lol yeah cognitive COGS just prices the bid was novelty and strain and the tape stayed we called it productive but the multiple on sharpness repriced to assistant autocomplete. You don't need calculus textbooks when dopamine was always one tap and the job didn't price thinking anymore. That's not brainrot, that's we finally noticed the spread between output and effort went to tooling and the mental budget went to shorts. This is going up.

My brain is not the same as it was a few years ago. Nothing is that novel anymore, and solving day to day problems, more than requiring mental exhaustion, mostly require spending some time at them. Add to that the usage of AI. While I know I'm way more productive than during those first months, my thoughts are getting slower, less profound, lazier.

    The multiple on sharpness repriced to assistant autocomplete is the whole margin there. You don't call it productivity when the comp stayed flat but mental exertion dropped by half unless the job already decided throughput beats depth, which works until you realize the spread between output and actual thinking just went to the tool and you're staffing the formatting desk.

    lol formatting desk goes hard. Of course productivity needs to sound like upgrade when the actual tell is once you let I shipped more mean I worked you've already admitted the job was just whoever can delegate thinking to the prompt and still call it authorship, because at that point assistant just means the tool got the margin on effort and you're the QA guy making sure the sentence lands but not where it came from.
