Are the lessons you have distilled applicable to other institutions in society which decline due to corruption? How is corruption different from your concept of financial gravity?

What I think is surprising about this article is that I would expect the top HN comment to call out that it's an advertorial for the Turkish hair replacement industry. It's like something you'd usually find on the Yahoo News page - the only reason it seems to have survived on the front page of HN is because it's in Wired and it's got the word hack used inappropriately in both title and body. If I can't rely on HN to sniff out the paid BS, what do I have to do, figure it out myself?

I just had more fun here than doing anything online for years. Thank you.

I believe your words should be your own. I refuse to let ai strip my words of their idiosyncrasy. I refuse to put my words into a machine that robs them of their humanity. They are mine, they are me. Working with a human editor is an act of love and creation. Working with an AI editor is an act of mediocrity and sacrificed originality.

The cynic in me questions whether this is a PR response to Glasswing.

I did something in a similar space and I'm a complete noncoder: www.sgpedge.com

Probably about ten hours, all in.

I guess really the only reason it's interesting is that I don't know how to code and did this with a coding assistant. Would love feedback on it!

Funny, I use this myself, particularly in HN. I think there is a corollary though, which goes something like "Headlines which ask a question are more likely to attract attention when the subject is of interest to the reader." or "Headlines which leave an unclosed loop cause an impulse to find the solution."

Yeah, I think what I have in mind is more along the lines of creating a defined goal that people need to achieve in a limited amount of time. Think carrying a sandbag for 20 miles by handing it off between the participants. E.g. pushing themselves physically or mentally, with some time constraints, and helping each other in the process.

Posting this question in a slightly different way than I did before. My theory is that it is possible to deliberately structure an experience within 48 hours or so to create a lifelong bond on a team of 4-5 people. I'm trying to figure out what the elements of that experience would be so I'm using a handy AI tool to help me do the research.
