a visual version of the article i replied to
by optimising too much based on the surface value of things, we lose the real value behind it
ie. outsourcing the doorman to a revolving door, which results in losing the human touch of greeting guests, carrying their luggages, and hailing cabs for them

This sort of thing is shocking until you realize that there isn’t much of a distinction between “flesh influencer” and “AI influencer.” To the audience that consumes this content, a flesh influencer is practically just as unreal as a fully generated one. They will never meet either version; the flesh influencer is just as virtual / intangible. Her curated & filtered experiences are also nearly just as fake.
We don’t seem to realize how virtual & abstract & fake our experiences of other people already are. The fact that men follow this AI girl is just as shocking as the fact that men would follow a real girl who posts like this — which is to say, it isn’t shocking at all, since it isn’t really a fundamentally different type of thing
Whenever there is some new AI alternative to something, we should ask ourselves, “What is it that we’re losing?” If the answer is “influencer culture,” then good riddance. This actually isn’t a problem

Moravec's paradox is the observation in Artificial Intelligence that high-level reasoning (chess, math, logic) requires relatively little computation, while low-level sensorimotor skills (walking, perception, object manipulation) require enormous computational resources.

When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer.

LLMs don’t reason about morality. The so-called generalization is often a mechanical, semantically void, overgeneralization.

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
finished this on a flight. it was recommended to me by the Head of Social Media of Solana, so i had to give it a read.
once again, Malcolm delivered. his previous book that i read 'Outliers' was great and this didn't fall below expectations.
main takeaways:
• how epidemics/contagions (in a general sense, not just viruses) -> Power of Few, Stickiness Factor, Power of Context
• key players: connectors, mavens, salesmen
• broken window theory
• and a lot of other interesting stories/facts
fav quotes:
5/5 !

fav quotes:
The line between hostility and acceptance, in other words, between an epidemic that tips and one that does not, is sometimes a lot narrower than it seems.
the human mind has a kind of "reducing valve" that "creates and maintains the perception of continuity even in the face of perpetual observed changes in actual behavior."
5/5 !
