    I think its unfortunate people wear headphones while walking/running/biking. If you don’t, that’s however many minutes or hours of nothing but daydreaming (and hearing nature).

    I’m finding you can still get into flow state, but you need to find that sweet spot where the context switching is pushing you right up to your limits but not too far. If one of yo…

    It’s so bad I can’t even believe they allow it. It’s just slop everywhere, even the posts complaining about AI slop are also AI slop which is pretty incredible.
