  • I didn’t get (informed about) my diagnosis until I was an adult and figured it out myself.

    The medication is life changing, and while I still enjoy nicotine (vaped now tho) and caffine (matcha now instead of coffee), I am no longer dependent on them.

    The THC hasn’t gone anywhere, but that serves additional purposes.

    I guess that’s all to say, it’s not too late to get a diagnosis, and if you feel like your ADHD is negatively impacting your life, you might want to consider doing so. It’s literally the most effectively treatable mental issue there is, they figured it out.

    Edit: I also find that occasional psilocybin trips (at somewhat regular intervals) are helpful to declutter my mind and improve my mood. I call it “defragmenting my disk”, because I’m old like that… also 1337











  • Perhaps if you’re building upon 15 years of knowledge and have good judgement about what to believe they could potentially be decent for self-learning, but i don’t see how that would be any easier than just doing self-teaching the old fashioned way.

    If someone is starting with 0 years of knowledge, I seriously doubt an LLM would be beneficial in any way.

    There are studies about the phenomenon of people not learning as much when acquiring the information becomes too frictionless (i.e. “what’s the point of knowing something when I could just ask the computer”).

    I am adept at self-learning, and I would never utilize such a tool in my studies. I also don’t see any need to augment my self-teaching process, as it is already extremely easy, and I am already good at it; I don’t need assistance from software that is incapable of thought (critical or otherwise), and doesn’t “know” anything.
