kids are being born into this version of the internet
what seems really important to me is that kids being born now don’t have a memory of life before all of this.
I can remember when social media was a separate thing... you went online, then you went back to normal life.
younger kids are growing up with algorithms as part of normal reality.
they don't even have good games made for them anymore... all games are built around retention.
social life happens mostly through platforms.
add AI into the equation.
they’re not experiencing technology being introduced into an already formed life.

everything eventually gets a meta
something I keep noticing is that almost everything online eventually develops a meta.
people figure out what works, copy it, improve it, and then everyone else has to adapt.
you see it in games very clearly. people stop just playing and start learning optimal builds, settings, strategies, rankings... whatever.
but the same thing happened to social media, dating, content, even how people present themselves.
once there is a number attached to something, people start optimizing for the number.
likes, followers, views, matches, elo, income... whatever.

what currently feels ordinary that would be missed if it disappeared?

give it 5 years, people will begin attaching status to being offline and difficult to reach

the traditional world imposed scarcity upon you and the modern world requires you to impose scarcity upon yourself

one of the biggest traps is thinking that at some point you will finally start living
once you have enough money, once you figure out what you want, once you fix yourself, once your life becomes more stable
and until then you are kind of preparing for life
i do this a lot
i spend so much time thinking about who i want to become, what i should build, what direction makes sense, what habits i need, what kind of life i actually want
and all of that feels useful because technically you are working on yourself
but at some point you realize you can spend years preparing the person who is supposed to

Qwen 3.8 27B Uncensored is definitely top 3 biggest things in AI this year

when you are a jack of many trades, you eventually run into a weird problem with self identification
I am a trader, builder, artist...
I am a forever scholar
so who am I exactly?
sometimes I’m jealous of people who can commit their whole life to one thing
it just seems simpler
you know what you are, what you do and what you are getting better at

improve the engine, then increasingly trust its first reasonable output.
and this applies to life too.

5 principles to live by
1. trust yourself to act,
not to predict everything.
2. let desire show you a direction
let a clear mind make a decision
once decided, move
don’t keep rethinking unless reality changes
3. care about how you look, how you’re perceived, and what others think,
but don’t let them author you.
4. build taste, competence, restraint,
and your own standards.
5. you don’t need to be fully understood.
