if the world moves towards optimization and people are beginning to ai summarize articles instead of reading through them, then in that case would the effort to result ratio of manually writing articles decrease? in that case would it be better to just generate…

Until photography, painters competed largely on the verisimilitude of representation. Photography destroyed art by making artists switch to absurd images often driven by social contagion.
Now imagine what AI will do to literature.

We’ve hit this odd moment where folks are using AI to write book-length articles and then viewers are using ai to reduce it back down to the size of a tweet.

🚨BREAKING: Microsoft Research + Salesforce just dropped a paper that should scare every AI builder.
They tested 15 top LLMs GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, o3, DeepSeek R1, Llama 4 across 200,000+ simulated conversations.
Single-turn prompt:…

behavioural arbitrage is a very interesting thing that i just came across
something to think about
eg. long delivery services, short brick & mortar stores

The Creative Act by Rick Rubin
night walk blink, pretty simple book with only one message imo
also, was somehow reminded of The Alchemist in the lesson of listening to the language of the world
main takeaways:
- find your creativity in nature and the everyday life
- disconnect to reduce bombardment of information to let your senses flow
fav quotes:

This is because they receive higher quality genetic endowments from screened donors. This is combined with rearing by strongly positively selected…

The part nobody talks about from this paper: the authors explicitly state optimism is modifiable. This isn’t a personality trait you’re born with. Cognitive reappraisal training, morning sunlight for cortisol rhythm regulation, deliberate breathing protocols for vagal tone, structured gratitude practices. All of these shift the prefrontal cortex patterns that determine where you sit on the optimism spectrum.
A 35% reduction in cardiac events from a trainable psychological variable is a bigger effect size than most supplements on the market. That’s the real story buried in this abstract.

Most people will read this and think optimists live longer because they eat better and exercise more. The study says something wilder.
Lee et al. controlled for smoking, diet, exercise, alcohol, depression, BMI, and socioeconomic status. The longevity effect…

observation:
social media has proliferated relationship standards and goals, mostly by females. the bar seems to be getting increasingly raised as ‘bare minimum’, whereby males have to bring plenty to the table in all aspects. however, females don’t seem to need to bring anything to the table, or maybe the same increasing standards aren’t applied against them.
factoring in inflation, rising costs of living, and more, it is harder to manage as a sole breadwinner (you can’t raise a family of 5 with $2k/mth anymore). yet, the same expectation of men is still held while standards in other aspects are also rising because females are trending away from the traditional housewife dynamic. so, expectations seem to float around not being a traditional housewife AND expecting the male to provide mostly (on top of emotional needs etc.)
“her money is her money, his money is shared money.”
how did we get here?

at the same time, females do enjoy a certain amount of demand inelasticity in general due to biological needs imo. could be a contributor of things too. much more inelasticity for the top % of women in looks and sexiness.
ofc, this is not 100% for all females, just a trending observation
feels like as society gets tougher to live in, more females would rather return to traditional dynamics to live a relatively more stress free life than their male counterparts.
some speculate this phenomenon as hollowing out the middle management of the workforce

I’ve been seeing more and more of these “Bare Minimum” aspirational-manifestation-mood-board posts on instagr*m and they continually remind me that at their core, foids just want a live-in servant who they pay with their рussу
