@VoidAsuka Our brains are just not wired to handle the excesses of modern life, between the extremely addictive junk food, endless news cycle and social media dopamine hits and now this.
The safeguarding of our attention is our biggest challenge and also our most important work.

ai was supposed to automate the boring stuff so our prefrontal cortex can focus. instead it's the opposite: most people are stuck in permanent beginner mode in different area, burning executive attention to babysit something we don't really understand.
our brain has a central bottleneck - the prefrontal cortex can only consciously process one thing at a time. "managing multiple AI agents" is just forcing serial task-switching with extra steps. and we can't automate supervising something that we dont know well, so the cognitive load never transfers to unconscious routines. our working memory stays maxed out.
worse, every time AI gets something wrong, your brain fires prediction error signals - the same surprise response as hearing a grammatical mistake in a sentence. except now you're processing hundreds of these per day. each one forces a model update, eats executive resources, and eventually the whole system crashes into burnout.
ai brain fry is what happens when tool design violates the biological architecture of human cognition.
Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai
New Harvard Business Review research reveals that excessive interaction with AI is causing a specific type of mental exhaustion ( or AI brain fry), which is particularly hitting high performers who use the tech to push past their normal limits. A survey of 1,500 workers reveals that AI is intensifying workloads rather than reducing them, leading to a new form of mental fog. While AI is generally supposed to lighten the load, it often forces users into constant task-switching and intense oversight that actually clutters the mind. This mental static happens because you aren't just doing your job anymore; you are managing multiple digital agents and double-checking their work, which creates a massive cognitive burden. The study found that 14% of full-time workers already feel this fog, with the highest impact seen in technical fields like software development, IT, and finance. High oversight is the biggest culprit, as supervising multiple AI outputs leads to a 12% increase in mental fatigue and a 33% jump in decision fatigue. This isn't just a personal health issue; it directly impacts companies because exhausted employees are 10% more likely to quit. For massive firms worth many B, this decision paralysis can lead to millions of dollars in lost value due to poor choices or total inaction. Essentially, we are working harder to manage our tools than we are to solve the actual problems they were meant to fix. --- hbr .org/2026/03/when-using-ai-leads-to-brain-fry

My newest project is building all my loved ones custom cyberdecks for the p2p mesh network I run. Inspo images :)
I was gonna send out the hardware and make people build it themselves but the chances of them actually completing it is nil. May as well have fun customizing them ✨

@stellachenyl As someone growing up in Singapore, unfortunately I tend to agree. I went to a Chinese school in Singapore. Even then, a lot of my classmates wear being westernized as a badge of honor because they do not want to associate with mainlander Chinese that they perceive to be uncool
English
Chinese Malaysians are decent and seen as most traditional but some also are comfortable being fully westernized.
Chinese Indonesians have an excuse but many of them are becoming very proud of their culture.
Singaporeans, HK, Taiwan and US Chinese on the other hand a lot seem fine with voluntarily westernizing themselves.
English
I apologize if I sound insulting to most overseas Chinese, but I wonder why many overseas Chinese nowadays don't care about Chinese traditions. Majority cultures in other countries respect Chinese only when Chinese follow traditions. Nobody allows Chinese to stop being Chinese.
English
@stellachenyl @cmc_r3vilo The Hungry Ghost Festival is also widely observed. You’ll see people burning joss paper, setting up offerings, and organizing getai performances. In fact, some of these practices are even more visible in Singapore than in mainland China today
English
@stellachenyl @cmc_r3vilo yes and no.
Chinese Singaporeans still follow quite a lot of Chinese traditions. For example, Chinese New Year people celebrate with reunion dinners, traditional foods, and visiting relatives.

@Lumpenpancakes This sounds exactly like Aussie HKers, HKers everywhere tbh

@CTankie1917 @StevenGlinert @phl43 Stanford is extremely radical though and she said she received harassment and death threats on campus
English
@StevenGlinert @phl43 SF Bay Area is also full of Chinese Americans and Chinese nationals with work visa. They dgaf the Eileen Gu chose to represent China
Also it was stupid nationalism to begin with.
Eileen winning or not winning medals for or not for US literally has 0 impact on anyone’s lives.
English
I do feel like hate of Eileen gu was a good example of Twitter bubble being angry and everyone else being sorta normal.
San Francisco Chronicle@sfchronicle
Olympic skiing superstar Eileen Gu returned to her hometown Saturday as the grand marshal of the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco. As the city drummed to life, spectators nudged up to the barricades for a better look, before Gu entered stage left in a red Ford Mustang convertible in a matching red dress. Young kids accompanied by their parents struggled to contain their awe: “Oh! Eileen! Eileen!” “Hearing about her and looking at her through the social media lens, I think it’s very different from really seeing her in person,” observer Jaime Presto told the Chronicle. “She’s an inspiration.” Read more → sfchronicle.com/sports/olympic…

@StevenGlinert She said she had to deal with death threats and physical assaults at Stanford, don't think it's strictly an online thing but maybe more noise on X
English
@henloitsjoyce It is the result of having too many cool people and options for things to do.
When I was living in SF, it was common for people to agree to plans and then flake because they had a better offer. That's why it's called San Fran Flakers
English
relationships in sf are shallow and transactional.
my first month in sf, every week i sent out 80 cold dms to people on this site. about 30 would reply, 15 would be serious and give me a time, and i'd meet 5-10 a week. it was so extreme that people joked that i was a spy sent to befriend founders. but i really just wanted to make friends to share food and go on hikes with.
after a month i'd met enough people that i finally started getting the super secret partiful invites rather than the public luma ones. then i started hosting my own things and would try to have at least 50 people i know show up every time.
unfortunately i still had a life in singapore to maintain, so i had to leave every 6 months for a few months at a time, and everytime i got back i had to reset my social circle because people whom i thought were my friends and came to eat my food and drink my drinks suddenly pretended to forget me bc i'd been away for 3 months.
now that i'm back in sf fulltime, i'm much more protective of my time and energy and who i choose to spend it on. in my first month back i was sad that a lot of the people i thought i knew had moved on to high school-esque gatekeepy group chats and house parties. people would invite me to lunches and not show up.
but i now have a beautiful small group of friends that i'd absolutely go to bat for, and my weekends have never been more packed with activities that fill my soul.
it only took me 2 long years to get here. keep going, you'll find your people eventually.

If you've eaten so much that it's not healthy to eat more and you don't want to eat more, and you still eat more anyway "to finish the food", then you are just using your mouth as a garbage can.

@munawwarfiroz @metakuna Lol I wish. Train tickets in the Netherlands are prohibitively expensive. Most people people who travel for work pay a few hundred euros per month, and could only afford it because the company pays for it.
English
@metakuna And the full price for the train was probably $5.

My gf is begging for a rose gold or pink MacBook to come back and they just don't sell it
Knowing that Apple innovates absolutely nothing with new MacBook models they might as well give us a better range of colors to buy?
Robert Bork III@BobbyBorkIII
Apple should make a Macbook in British racing green.
English
@levelsio I'm with her 😭😭😭
WHY THERE'S NO ROSE GOLS MACBOOK?!
Cases don't feel the same and make it look cheaper. If you ever find a case that works like a car wrapper, I would love to know
She might like this marble case, though!! and pink sticker

Chinese alchemy and western alchemy also have a lot of overlapping concepts

There’s no way Ancient China and the Aztec empire both just so happened to come up with almost the exact same idea The only logical explain here is that dragons were real but have been hunted to the point of almost near extinction over the centuries
