  • I dont have ADHD but I did (do?) have depression.

    Although not the specifics, I’ve felt the same way so many times.

    I’ve also felt that no one else has ever felt this way

    I’ve also felt that I would never get better, nor did I want to get better

    It can be better. You can be better.

    The important thing is to stay safe.






  • This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

    I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

    It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

    • Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
    • you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
    • engage primarily with people in that niche
    • get to know them, build an online friendship
    • get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
    • nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
    • unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
    • expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that’s at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.






  • different guy here. It seemed to be fairly useful for software engineers to solve quick issues where the answer isn’t immediately obvious - but it’s terrible at most other jobs.

    And part of why it’s bad is because you have to type into a text box what you want and read it back (unless you build you own custom API integration- which goes without saying is also a terrible way to access a product for 99% of people)

    Another part of why it’s bad is because you’re sharing proprietary information with a stranger that is definitely cataloging and profiling it

    Very few people interact with language in a way that is bidirectionally friendly with AI, and AI just isnt very good at writing. It’s very good at creating strings of words that make sense and fit a theme, but most of what makes “very good” writing isn’t just basic competency of the language.
