Click bait title :/ I thought it's a machine learning article
kevinmgranger•41m ago
What about the title implied that?
blinkymach12•39m ago
"Attention is all you need" is a famous ML paper. Though given the content of the article I don't think the author was intentionally referencing that.
fragmede•33m ago
We could call doing such a thing, referencing a seminal work with a similar title that's so close that you couldn't to it that have missed it, yet somehow you did, as an AliceGG's Mistake.

How could you write 600 words on the topic and not mention the paper otherwise?

arrowleaf•9m ago
Why would AliceGG need to reference the paper? Anyone who is vaguely aware of the LLM architecture knows about the paper title and it being a huge advancement in machine learning. This is an article about recommendation algorithms hijacking our attention and LLMs ruining the internet... it's pretty clear the article title is a nod to the paper?
sublinear•9m ago
Given the tone of the blog otherwise, I think it was intended to both grab attention and subtly imply that AI is irrelevant with feigned ignorance.
econ•34m ago
That is exactly what the article is about.
Contortion•28m ago
On the other hand, the article was exactly what I expected from the title.

"There’s one lesson the Tetris effect teaches us: whatever you focus on long enough will end up shaping your thoughts."

Yes. But--change your thoughts, change your life: https://thinkhuman.com/change-your-thoughts-change-your-life...

arrowleaf•4m ago
Why the 'but'? The article is about becoming intentional in your thoughts and not letting them be hijacked by algorithms.
alansaber•15m ago
This is why I like books. No attempt at attention hijacking. Wheras every other modern app tries to claw your eyes out.
robertclaus•5m ago
Our book club has actually noted that more and more mainstream books are written for low attention span. Repeating details ad nauseum and simplifying the plot significantly. So I don't think books are immune to this automatically.

> The internet wasn’t always like that. Before recommendation algorithms where a thing, you had to decide what you would be doing on the computer.

> You didn’t really have one big app that you could open and order it to entertain you. Instead, you had a few dozen of bookmarks to websites, each with a specific idea in mind.

This overlooks how common custom homepages such as Lycos, Yahoo! and My MSN were and how the browsers pushed these as their default home pages.

While they are not as addictive as the "algorithms" today, they were still packed with clickbait images/links to attract your attention and ads to drain your wallet.

I think this needs a strategic change. Unless you have a clear cut life objective and you are really into it, everything else you try to improve are at most tactical wins that will be lost to time. And those small wins actually make the end frustration worse because you thought you won strategically this time.

I’ll also going to declare that doom scrolling-ish working on non-impactful personal projects is as BAD as doom scrolling twitter.

On the social science side, The Ecology of Attention[1] talks about attention as an ecosystem and the final economic frontier for capitalism. It envisions a world where every moment of our attention is fought over by commercial entities, which feels pretty prescient at the moment.
