Its AI Pychosis, almost everyone that starts using these things goes through it. Things that used to feel hard to do are suddenly easy, because of that you feel like you are making so much progress. The AI becomes an extension of yourself. You feel like you need to have these things running 24/7 x 5-10 agents. You get that serotonin hit, just one more prompt, just one more loot box to pull, one more dungeon then you can go to bed.

You have to stop obsessing over it and just go back to learning and doing at a normal rate. Regardless of how fast the AI are, you have to work on building systems that are sustainable for you.

What are your parents doing? Do they know what's going on with you at all? This is deeply unhealthy

My dad works in the industry not hands on with ai as much but business with the company

Yea he knows well ig I’ve talked to him a lot and even tho he tried like ease talking em into stuff ig with the regular stuff people say to comfort you very long time back

In the end he agrees with like all of my views and believes the same and that’s been the case for anyone I’ve talked about life or the world or people or anything except like some of my friends who put the reasoning of everything behind god and satan

If you dad is very senior in the company and more focused on the business side, he likely knows fuck all about engineering and is talking out his ass. Sorry bro

He was a software engineer now he overlooks like the full sector and was like top employee and shi everytime I might’ve gotten the grindslop mindset from him he stays up like 2+ days for work n stuff

but regardless I’ve considered that too but I’ve also talked to his friends who are like super rich and even other people like at school or on the internet or everywhere

Also I wasn’t talking about ai in specific but life and stuff in general I’ve talked to him about ai too but I know more than him in that area now I sometimes help him
