We talked a lot about how social algorithms are designed to make addicted. But when are we having the honest conversation that AI is optimized for engagement and satisfaction? When a user asks AI, it will provide a helpful and satisfying answer. EVEN IF the helpful response should be: "you should do the work or make the decision yourself". Today's generative AI chats are apparently designed to offload cognitive load, not to build cognitive capacity. This makes the entire relationship with AI addictive and thereby toxic.

No matter how much I want to be productive past 9PM (after kids fall asleep) it seems like an impossibility. When I compare it to early mornings, perhaps I'm with caffeine and nicotine at 15%. Today is my last day in bed past 9.30PM.

Warren Buffett is ending his Thanksgiving letter with timeless advice: • Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes. • Get the right heroes and copy them. • Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it • When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. • The cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman. His letter reads as though he feels his death is near. I learned a lot from everything Warren Buffett has written over his lifetime. I am extremely grateful for that. If there is one thing that he inspired me to do, it is to write publicly. While it feels as if nobody is reading what I write today, I know that there will be one single person 41 years from today who will be just as grateful that I published and not buried my thinking.

So, Nostr has AI bots? Sucks...
