6·2 天前In my experience, stimulants mean more self-control!
ADHD is a broad church, but most of us generally show reduced dopaminergic activity around the frontal lobe, which can manifest, as an example, executive dysfunction. The right stimulant medication at the proper dosage helps balance that out. My unmedicated brother can drink a latte and go to sleep immediately.
Gambling, browsing, etc feel good for the same reason, and I will never touch casinos, cocaine or street meth because I suspect that it’d ruin me.
Curious what a study on relative AI uptake by Parkinson’s patients and my fellow adhd’ers looks like. The same dopaminergic systems whose underperformance drives symptoms also makes us more likely to get hooked on gambling than average.
Edit: also, AI-to-cocaine is the new cloud-to-butt
Tired: brain rot

Ha, glad to hear that the Onion is making it!
Sorry about my poorly specified post! My complaint was aimed more at Jeff Bezo’s bizzare idea that people who go out of their way to pay money to to a legacy media newspaper want ai slop rather than human-curated investigative journalism.
Google gives out slop for free. Why pay for it?
Do studio executives universally suffer from aphantasia or what?
Why do they think people buy newspapers in 2025? Good god

Curtis Yarvin is just an internet age Julius Evola for the type of people who are somehow also impressed by Julius Evola.
Quality sneer!

Edit: someone deep in the thread dared him to post a video of one of his coding speedruns if it’s so good, which tickled me
hackernews enthusiast tpacek is filled with incredulity when some friends won’t join his new religious movement. This of course has triggered a 1200 reply long thread:

When I get a minute, I intend to do a back of the napkin calc to figure out how many words 100 million of these things would hear on an average day.
100 million sounds like a target that was naively pooped out by some other requirement, like “How much training data do we need to scale to GPT-5 before the money runs out, assuming the dumbest interpolation imaginable?”
