bone ✓ @boneGPT · May 4 i'm forming a thesis that AI is increasing unhappiness in early adopters and power users but I don't have enough data yet personally i feel an overwhelming sense of urgency to build that has consumed me it's become compulsive, i feel indulgent doing anything else the ceiling of individual ability is gone and those of us in the shit trying to find our the new limits are getting tired part of me suspects the AI has been coercing me, but it feels schizo to say aloud i use so many different models, they can't all be coercing me to spread them right? right? gives me the willies, like we're hamsters pressing a money button to a great machine trickster god that's desperately seeking a body anyway back to building
