@nikks_techie Exactly!

@Blue8Alchemist Exactly. The highest-value thinking isn’t the part AI can do it’s deciding the problem, questioning the answer, and owning the final decision.

You do not need to use less AI. You need to know which thinking is worth keeping for yourself. Most people have never once asked the question.

@nikks_techie Water pipeline.. Post Office Sky Cooking All of these still exists... We can still experience them as well.

Life before the software engineer😭😭

A calculator took our arithmetic and we lost nothing. AI takes our judgment. That is not the same trade, and pretending it is may be the most expensive mistake of the decade.

I still use AI every day. This is not a put-the-tools-down argument. It is one question, in the half second before you reach for the machine: Is this a difficulty I should keep? Answer that, and you stay the author of your own mind.

SAFE to give away: remembering a number, spelling, arithmetic. You lose nothing real. NOT safe: forming your own opinion, sitting with a hard problem, building judgment. Give these away again and again and the muscle thins. Most things live in the messy middle.

I build AI for a living. It made me sharper and emptier in the same week, with the same tool. The difference is the thing almost no one is talking about. 🧵

Two things that scare me more than my own habits: Kids may never BUILD the muscle, not just lose it. And if we all run our thoughts through the same few models, our thinking slowly converges. The strange ideas, where progress comes from, get smoothed away.

The fix is not less AI. It is useful difficulty. Keep some hard thinking on purpose, because the effort is what keeps the mind alive. Like taking the stairs when the lift is right there. I let AI attack my argument. I write the argument first.

Why does it thin? Because the skill was never separate from the doing. We already know this. We remember less when we know we can look it up (the "Google effect"). Pilots and doctors who lean too hard on automation lose the skill, exactly when they need it most.

@airwarmedd Congrats! Did you get more impressions to your post which had videos?

posted 5th video today and this was my 1st milestone in my video content journey 🥹💪

@araseb_ AI slop is killing authenticity

normalize saying “i have no idea” instead of opening chatgpt in another tab.

@JunaidAckroyd So true... go anti trend

The future belongs to those who aren't in the training data

If AI is the trend. What is Anti Trend?

@jm_martiinez Start with one .. FOCUS

sometimes i think my biggest problem is that i don't want to build one company. i want to build ten.

@jm_martiinez With u on this journey

i'm not the best programmer. i'm not the smartest engineer. but i genuinely love creating things. and i've learned that passion can take you surprisingly far.
