  • I can understand this to some degree, but I largely disagree.

    AI is a tool. The user of the tool should be the one that carries responsibility. I don’t have the stats, but I imagine that most jobs that relied on hand tools suffered more injury when power tools were introduced, but again, it’s up to the person using the tool to use it responsibly.

    Granted, thats not a perfect analogy because AI definitely doesn’t present the same marked improvements as power tools, but the responsibility of the user doesn’t change.



  • The problem is always about authority. The system that enforces the rules is more important than the rules themselves

    Communism typically fails because the systems that manage it are corruptible. Capitalism has the opposite problem. If there are no rules surrounding what industry is allowed to do, they will always choose the most profitable thing.



  • As others have said, light exercise is okay at pushing the feeling down. Anecdotally, a change in scenery also helps me when I get that way. Go for a walk somewhere you haven’t been before and see what’s there.

    Also the 54321 rule seems to help ground me if I feel myself start to spiral.

    • Name 5 things you can see
    • Then 4 things you can touch
    • Then 3 things you can hear
    • Then 2 things you can smell
    • Finally 1 thing you can taste

  • I also have this problem, but for me it’s an ADHD stimulation thing. On a screen, you can take breaks between reading large passages by switching between tasks

    With books, thats a lot harder to do. The thing that fixed it for me was switching to audiobooks. That means now I can “read” while driving, or doing the dishes, or cooking.
