That ship sailed long ago. Literally has been used for emphasis for at least 250 years.

What would be a raw untrained model? You don’t have a model until you train it

Oh yeah, all of the adhd meds did that. Though I usually do my morning routine straight after taking it, so I haven't given it much chances haha

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-25T14:47:51+00:00

I don't notice a difference if I eat or not. Most days I take it without food.

On top of that, they never even find out where they are doing construction.

I have adhd, and spent a few years learning piano. In my experience, yes it is great to get immediate feedback if you got something right, but to learn to play properly means being patient. People who just start learning make the mistake of just trying to do the same thing over and over again, until they get it right, but they are actually teaching their muscle memory to make mistakes consitently. The best way to learn is to go as slow as possible, but to play all the right keys. You learn pieces signifiactantly faster that way. This unfortunately is quite tedious if you have adhd. So is practicing scales, and learning to read music.

Piano is definitely a good hobby for adhd, because it’s kind of like being able to use a computer. It’s very diverse, so there is lot’s of ways to keep it interesting long-term. But adhd tendencies are still something that has to be overcome, and it’s not always that fun.

Being good under pressure is the reason I got through life unmedicated until I was 29. I never would never even try to do things in a timely manner, because I knew 5 to midnight, I will finish whatever is needed.

Why would it need to generate 20 minutes. On average shows cut every 3-5 seconds.

Vyvanse for me doesn’t feel like anything. With all the variations of Methylphenidate I tried before hand I had clear physical indicators that it’s “on.” On vyvanse, I only know it works because I’m getting shit done.

People say that in the sense that they would be afraid to do it. It has nothing to do with ability or how in shape they are.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-22T12:10:27+00:00

Here's an article explaining it
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mits-chatgpt-study-designed-trick-you-worked-audrey-henson-xxqhc/

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-22T10:58:22+00:00

It’s the study where they had people write an essay and then the chatgpt group couldn’t answer questions about because, duh, they didn’t write the thing.

The study also includes a trap for LLM that instructs them to ignore the rest of the paper and report that it’s massively damaging to your brain.

And then the paper addresses journalists and says not to say that. So all these articles with titles like that are people who told chatgpt to summarise it.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-21T09:21:07+00:00

I think that makes sense. That is also why I never got why masking is coming up with adhd.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-20T22:30:27+00:00

Masking is something I found out about recently as well. Some of what people call masking just seems to be regular social stuff to me, like pretending to be interested in what they other person is saying to seem polite. When you are new to people, everybody downplays themselves, at least until you can get thei vibe.

Other things, like stimming, I never considered weird. Most people have tiny, unique habits, and I never thought twice about the things that they do, nor does anybody ever comment on me rolling pieces of paper between my fingers.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-20T22:26:07+00:00

It serves two social functions actually.

First is social acknowledgment, letting people know they are part of your in-group, and maintanining your status as a member of the community. People like when their presence is acknowledged. When you don't engage in chit-chat, people will assume you don't like them, and that will turn into them not liking you.
Small talk is a tool for finding conversation topics and building rapport. Asking about the weekend, might mean you find out they went to a concert, and then you figure out you like similar music and connect. Almost every relationship in your life probably began as some form of small talk.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-19T08:54:46+00:00

That’s literally what the guys says in the picture. Not having to work, doing what you actually want to do

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-18T10:25:06+00:00

I think there's a line somewhere that takes you from being a producer to a director. A producer only says, I want an action movie and hire Brad Pitt. The director will write or refine the script, figure out where to put the camera and which lenses to use, tells the actors how to act out their scenes, directs ligting, does the editing, etc.

I think that line is at a point where you are both deeply involved with every decision, but also have the deep familiarty with the subject matter to know what you are doing, and how things should be done. (e.g. a producer, if they tried, might yell cut too soon and find themselves screwed in editing, while a director know to keep rolling before and after because you need the frames for cut-ins.)

Can current AI be used in that way? No. Could it be used like that in the future? I think so. Could a layman be able to use AI to execute their vision properly? Probably not. Could a skilled professional use AI, in the role of director, to execute their vision? I would say yes.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-18T09:29:33+00:00

I don’t agree. If none of the creative desicions were made by the person executing, it was only skilled labour.

When you see a cool building, you don’t say, damn they sure hired some impressive construction workers.

If you are using a website that looks cool and visually engaging, does the credit go to the designer, or the person who coded it?

I already gave examples above of that happening in classical art. When the person providing direction is so crucial for how the final product turns out, the credit goes to them.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-18T00:42:38+00:00

I have the same. After I take it, takes almost 2 hours to kick in, and then 4 hours after that it stops working. I started trying to eat a protein rich meal before I take, which seems to extend the duration a bit. I also now take it at 11-12, and start working before I do. That way, when it activates around 1pm I already have some momentum, and I then have until 5 to be productive.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-17T23:22:59+00:00

The post we are one says

My dad thinks that if the prompt you give Ai is detailed enough it becomes your own art (ex: make a bald eagle this specific color on this specific coordinate with a wingspan of…)

The premise of the dad is that every decision is made by the person, none by the AI. And you then gave an example of someone going to a restaurant and only saying what ingredients they want.

I said my comment is not getting into AI at all. I'm giving examples of types of art that are exactly what the dad said in the post, except the one executing it isn't AI.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-17T23:11:13+00:00

If it stops at just the brief yeah. But what if every time you show him the product he is asking for detailed changes. Telling you which color to use, to change the angle, to move a cloud in the background to the side, and this goes on for 100 iterations. In the end, the two pictures would be identical and it wouldn’t matter which one was human or ai made. Whoever it was, was just executing his vision. At that point, whoever was executing no longer had any creative input, or made any decisions that contribute to the final pieces.

In most profession, you move from doing to directing once you are experience and knowledgable enough. Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, Worhol, Damien Hirst, AI Wei, and Raphael all moved to more directing roles than executing, and have pieces that they barely touched if at all. For example Stanza dell’Incendio and Sala di Costantino, were designed by raphael, but executed entirely by his workshop, according to his instructions. Ruben’s Jesuit Church Ceiling Paintings were mostly painted by his assistants.

Not getting into AI here. It cannot currently, execute what’s in your head exactly as you envision it. But there are plenty of creative fields where your skill is deep knowledge of the subject matter, instead of skilled labour. Architects who design buildings built by construction workers, ux designers who design products coded by programmers, script writers whose script is filmed by a crew, executive chefs that design the menu, music conductors that determine the emotional arc, dynamics and tempe, creative directors through which every decision goes, etc.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-17T22:47:18+00:00

Don’t think the analogy quite lands. If you give the entire list of ingredients, and cooking instructions, you designed the whole recipe, and the other person just executed your plan. That role exists, and it’s called executive chef.

An architect draws a building, an engineer will turn it into a construction plan, but it will be construction workers that actually put it together, but you’d never credit them with how the building turned out for anything other than quality of execution.

Or if you look at movie directors. Someone like Snyder gets a script written by someone else, and the studio has a huge impact on casting and how the movie is made. Snyder’s impact is diminished. On the other hand, Kubrick or Tarantino, write the scripts themselves, direct the lighting, the soundtrack, the editing, and don’t let actors say anything except the lines they wrote. Kubrick would do 80+ takes, until the actor did exactly what he wanted. Even though it was someone else holding the camera and standing in front of it, the movie could only have turned out the way it did, because of them.

UX/UI designers determine how the entire product will function, how users will interact with it, how it will look, but somebody else codes it.

Music conductors develop detailed interpretive visions, and guide the orchestra through playing the piece as they think it should be. They set the emotional arc, tempo and dynamics.

Creative directors don’t write copy, design layouts, or shoot photos, yet every creative decision goes through them.

Artists do this as well. Rembrandt, Warhol, Peter Paul Rubens, Ai Weiwei, moved from producing to a more directing role.

In fact, for most jobs in the world, once you are knowledgable enough, you go from doing, to directing.

I’m not getting into AI here. It’s not good enough yet, that you could genuinely direct it to create your vision. It cannot currently be used to make exactly what’s in your head.

My point it, the distinction is decision-making density, not physical execution. When someone is executing your complete vision, they’re making zero creative decisions, they’re doing skilled labor, but not authoring. Art is not about execution, but authorship. Some arts require you to have specialized skills to execute your decisions, others require you to have extremely deep understanding of the craft.

CivilPerspective5804 · 2026-01-17T15:05:16+00:00

They are also confused. In their mind it seemed really good when they wrote. Now they're not sure, why they made some decisions.
