I was just thinking about this. I was reading those tweets about the SV party were people were going home early to “check on their agents” or the “token anxiety” people are having over whether they are optimizing their agent usage. This is all giving me addiction vibes. Especially at the end of the day it seems like there is not much to show for it.


Maybe they just wanted to leave early, and everyone's now required to maintain the AI hype-up so that's a nice excuse. Surely they'd be able to ssh in on their phone for a couple minutes if needed?


Addiction for the mere purpose of satisfying a compulsion, rather than to achieve a reward or physical "high."
