The Baader–Meinhof phenomenon is real. At some point I noticed #chatGPT uses the sentence structure “X isn’t just Y, it’s Z” when it wants to emphasize a thing & since then I keep seeing this sentence structure everywhere. Just watched a random YT vid & it was riddled with pic related

Fifteen years in IT, but I always wanted to be a #musicproducer
What can be accomplished in fifteen years?
A lot. But also, not enough.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,

Kahneman won the Nobel in '02 for showing that we often don't make optimal or rational decisions. No surprise, then, that the prices of assets can rise far above their true, sustainable value. From tulips, the Roaring Twenties, the Housing Bubble, this has been happening for centuries #AI #bubble
