Find people in her field who are already hopping on the wave. Better still, gently persuade her to find those people. She'll probably know where to look. In fact, I'd be surprised if her professional newsletters aren't already starting to surface those folks.

So... ummm... the website and all the submitter's comments here seem very Claude generated, no?

Spam filters are going to have to get a lot more sophisticated. "Slop" filters, even.

I'm unsure of how this information is being presented. But it's entirely possible for the majority of people on Earth to avoid all those things. And it's entirely possible for many people who are (perhaps unwittingly) funding U.S. defense companies to stop doing so.

> It's already illegal to threaten journalists [in] America

Not necessarily, it depends on the pressure and the intent.

> In America we generally make bad things illegal, not activities that could become motivation for bad things.

I didn't mention making anything illegal. I suggested constraining Polymarket and similar.

> Should we ban [X]

I didn't mention banning anything.

A crossword puzzle generator, just for fun. Grid generator in Python because it's easy to hack around and grid generation doesn't need to be particularly fast. Go for populating the grid with words because with large grids there are combinatorial explosions, and Go's speed is beneficial.

Not source-available yet because it's a bunch of hacks (particularly the Python) but maybe one day.

It very much depends on the crime. The truly awful stuff is committed by intelligent people.

And there's always a product provider who's willing to add that flag, despite all the warnings.

To save people the digging, here's the git repo:

https://github.com/dmtrKovalenko/fff.nvim

"FFF stands for freakin fast fuzzy file finder (pick 3) and it is an opinionated fuzzy file picker for your AI agent and Neovim. Just for file search, but we do the file search really fff well.

FFF is a tool for grepping, fuzzy file matching, globbing, and multigrepping with a strong focus on performance and useful search results. For humans - provides an unbelievable typo-resistant experience, for AI agents - implements the fastest file search with additional free memory suggesting the best search results based on various factors like frecency, git status, file size, definition matches, and more."

Kudos for listing the things you're *not* willing to work on, and for those things in particular.

Erm.... you're not exactly proving them wrong are you.

I feel this sneaking up on me. I've only recently allowed Claude to actually edit some files directly, rather than just show me suggested edits. It could certainly be addictive to just hit enter while code magically appears, thinking "oh yeah, I totally would have done it like that".

> rapidly leading to task paralysis with the sheer scale of the plan.

Yikes. I feel seen.

So let's say there's a causative link (see other comments here for why this may not be the case), it would take a lifetime of daily complex spatial navigation for several hours every day to significantly reduce Alzheimer's disease risk, and it's still not guaranteed. If there's a linear dose response (a big if) it would still require hours per week for decades for a more modest impact.

That seems unattainable for anyone at all.

Man, Alzheimer's disease sucks. We need more investment and more research into this horrible illness.

Personally I'm curious about the impact of super-early diagnosis, decades before symptoms, and interventions that maximally slow progress.

Oh I'm sure the grifters will find ways in. The other disciplines may have provided a "moat" for the past few decades, but it won't last forever.
