Using AI to write about how you should not use ai.
# When AI Makes You Less Productive
Artificial intelligence may increase productivity on average. It can generate drafts, summarize information, reorganize ideas, write code, produce illustrations, and convert rough thoughts into polished language in seconds.
But averages conceal individual outcomes.
For many people, depending on how they use it, AI will not increase productivity. It will decrease it. In some cases, it will create considerably more work than would have existed if the person had completed the task without AI.
The problem is not merely that AI occasionally makes mistakes. The deeper problem is that AI can produce incomplete work that looks finished.
## The Illusion of Completion
Before generative AI, unfinished work usually looked unfinished. A rough draft contained awkward sentences. An incomplete design had visible gaps. A poorly understood subject produced confused explanations. These defects warned the author and the recipient that more work was necessary.
AI removes many of those warnings.
It can take an incomplete description and produce something coherent, organized, confident, and professionally formatted. The result may have headings, logical transitions, complete sentences, and an authoritative tone. It may look like a finished product even when it is only a polished interpretation of an incomplete request.
This creates an illusion of completion.
The user sees something that appears substantially better than what he could have produced in the same amount of time. He therefore assumes that the work is substantially closer to being finished.
That assumption may be false.
The output may accurately reflect everything the user told the AI while omitting everything the user failed to mention. Those omissions are often the most difficult defects to detect because they do not appear as errors. They appear as absences.
You can correct a wrong sentence once you see it. It is much harder to identify the paragraph that was never written, the requirement that was never considered, the stakeholder who was never consulted, or the assumption that was never tested.
## Garbage In, Polished Garbage Out
The old computing principle still applies: garbage in, garbage out.
Generative AI adds a dangerous refinement:
**Garbage in, polished garbage out.**
The output may be grammatically excellent, logically arranged, and visually convincing. None of those qualities prove that it is complete, accurate, or suitable for its intended purpose.
AI generally works with the information and direction it has been given. It does not necessarily understand the full situation surrounding the request. It does not automatically know the unstated requirements, organizational history, interpersonal constraints, legal implications, technical dependencies, or practical consequences that the user has neglected to provide.
When information is missing, an AI system may do one of several things. It may omit the missing material. It may generalize. It may insert conventional assumptions. It may produce language that sounds specific without actually resolving the underlying uncertainty. In the worst cases, it may fill the gap with a plausible guess.
The result is often not obviously defective. It is deceptively adequate.
## Editing Can Be Harder Than Writing
People frequently assume that generating a draft with AI and then editing it will be easier than writing the material themselves.
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is not.
Editing AI-generated work requires a different and often more demanding kind of thought. The editor must reconstruct the actual purpose of the document, compare that purpose against the generated text, identify both errors and omissions, and determine whether the AI introduced assumptions that were never authorized.
This can be harder than writing the first draft.
When writing from the beginning, the author builds the argument or design incrementally. He knows why each element is present because he placed it there. He encounters uncertainties as they arise and is forced to resolve them.
When editing AI-generated material, the author receives a completed-looking structure all at once. He must reverse-engineer it. He must determine which parts are grounded in his instructions, which parts were inferred, which parts are conventional filler, and which essential parts are missing entirely.
The surface polish can interfere with this process. Clear prose creates cognitive confidence. Good formatting suggests organization. A strong conclusion suggests that the argument has been completed. The reviewer must deliberately resist these signals and examine the work as if it were unfinished.
## AI Can Transfer Work Rather Than Eliminate It
The productivity loss becomes greater when unfinished AI-generated work is delivered to other people.
A person may spend twenty minutes generating a proposal, report, specification, presentation, or plan and believe that he has saved several hours. But if the document is incomplete, those hours have not necessarily been saved. The work has merely been transferred.
A manager must identify the missing decisions. An engineer must resolve contradictory requirements. A client must explain information that should have been requested earlier. A colleague must distinguish factual content from plausible filler. A team may hold a meeting to repair misunderstandings caused by a document that was presented prematurely.
The original author experiences speed. Everyone downstream experiences rework.
From the perspective of the organization, productivity has declined.
This is especially dangerous because the person using AI may continue to believe he is highly productive. He is producing more documents,

In the beginning God created the heavens, the realm of spirit, and the earth, the realm wherein substance should be formed.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the waters lay within the void, undivided and without order, being the unshapen ground from which the things of the earth should be brought forth. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God spake by his Word, by whom all things are ordered, framed, and upheld, saying, Let there be light: and there was light. And the light went forth from God, and entered into the waters of the deep, dividing, ordering, and giving form according to the wisdom and purpose of his Word.

The bible is not God.
The pyramids were the epitome of Egypt, Egypt was filled with magic and wickedness. There is no need to be fascinated with them, they are irrelevant WRT the truth.
Dinosaurs were dragons.
Men's hearts are portals into spiritual realities.
You cannot deny the existence of evil, any more than you can deny that pain proves you exist.
Men interpreting truth is exactly why we all need direct access to it, because we all are imperfectly able to perceive it.
Nearly everything you hear about the bible from Christians is wrong.
The bible is an arrow, not the word of God itself.
The Word of God is the Logos.
You only have access to the spirit of truth by accepting that Christ is YOUR Lord. He will lead you to the Father. Narrow is the gate.

When a society treats subjective identity as overriding biological sex, it introduces uncertainty into sex-based expectations, language, boundaries, institutions, and duties. That uncertainty can reduce trust because people no longer know whether ordinary sex classifications may be relied upon or openly acknowledged.
The chilling effect could appear in several ways:
- Men may become less willing to extend informal deference or protection when they cannot trust the category being presented.
- Women may become less secure in sex-separated spaces or institutions.
- Ordinary interactions may become more guarded because accurate perception can conflict with required language.
- Employers, schools, churches, and associations may replace organic judgment with formal rules to manage disputes.
- People may withdraw rather than risk accusation, embarrassment, or coerced participation in another person’s self-conception.
- That could weaken relations between men and women by replacing tacit trust with suspicion and bureaucratic enforcement.
A society that makes biological sex socially unintelligible or legally unspeakable risks degrading the trust, boundaries, and reciprocal duties upon which relations between men and women depend. If sustained across family, law, education, and reproduction, that degradation can become civilizational rather than merely interpersonal.

2026-07-16 03:03:50 UTC

On trans-cis interactions :
Sex-based social consideration belongs to the relationship between two embodied persons, not solely to the self-description of one of them. No person has a unilateral right to trigger sex-specific obligations in another by substituting identity for biological reality.
Male deference toward women is not principally a reward for feminine style. It arises from recognition of female embodiment and the asymmetric realities attached to it.
A man perceives another person as female. That perception activates restraint, protectiveness, courtesy, lowered suspicion, altered boundaries, or reduced willingness to confront. Those responses occur partly below conscious deliberation.
The perceiving man bears the cost of miscalibration: embarrassment, social sanction, compromised boundaries, or accusations if he later corrects his behavior. That is deception because the presentation causes another person to allocate conduct on a materially false premise, even without an explicit verbal lie.
The remaining distinction is between the existence of the imposition and its degree. The imposition may be slight in a passing interaction and severe in intimate, private, competitive, custodial, or physically vulnerable settings. But sincerity does not eliminate the underlying asymmetry: one party controls the presentation, while the other absorbs the consequences of acting on it.

Remove OP_RETURN altogether? What is your definition of STANDARDNESS? To remove a default? If there is "no standard" than what is the default you propose? To refuse to run unless someone intentionally configures the parameter? All that could do is establish to a de-facto standard size.
It does nothing to address using outputs to hold data, which makes the utxo set demands ever worse. The OP_RETURN is almost a necessary feature to hash-stamp an out-of-band proof to a transaction. Yes, BIP110 is insufficient to stop spam, but it will implement resistance, and knots-style filters will add more resistance.
The only remaining alternative is to move to ZK proofs and/or encrypted UTXO destination addresses, not for privacy, but to eliminate the possibility of clear-text transactions and to provide liability protection through plausible deniability to node operators.

You're arguing two separate issues. 1) open up OP_RETURN and let the fer market decide rather than let the nodes filter transactions, and 2) the vbyte discount distorts the market price. I am not addressing issue (2) because it's irrelevant to issue (1). Changing (2) does not fix (1). You're essentially parroting a variant of core's position that spam should be handled by the market price of blockchain space. That's like saying "let the bandwidth of your email server limit the amount of spam that can get into your inbox, and all you need to do is increase the amount of good emails to crowd out the bad emails.

You are claiming ownership over my property due to my running a node. That is not ancap, that is not pragmatist. For me to have a right to deny you access to my property is a prerequisite of property itself. To insist I am committing violence by denying you access to the use if my property is arguing in bad faith. To invoke the Landauer principle against BIP110 is to use jargon you do not understand.
Either you are in cognitive dissonance, drunk or acting in bad faith. You pick.

You confuse violation of the NAP with self-defense. These are not the same kinds of force. Neither do I see how voluntary praxology is statist.

The topic shifts on nostr from week to week in my experience. I rarely see nostr talk other than software devs talking about what they are doing. My feed is bitcoin heavy, but only about 20%. The other 80% is anarchism, sovereign living, personal commentary, philosophy/metaphysics, politics and general news. It pretty much keeps my funnel full. If you're trying to follow "important people"/normie-intellectuals, you're on nostr way too early for that, though we will take all we can get to build the network effect.

Fee markets are driven my human preference. A majority who adopts rules restricting the use of their property, and limits the definition of what money they agree to trade in, is not a government. Prices are effected by these agreed-upon rules. It is true anarchist, self-sovereign, market-driven rules that flow out of this collaborative network of nodes who represent the choice of those who transact in their concensus-money. It is not "Democrat" or "Republican" it is "state" or "non-state". I am not saying BIP110 is either state or non-state, but the infiltration by the owner-class and state covert operations into the core team does represent the will of the state, and their anti-concensus behavior reflects an exercise of power under the cover of darkness, against the will of those who depend on them to reflect their collective will. BIP110 is merely an attempt to mitigate the damage done by the state.

Yes, but the "Republican" argument can also be the anarchist argument: "I will not be forced to sponsor things I disagree with, therefore if you want to utilize my property, you first must follow my rules."

It is a non-trivial operation to switch from core v28/v29 to knots. I suspect the majority of the "protestant" nodes are simply lazy and/or don't have the horsepower to run two nodes during the changeover.

Trump accounts are a hail-mary pass to bail out wallstreet. They know every dollar put in those accounts won't be touched for 60 or 70 years. It is an emotional-sale mechanism to extract money from grandparents and to surreptitiously sink government-lent money directly into the government-captured means of production through the minorship loophole of children.

Removing OP_RETURN limits is a hardfork, even if it's only at the relay layer.

Get ramps for oil changes, don't crawl under a car on stands. You can get them used from junk yards or Craigslist.
Get a fumoto valve to replace your oil plug, much cleaner, you can drain directly into an empty oil jug.
Cut an old gallon jug in half length wise and leave the screw cap on and hold it under the filter as you screw it off and let the filter fall into the jug.
This is how you do a spill-free oil change. A plastic oil pan is only needed to catch any drips in case something tips over or slides.

I started out doing my own oil. When I was "rollin" in it and had 4 vehicles to maintain, I would bring it into a local place and I trusted the owner. But then he hired different management, and he had jokers working there, then I notice an oil puddle in the garage so I go back to doing it myself.
I find out they overtightened the oil plug, they put the cheap filter on, they never checked the air filter after they said they did. There are only two fixes for a stripped out oil plug: A) a new oil plan, which involves lifting the engine and removing the exhaust manifold. Or B) a timesert. Option B doesent always work, but it did for me and against my better judgement the hard lesson over again: letting a dufus touch your engine costs way more than however much they charge.

$65 USD to change the oil at a jiffy lube.
$24 USD to change it at home.
stackin sats!
