## Summary ## Notes ## Highlights - I mean it's just like trends - Stealing like an artist is to draw from many inspirations to make your own - I've consumed all I could for this topic, but no one is able to scratch my itch or give me what I'm looking for. I wish I had x, so I'm going to make it myself - I like these two things, I'm going to mix them together - You can do the most half-assed, non-productive thing you can think of it and it can still generate lots of metrics - Metrics are killing authenticity - People now want to imitate successful things because anyone can go viral - "I want to be me. You can't be me just like that." - Real creative impulse is entrpereneurial - Swim upstream, do one more google search to be on top of everyone else On virality vs creativity: Are you going to do the easy thing that is rewarding by copying other creators, or are you going to do the hard thing, that makes you a better and more real human being? ^byxtx8 Unfortunately it is happening at a stupidly fast scale thanks to [[AI generated self improvement videos]]
