I literally use this meme in a slide when teaching while and do while.

Lmao I was about to look into using that thing for work

That's admittedly a great point. I think my record was either 12 or 16 hours a day, but it's incredibly exceptional. Anything above 8 hours of actual, productive work is the result of high enjoyment and focus or a deadline panic mode that's not sustainable. I think setting 6 hours as a baseline and being able to tweak from there would be ideal, but setting an expectation of over 8 hours as a tradeoff for fewer days is harmful imo.

I should look into it. Truth be told, there's no pure capitalism or socialism. It's really a bunch of economic sliders different countries balance more towards one side or the other throughout history. What I meant to say is A) systems that lean enough towards capitalism are the more successful even if they're far from perfect and B) The way people throw around the "capitalism bad" idea just like that doesn't help in any way and I'm tired of it. It's a mix of raw frustration and copypasting of ideas without any real substance.

Cool story, bro

No, no, the other grind!

I just hope Armored Core 6 gets the same amount of love Elden Ring did this 24th.

The thing is, after enough digging you understand that LLMs are nowhere near as smart or as advanced as most people make them to be. Sure, they can be super useful and sure, they're good enough to replace a bunch of human jobs, but rather than being the AI "once thought impossible" they're just digital parrots that make a credible impersonation of it. The real AI, now renamed AGI, is still very far.

The worst part about this is that it reminds me that I'm close to having lived the statistical half of my life, damn.

Depends. I did manage to build a positive self-image, but I'm still an introvert. Occasionally I jump right into things or manage social situations smoothly, sometimes I hesitate and sometimes it's awkward. I don't suffer from imposter syndrome anymore though, in fact I tend to do things I literally don't know how to do and learn while doing them, and that feels great.
