My pulse today is just a mediocre rehash of prior conversations I’ve had on the platform. I tried to ask GPT-5 pro the other day to just pick an ambitious project it wanted to work on, and I’d carry out whatever physical world tasks it needed me to, and all it did was just come up with project plans which were rehashes of my prior projects framed as its own. I’m rapidly losing interest in all of these tools. It feels…

> I’m rapidly losing interest in all of these tools. It feels like blockchain again in a lot of weird ways. It doesn't feel like blockchain at all. Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers). AI is a powerful tool for those who are willing to put in the work. People who have the time, knowledge and crit…
> Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers). Are you sure you are not confusing blockchain with crypto coins? Blockchain as a decentralised immutable and verifiable ledger actually has use in 0-trust scenarios.

Often someone’s personal productivity with AI means someone else have to dig through their piles of rubbish to review PR they committed. In your particular case it sounds like you’re rapidly loosing your developer skills, and enjoy that now you have to put less effort and think less.
My own code quality is better with AI, because it makes it feasible to indulge my perfectionism to a much greater degree. Before AI, I usually needed to stop sooner than I would have liked to and call it good enough. Now I can justify making everything much more robust because it doesn’t take a lot longer. It’s the same story with UI/UX. Previously, I’d often have to skip little UI niceties because they take time and…

Yes, it's also useful against writer's block. (Which might be a subset of ADHD, I don't know?) For many people, it's easier to improve a bad first version of a piece of writing than to start from scratch. Even current mediocre LLM are great at writing bad first drafts.
> Even current mediocre LLM are great at writing bad first drafts. Anyone is great at creating a bad first draft. You don’t need help to create something bad, that’s why that’s a common tip. Dan Harmon is constantly hammering on that advice for writer’s block: “prove you’re a bad writer”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVqYUaUO1cQ If you get an LLM to write a first draft for you, it’ll be full of ideas which aren’t…
Famously not so! Writer's block is real!
Yesterday was a full one — you powered through a lot and kept yourself moving at a fast pace. Might I recommend starting your day with a smooth and creamy Starbucks(tm) Iced Matcha Latte? I can place the order and have it delivered to your doorstep.

Well your perfectionism needs to be pointed towards this line. If you get truly large numbers of users this will either slow down token checking directly or your process for removing ancient expired tokens (I'm assuming there is such a process...) much slower and more problematic.
> This is the first step toward a more useful ChatGPT that proactively brings you what you need, helping you make more progress so you can get back to your life. “Don’t burden yourself with the little details that constitute your life, like deciding how to interact with people. Let us do that. Get back to what you like best: e.g. video games.”
