Before cars, I imagine fewer people ran marathons for fun...and more people starved to death.
My cousin has about the same physical properties as I. He has a car, I don't. My cousin works out 1ce a week for an hour, me 5x 45min. We both have office jobs. My cousin does not eat fast food, smoke or drink. Me... all 3 (though I try to not drink more than twice a month, which has helped). I have significantly more body fat than my cousin.
I'd argue it's not the car per-se. I think it's the lifestyle changes that come with it. More psychology and sociology than biology.
And that makes me wonder: what about AI?
I think that I have at least 2x'd my thinking since I started evaluating and then using AI. I resolve choices about frameworks in days now that used to take weeks 20 years ago. And I am 20 years older. I have for a couple of months, while I have been building out my setup, reviewed code in more languages in rapid succession than ever before. I've made designs for systems that would have taken me months in the past in just a day.
The only thing that is really really tempting is that merge button. I do not give in. I review, I assess. I do not want to be a fucking retard.
Psychology! Resist the urge to be a dumb lazy mf. Sociology! Ignore the peer/guru pressure from retards on twitter (like this moron Karpathy) and resist becoming a yoloboi. Read, assess, improve. Don't ship shit that is not ready.
And I think I'm burning massive amounts more calories now because these AIs stress me out. I'm sooner feeling the "close to burnout" alert... like daily. Getting lean, getting shit done... and not being a retard. Go me!
