What exactly do you/others feel read AI about it? I spend an inordinate amount of time with AI and this did trigger my ai-radar, something I’m otherwise very sensitive too. I’m genuinely curious what phrases/words people reacted to!

I’ve read a few books about dopamine/motivation/common neurotransmitters and this has never come up. In my amateurish view I think empathy is more connected to oxytocin (which afaik does release during social connections, which The book ”The molecule of more” covers a bit).

Evolution theory by itself doesn’t give us the ability to explain everything in a certain moment, but that’s only due to lack of knowledge on our part.

Consider that measles in itself comes originally from a animal but a mutation found itself be able to spread to humans. That, in and of itself, is the process of evolution.

So while it is not necessarily a useful lens to try to interpret a moment in time as many unknown factors are at play (for example the same gene that is important for mortality might also impact survival in certain environments, and therefore how contagious it could be), if we were to understand it’s history of every mutation that came and went, the environments it lived in, evolution theory would explain why the path looked like it did. And subsequently why it is like it is today.

Ironically one reply to the blog post is.. spam

Jack Beagle @blog the ones in your screenshot are pretty good because they are a bit more conversational. I use <product> myself because generally these types of spam messages will be trying to promote something specific but outside of the second message in your example it might have still snuck through. As the LLMs get better the spam messages will certainly get better.

Please change your hero font. The extra wide style hurts reading

A visual demo beyond entering an api key would be useful. A picture says a thousand words. I did not feel inclined to read all of the readme, but when i saw people here talking about mission control I went back one more time.

Thinking about it 2 second more. Maybe unlimited puzzles but you pay to see the animations of the solutions. That would be a nice and valuable upsell if i notice i come back a lot. The Paywall feels limiting to my habit enforcement, is the overall take.

Only played paddle twice but played a lot of badminton and would like to play more paddle.

Love the concept. Feedback: more explanations for beginners. I didnt know what ”mine’s up/ your’s up” means.

When you guess wrong, also show what the right answer would mean (lines, animation and explanation) Also more than 5 puzzles per day for free tier please. For me to even begin the habit i want to spend more than 2 minues a day here. After i feel i could convert. But i’m not paying for a habit i dont yet have and might not establish. Good luck with the product!

That is true. And motivation is not a fixed variable. It is possible to get increased motivation by a better plan, resulting in increased self efficacy.

From studies like this, maybe more awareness and perhaps funding to solutions providing smaller steps

My understanding is that coaching is about helping the individual solve the problem himself/herself.

Mentoring is about adding information or skills such that the individual becomes more capable and thus are able to solve a problem.
