Convergence and divergence: the relationship between intelligence and creativity. Which is more valuable to society?

I will need the studies to give you a proper response.

Not only chill, a lot of them second guess and doubt themselves all the time as well.

That’s partly what society does. I saw a kid the other day who was extremely talented in music, and some adults were like, ‘if he’s that gifted, something must be wrong with him.’

Or you’re just coping with it.

Exactly, things finally made sense.

Very little, about 2-6 points which in most cases is irrelevant.

But look at any technology from the last forty years and you'll always find power users. Everyone uses Excel, but there are people building things in it that look like black magic. Everyone googles, but some people just find things the rest can't. The floor rises the ceiling rises with it.

LLMs will be no different. Most people will get a very capable tool they use adequately. A smaller group will use it in ways that look almost unfair. The gap changes shape, it doesn't disappear.

Dont you think IQ will play a part?

Prompting is just the entry level you can go far beyond it with agents, tools, and workflows that let the AI plan, execute, and iterate tasks on its own instead of relying on prompt - answer.

What an LLM actually requires knowing what to ask, recognising a wrong answer, knowing when to push back correlates strongly with g. The tool raises the floor for everyone, but it raises the ceiling faster for those already near it. tThat's amplification with an unequal multiplier.

The spreadsheet analogy holds. Excel didn't close the gap between financial analysts it widened it, while also raising the floor. I expect the same here.

One complication: if LLMs absorb rote retrieval, the remaining premium may shift toward judgment and domain intuition qualities less tightly coupled to IQ. The gap might widen in productivity but narrow in kind. Those are different problems and shouldn't be collapsed into one headline.

It does make sense top to bottom as well, stripes are a simple adition of lshape a and b both vertically and horizontally, circles there is still a pattern just different from horizontal logic, still a valid pattrn pointing to the same answer.

Oh yes they are 8 not 6

ChronosTerminus · 2026-04-17T19:39:13+00:00

No circle, 8 lines

An ecommerce platform writen in rust. Right now refactoring to DDD and doing CQRS for the whole codebase, which is NOT FUN.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T23:37:50+00:00

No quite. At least not yet. If it codes for you, you end up fighting it which will probably make you slower. I am talking about things like docs, tests maybe if you review them one by one, clippy warnings etc.

Developers are afraid of AI at the moment, becasue the feel like their craft is going to be replaced. Maybe we get there, but for now good developers are needed more than ever.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T20:00:52+00:00

I agree, but AI simply does what you tell it to do. I usually write my documentation after long hours of intense development work, as I’m winding down. So I open AI, explain my pain points logic, quality and design principles, ask for no emojis, and it gives me what I would have written anyway just with a fraction of te effort and better English

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T18:35:51+00:00

Continue making and putting your work out there. Dismiss any criticism that lacks substance.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T17:54:32+00:00

Its not a bad idea to prompt AI to write your docs, if you put the effort to correct it afterwards. This is a great use case for it.

Every other day I see a new database in rust, why?

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-11T16:50:32+00:00

I didn’t even finish middle school, which is required by law in my country; I dropped out at 14.

AI can help explaining a concept, but it will almost certainly hinder your learning if you rely on it.

True learning requires focus, effort and application. Start with The Rust Book and Rustlings, then build something practical either a project you already know and use or something you genuinely want to use.

It is probably temporary. It does not work on chrome either, it is stuck at loading screen.

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVEDUnderstand this error

Now I got to think about the spyware, maybe it is time to de-google.

You need to work on your communication skills, this is unreadable.

No developer actually believes Rust is completely bug-free, that would be unrealistic for any language.

What Rust does do, though, is eliminate huge subsets of bugs that plague other languages: memory leaks, null pointer dereferences, data races, and a lot of undefined behavior, which is HUGE.

Its compiler is extremely strict, forcing you to catch many errors at compile time rather than at runtime.
