I've started down the path but I'm taking it delicately. The future may hold a whole new genre of interventions for AI atrophy.

I didn't provide much context but, 1) I've had deep conversations with these friends for years based on long articles or videos, and 2) I recommend maybe one or two long form items per year and they used to always review them with

I wasn't even hyping it though. I shared it among friends to spark discussion. Sure, there's some hyperbole, but I found it thought provoking. (FYI, I didn't downvote your comment)

You might be right but they used to read much more and our arguments used to be deeper. The changes I'm seeing in them are highly correlated to their increased use of AI. Maybe it's something like that AI allows them to indulge in

I sent the entire series by Aphyr [1] to some friends. Two of them, independently, responded with a variant of, "TLDR, can you give a summary?" I chat with these friends a lot but I rarely send articles that I suggest they read an

Makes sense. One idea would be if the browser could detect packet loss (e.g. netstat -s and look for TCP retransmissions, and equivalent on other OSes) and open more sockets if there is.

Pretty cool. Any thoughts on adding a human-in-the-loop approval button on certain MCP calls? I imagine sometimes I might want to require approval for certain tool calls all the time, whereas other times I might just want to add that to the

I think the hardest part is deciding which gems to use. It's not uncommon to end up with over 50 gems in your Gemfile. For example, built-in capabilities for authentication are limited: https://github.com/rails/rai

Number of hours per week would be nice. I think we'll see a lot more demand and supply of 30 and 20 hour per week jobs.
