No prob!

Therapy and coping strategies can help to a degree, but some brains will never self-organize no matter what. An LLM can be handed those tasks and be the role of arbiter of sequences, to "unlock" the person, basically a boss that says "okay, do this", and then guides you to the next thing.

A person with executive dysfunction can look at a room with 5 tasks, ask their brain what to do, and the brain can respond by essentially locking up, either as dissociation or extreme fatigue or just general anxiety, with no actual solution.

Neurotypicals get this information organized automatically at a sub-conscious level, so automatically that it can actually be impossible to conceive of information not coming to your conscious mind pre-organized. A person with executive dysfunction can outsource this missing process to an LLM.

Not being able to recognize the inherent structure or an intuitive structure of your own tasks or ideas is a daily frustration / hurdle for executive dysfunction, and its completely unique and subjective both to you and the moment.

If you have executive dysfunction (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, neurological disease), one of the life-saving applications of LLMs is structure & organization of your own thoughts, time, process, etc. It's what LLMs like ChatGPT seem to be especially good at - basically explaining to YOU what YOU are saying

Cops have almost complete immunity in the U.S. They can kill and permanently injure people without consequences. They can corruptly interfere with cases against people. They have zero obligation to help anyone in need, and have successfully argued in court that they do not "protect and serve".

My takeaway is: all of the critiques of LLMs / AI have merit, but moralizing at users of it is always going to miss the mark.

This is funny for the story the U.S. tells of itself, but this has never actually happened that way.

Yes. He said they do it not because of cost but because of quality at scale

4) It's driving me a little crazy the idea that the Democratic party has something it has to answer for when, in fact, the party undertook a totally unprecedented, wrenching, brutal, difficult effort to PUSH OUT THEIR OWN NOMINEE just a few months before election day!

Nuxt layers are cool! I used it on my current project before going a different route. That conf looks like it would have been right up my alley

Tim Cook has been very clear on this point: they don’t manufacture in China because of cost; they manufacture in China because of quality. Many companies say the exact same thing.

Meaning China has developed supply chain sophistication, expertise, and manufacturing at scale that the U.S. never had and does not have expertise in. In terms of delivering at that scale, there’s absolutely nothing Apple could teach them. If Apple knew how to do it, they would do it in the U.S.

Nope. American companies did. You are correct, but you still missed my point. Since that time, Chinese manufacturing and expertise has continued to grow as China has continued to invest, whereas the U.S. stopped investing.

I don’t know if you’ve been made aware of this but it’s not the 70s

Yeah it's crazy. We were all like, "Hey everyone, you should have a pet pigeon!" And then later we were like "nahh" and let them out into the wild.

The history of pigeons is so fascinating!

Hahaha China had all the expertise to begin with. China would have to teach the U.S.

Also, Americans don’t know how even if they wanted to. That is: the knowledge of how to build to that scale for all affected sectors does not exist in the U.S. You’d have to hire and relocate experts from
China.
