design entire system (including publishing ideas on the internet) in a way that nudges you to focus only on inputs, and not stupid shit like likes, attention and whatnot.

in other words - i want to design my own objective function (like how slava did - remember he was like idgaf abt likes, i'm just optimizing for bookmarks - that is genius). so it's time to design your own metrics for posting things online (starting with x). it is not attention, it is the relationships that you build through this (and ofc the quality of them). will need to sit and write to think this through. it's not that clear rn what exactly this would look like.

but the general point is that: ai will publish on my behalf on all the platforms i want to publish on, and will only pull my attention when key things occur after publishing (like say someone commented something interesting, or someone interesting followed me - which basically gives me a chance to DM them). my attention should be optimized for building the right relationships! and everything else must not have the opportunity to grab my attention. this is super super important.

damn, this actually opens up a sort of really powerful workflow: my ai shields me from the feeds of platforms as much as possible, and also the stupid metrics the platforms operate on. that's the thing, without this you will be playing games others have set for you. choose your own fucking game and optimize directly for that and shield yourself from games you don't want to play - this is the core desire here that we ought to explore, starting with expressing myself but this desire generalizes to everything i do!
