@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Not wanting to put words in Brandon's mouth, but I think the crucial part is, he's not saying he wants AI to do the second list instead of the first. AI could just not do either of them.

Speaking for myself: I enjoy the same things and dislike the same things, but I will gladly continue doing the things I dislike (in part because as you say, there are positive things to be gained from doing them) but why on Earth would I want AI to do the things I enjoy the most?

@nprofile1q... Yeah but we still tend to classify by levels of care, low medium high severity, level 1 2 3 4 5 etc. Still discrete boxes, you can subdivide the boxes as small as you want it can never represent the actual person accurately. Same thing as sampling an analog signal digitally, you can increase the number of bits but you can't represent the real thing with 100% fidelity!

I often tell my boys that they are who they are, no need to fit in someone else's set of boxes they've defined.

A while back I learned about "aphantasia" and I wonder if that's a real thing. Not that I doubt some folks cannot visualize things. Heck, I can only imagine things in very blurry terms. So what do I g...

@nprofile1q...

We do like our little boxes, and making everyone fit into them makes things feel neat and organized, but I agree with you that human beings are much more complex and we need to give everyone space to be themselves.

Then again, having names for things allows us to give help to people who need it, like for autism, ADHD and so on. Not everyone has the same needs so we need some kind of classification even if it's imperfect.

But yeah, I ponder the same things sometimes.

@nprofile1q...

Nice, good start for the project!

I've been using Bitwarden since LastPass had a huge data breach and I lost confidence in it, but was thinking of moving to something under my own control. Will be watching this, it might be just what I would like to use.

@nprofile1q... no worries! Was able to read in reader mode.

Totally resonates with me too. Days with a few small tasks feel a lot better than large tasks that take multiple days. At work we have a "daily check-in thread" where you're supposed to say what you're working on, and it feels so bad when I post the same thing 2 or 3 days in a row... Feels like groundhog day. But I can't invent things either...

I try to break things into smaller chunks. Hope you find your way to gain satisfaction too.
