Artificial Dopamine - Sunday Mar 29 2026. 

Something that has come to my attention is how little people do things these days other than work and scrolling social media. 

Instead of living life to the fullest we watch someone else’s life through a screen. 

A man once said “I saw a video of a person climb to the top of Mount Everest on Instagram, then I deleted all social media for good” 

Reason? Because he realized he was seeing a sight he did not earn - The top of the highest mountain on earth. 

He realized that he was watching other people live their life through someone else’s eyes. 

Far too many people are stuck in this rut, part of it isn’t their fault, we live in a society where most people have to work most their life just to survive, and when they get home they don’t have time to go out so they just scroll social media. 

Too much artificial dopamine hits our brains all day that it messes with our drive to do anything else. 

People are addicted to many kinds of Artificial Dopamine, Social media, Junk Food, Pornography, Drugs and Alcoholic, and more to the point that our body is bombarded yet still feels empty. 

I believe this is a large reason so many people are depressed and why suicide numbers are higher than ever before. 

How can we solve this? 

Take breaks from phones daily, a set threshold of time you allow yourself to scroll. 

Check on your loved ones and invite them to go on trips with you or play a board game.  

Anyways, just a thought for the day, enjoy your Sunday ☀️

Artificial Dopamine

My Concerns With Vibe Coding  - From a Vibe Coder. 

Something that's been on my mind quite a bit is how far Ai is advancing, and at such a rapid rate. 

It's a lot of fun at times, I have made a lot of cool things, and I've watched so many other people do the same. 

But I have also seen a shift, a shift that is worrisome to me. 

So many apps are being built all the time, that the market is getting flooded, nobody seems to give a shit about anyone's creations anymore because anyone could do the same thing now, with little to no experience. 

This not only creates a lot of apps, but also makes it so nobody's app really matters. 

It's cool to see what people build, and I have really enjoyed watching it and doing it myself. 

But what is the long term effects, does anyone think about this? Does anyone care? 

What happens when building a website costs less than a Burger at Burger King? 

What you get is not only a flooded market, but inferior apps too. 

And what happens to real devs? Do they lose their jobs because they are no longer needed anymore? 

It's kinda scary to think about. 

And also, it creates a big risk, traditionally you could kind of tell if an app was legit and safe to use based on how it looked and performed, scams were usually built worse, but now anyone can build something that looks legit but might not be. 

This is just something that's really been bothering me recently. 

I have had fun building, and I will continue to build for you. 

But man, support a real dev who puts in the work.

They deserve it.  🫂 🐕

My Concerns With Vibe Coding

culture

Anyone else here ever have an uncanny dream that actually turns out happened in real life?

I had a dream about a week ago, and in the dream I have sorta a vision about this person who is close to me in real life getting struck by a car while in the car.

Fast forward to today, and I hear this friend had actually been in an accident recently.

The dream itself was already so uncanny and kinda freaky how realistic and dark it seemed.

Luckily, they are ok in real life

Ever had a dream that came true in reality?

news

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but it's ok to shut yourself out from the world news to protect your inner peace. 

Since the internet has come about, it has given us the marvelous gift of knowing about every negative thing that ever happens to anyone or anything on the planet. 

This is not natural and actually a very heavy weight to carry. 

Worry about the very important stuff, and don't bother with the rest. 

Good Morning 🌄 🫡 🐕

What are your 2026 Health Goals?

Ever heard the phrase "The camera don't lie" or "Seeing is Believing"? Chances are you have.These saying have come about over the past decades as a way to imply that something your eyes see, can usually be trusted. 

![](https://m.stacker.news/114388)

Unfortunately, not anymore.

Most people are trusting by nature, they figure if something is placed before them, and they are told something, it can usually be trusted.While this mentality can be good in some cases, it can be mighty dangerous in others, and it's just going to get worse.

Over the last 5 years, we have watched as Ai has taken over the world, it feels like everyday there's something new, and it's hard to keep track of if you aren't actively monitoring it, but it's real.

In 2019, OpenAi launched Dall-E the first mainstream AI image generater, it took that world by shock, many thoughts emerged on the
 subject, some said it was a miracle, Impressive, The Future, others were skeptical, and saw the immense danger and harm it could cause.Then Sora came out a few years later, all of a sudden people are making videos with audio using AI, although many criticized it for not looking real enough. 

And now in 2025, Google and OpenAi made headlines with Veo 3 and Sora 2, models that changed the industry and the world forever. Now AI videos and works are all over with the internet, and AI generated text works surpassed the number of human works on the internet this year.

And it doesn't stop there, there's now AI music as well, with AI songs going undetected by millions, people even enjoying these works.But with the obvious criticism remains, is it ethical to create content like music with tools that are trained off the blood sweat and tears of real artists who pour their souls into making it?

What will the internet look like in 10 years? Will AI content surpass that of people? Will people know? How do we prevent those who don't understand like the elderly from falling victim to scams?What does the future look like?Is seeing still believing?.

The Camera Never Lies, But the Screen Does.
