[...] 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.

Right, and I'm not saying that playing video games is bad. I'm saying that addiction is bad, and that AI can be addictive, and can distort your sense of value so you think something is good for you when actually it is bad.

Fun, joy, and pleasure are indeed things we should be chasing in life. A lot of us lose sight of that while working on our careers.
