[...] this technology is horrific for attention. It's a thermonuclear ADHD amplifier and I have seen the same effect in every single one of my adult friends. Folk running 3 screens simultaneously working on totally unrelated "projects" they have little hope of maintaining, and such little commitment to the outcome that the time is obviously wasted.

Worth a read, whatever your opinion on LLMs.

And those of us who don't have it but live with someone who does and doesn't think they need meds to help... it's a terrible disorder that doesn't just effect the person who has it. I really really hate that it's downplayed so much on the Internet.

@SupraMario it took me until the age of 51 to get diagnosed. I thought I had “some traits”. Turns out I have severe ADHD. There was a deep and profound “oh f**k” moment when I realised what that meant.

My diagnosing clinician was surprised I was still alive.

What sucks is that it ruins relationships for those of us who know the person has it but they don't think they do or use the Internet to do a "lol I have ADHD, what's your super power?". I have a ton of sympathy for you all who know you have it and want help but have docs who think you're just fine, because everyone these days runs around saying they have it.

If you can't tell I'm dealing with this situation, and they are basically pushing me away because they think they're just fine, and I'm the issue. Yet all their relationships always end in the other person being the issue, and everyone being against them. ADHD sucks and it's so shit how social media has turned it into just some joke. Like it's a "hah" disorder and not a life altering disorder that needs serious help.
