In my experience, stimulants mean more self-control!
ADHD is a broad church, but most of us generally show reduced dopaminergic activity around the frontal lobe, which can manifest, as an example, executive dysfunction. The right stimulant medication at the proper dosage helps balance that out. My unmedicated brother can drink a latte and go to sleep immediately.
Gambling, browsing, etc feel good for the same reason, and I will never touch casinos, cocaine or street meth because I suspect that it'd ruin me.
Curious what a study on relative AI uptake by Parkinson's patients and my fellow adhd'ers looks like. The same dopaminergic systems whose underperformance drives symptoms also makes us more likely to get hooked on gambling than average.
Edit: also, AI-to-cocaine is the new cloud-to-butt

Ha, glad to hear that the Onion is making it!
Sorry about my poorly specified post! My complaint was aimed more at Jeff Bezo's bizzare idea that people who go out of their way to pay money to to a legacy media newspaper want ai slop rather than human-curated investigative journalism.
Google gives out slop for free. Why pay for it?
Do studio executives universally suffer from aphantasia or what?
Why do they think people buy newspapers in 2025? Good god

hackernews enthusiast tpacek is filled with incredulity when some friends won't join his new religious movement. This of course has triggered a 1200 reply long thread:

When I get a minute, I intend to do a back of the napkin calc to figure out how many words 100 million of these things would hear on an average day.
100 million sounds like a target that was naively pooped out by some other requirement, like "How much training data do we need to scale to GPT-5 before the money runs out, assuming the dumbest interpolation imaginable?"
Reading list in advertorial supplement contains 66% made up books with real author names.
This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.
Absolutely delusional wishcasting on the part of our very good friends.

Looks like a local boy did good.
I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.
I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.
I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.
Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.
"Let me get this straight," he said. "You're hosting a 'future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?"
John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
In a questionable new trend, supermarkets in the South now seem to be selling bullets right out of a dispenser.
