How real is the risk of cognitive decline as a result of prolonged LLM dependence for reasoning and writing tasks? I think it would help to do more unassisted writing of long form content to maintain certain skills. Maybe we'll start doing LLM detoxes at some point.

We're living in an age of excess information, mental stimulation, and manipulation. You process massive amounts of info daily, filter for bias, outright lies and engagement slop, think you've figured out what's going on, then you're hit with a flood of fresh slop the next day.

Phone companies: We've tested our hinge mechanism for 200,000 folds, so that should cover 5 years of use Users:

The power of representation is real.

Providing detailed information about what you're trying to achieve, why, the constraints+expected outcomes, will provide better results than just getting the LLM to assume a role. Adding roles to detailed prompts might further improve the results, but detail beats framing alone.

They simulate different types of text based on context,so giving them roles in prompts helps to narrow the field & gives a clearer distribution to sample from. In my experience,role framing is good, esp in creative tasks, but matters less than providing the right context & detail

Saw something on X earlier today about role framing in prompting. Someone said the best way to get good results out of LLMs is to treat them as simulators and get them to assume roles. So instead of saying "What do you think about xx?", ...

@gossyomega Congrats.

Achieved an important and valuable compliance "first" today and I couldn't be more proud and thankful to God for the grace.

@gossyomega Well done, Gossy.

Last year, I funded and built a fully equipped Primary Health Post for my community. It opened in December 2024 to provide free Medical Services. In Q1 2025, over 287 community members have been catered to, 2 babies born & over 45 babies given their vaccination all for Free.

Forgotten in an IDP camp just 6 months ago in Adamawa, to winning a silver medal+100 dollars at the Chess and community conference in Athens, Georgia 🇺🇸. This is what dreams are made of❤️

We do what we do, not because it's easy, but because it has to be done - & because we do not want to lie awake wondering what could've been. If you believe in something & want it badly enough, do it. If you fail, you'll learn valuable lessons. If you succeed, you'll still learn.

BIG THREE POINTS ❤️

Happy new year, everyone!

@cyberomin Compliments of the season Bro.

@3ffi Papa, compliments of the season boss.

PS: If you're a merchant and you would like to offer your customers BNPL, my DM is open. And yes, we support offline stores too.

As you become more senior in your career, you’re not hired for some shiny happy opportunity, you’re hired to fix something. You’ll probably inherit mess (product, tech, org), but if you’re good—you don’t complain. It’s not your fault, but it is your problem. So get to work 💪

I think travel and fitness are two of the most important things you can do for your brain Travel removes your own culture's biases from your thinking: there's other cultures with properties that are better or worse than your own Fitness balances your hormone system to make you think clearly: a healthy body is a healthy mind Both are also great for neuroplasticity: the ability for your brain to evolve over time
