Excellent rundown of Kahneman’s systems 1 and 2 thinking. Well done, friend.

Ooooh coming from you this is quite a compliment. This reminds me of the time my really hard algebra teacher wrote “Great Job!” on the top of my test. I still remember that day with pride.

A related concept in one of my news feeds that popped up today is the "exploitation gradient" presented by Parker Malloy in https://open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/p/oh-no-what-is-jim-acosta-doing?r=bzuve&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Postscript. Just saw your post on Acosta's interview a few moments after I posted comment below.

Yeah, that’s a whole other can of worms that I’ll get into further sometime soon, but wow – there is some really grim stuff when you go down that rabbit hole, as you probably noticed when you read my short piece on it. I have spent a fair bit of time in online communities with people who have parasocial relationships with AI, and I will probably always carry some degree of trauma from those experiences. Having said that, I would never completely abandon those communities because someone has to bear witness.

It's the history of propaganda, upgraded for the digital age.

Wow, I never realized this was happening. I'm going to look out for this. Also, I like the video format. It compliments the written format really well and adds a personal feel.
