Depends on the platform and what "viral" means.

Where do you want to go viral and what does it mean to you?

Have you read this? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8049618/ Seems to me that AI companies are attacking the wrong things.

Agreed. If I remember correctly from the other sections of this post, I think it's a self-directed ban.

To continue this discussion and to tie it into the original link, worth looking at this YouTube Video where "Jon Pike interviews Quentin Skinner about Thomas Hobbes' masterpiece Leviathan"...

Ah okay! Makes sense. I’ve never ordered them as I wasn’t sure how a soup gets delivered so it makes sense.

Maybe one day you can write a book like Ivan Orkin did with Ramen :)

Have you done a Phở-off?

I've done a similar thing with Pizza places around me and discovered that my tastes were different when I ordered the same type of pizza pie and had them all at the same time, compared to what I preferred in the restaurant.

Might be worth a try

100% agree! Teaching others to teach helps broaden their perspective/ world as well. Everyone wins

Good points.

Maybe something like making two person teams of a non-talker and talker?

Non-talker is getting trained to be a talker while the talker is doing the recruiting?

Non-talker holds sign / hands out writing implement. Talker talks.

Everyone slowly moves up the chain?

Helping people like you are seems like an amazing start. Maybe try to get a pyramid structure going where you teach people to help other people and then they teach people and then it’s a movement? But at all times a low level of effort so there is no pressure other than just holding up a sign or a marker.

I’ve found the hardest thing is breaking the ice and the sign / marker normalises a low stakes interaction where one participant can walk away at any time

Really enjoying reading you blog posts. Currently taking notes into my own Obsidian instance based on your post “Obsidian vault setup tour”

Thanks for sharing

I clicked, thinking it would show me funny Claude responses to prompts. That would definitely make it more engaging. Something like Regretsy.

"In our study (Vaci et al., 2019), we tracked ninety chess players of differing skill levels for almost 20 years. They were of different ages, which allowed us to investigate not only the beginnings and peaks of chess skill, but also the later stages of the chess career."

Thanks for the response. Lots of rabbit holes for my kids and I to explore. First up for this weekend is this -> "Cosmonauts: How Russia Won the Space Race" found here https://ihavenotv.com/cosmonauts-how-russia-won-the-space-ra....

> Whatever one thinks of the Soviet political system, they did have some great achievements.

So true. Kids and I are slowly working through the Gelfand correspondence course (math) and it's amazing.
