Story

Manna 003


A young man named Elijah recently pointed out you're in a double bind. We've created a super reasoning engine, a word calculator, and told you it's going to solve the world's problems, and told you it's too dangerous, you can't use it, it's the anti-Christ, it's going to rot your brain, and it's cheating. Well, I used a slide rule in nuclear power school and called it "neh, close enough for bombs." You can use it for self-gaming. You see, you have an advantage in that you can use this superpower of storytelling to transform your future. You don't have to be worried AI is going to take your job. No. Learn to self-game. Transform your own thinking by finding your own blind spots. That would be Scotomaville.

Title: AI Won't Take Your Job. Your Blind Spots Will.

Description: They told you AI is a superpower that'll solve the world's problems. Then told you it's dangerous, it'll rot your brain, and using it is cheating. You don't have to pick a side in that fight — you have to see past it.

You've got something AI doesn't: your own story, and the ability to turn it into leverage. Use AI to find your blind spots, not to do your thinking for you. That's self-gaming. That's Scotomaville.
