changer! Often projects need a short description (or a long one), and we have to put it in a doc elsewhere… and have to juggle tools.
I wouldn’t need google docs for project spec documents, my team can just live in Todoist!

Writing is thinking
Outsourcing the entire task of writing to LLMs will deprive us of the essential creative task of interpreting our findings and generating a deeper theoretical understanding of the world.

I'm convinced understanding Geometric #Algebra requires unlearning almost *everything* from years of Linear Algebra exposure.
My brain is actively rejecting GA - especially in applications.
This transition in thinking frameworks is worse that when I gave up Frequentism for the church of #bayes.

It feels like eating but not getting satiated, and feeling more empty.
But it’s a great business because it’s much harder to work without it after using it - skill loss is 100x easier than skill gain. Feels like for the first time ever neural plasticity is a handicap

one thing i don’t see talked about a lot is the psychological aftereffects of exposure to AI “for work”. i actually don’t know if we know what they are.
i don’t mean psychotic episodes it triggers in some or the delusions etc.
i feel like i get some kind of… hangover of uncanny. like i ate plastic

Bsky went from ‘Using LLMs is a mortal sin & you’ll burn’ to ‘you must use LLMs or else you are a dumb ignorant Luddite, let’s all pile on you’.
Maybe it’s just my feeds …
Both suck! Luckily in #bsky I can just change who I follow and my algo 😊!
Pls recommend #science peeps who do creative work!
