When you have the attention span of a fly and the constipation of a sloth
-
Depends on book, how absorbed you are, how much time you have to put aside, etc.
Everyone does everything at their own pace, don't feel threatened. That's a mug's game
I'm mostly being facetious, I love to read, but I tend to read a lot of nonfiction shit like Chomsky or Stephen Kinzer. I'm not worried that I'm dumb, I am a little shook about the idea of finishing a book in 2 hours though honestly.

Who the fuck drinks coffee for 58 minutes?
I have a double-walled cafetiere and a double-walled mug that combine to make a very pleasant slow coffee experience

Dang. They're publicly announcing that they're proud that they don't read.
We must be in a golden age for con-artists.
Easy marks are announcing themselves to the world.

Who the fuck is reading a whole book in 2 hours??? Is this normal? Am I dumb? I feel very threatened
I can knock out Fun with Dick and Jane in 30 minutes flat. So, extrapolate as you will from there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Till that “cafetière” is another word for French Press.

this actually terrifies me.
School isn't supposed to be "won" it's supposed to teach you shit you'll need later in life. Getting stuff wrong is part of the learning process. If all students do anymore is type LLM prompts they are fucking themselves up in the future. And they are fucking up other people's future as well.
But honestly I could be completely wrong - LLM prompt writers may become a big salary job and actually knowing anything will be passe and not necessary. I just don't want to live in that world.
Sincerely
Grumpy old fuck

Ime most people who report to read very fast tend to absord less information. They also seem to spend less time picking apart the details and mulling them over. For me a big part of reading isn't really reading but thinking in-between moments of reading

Imagine believing using scuffed AI output for your work is a flex.

I can read a whole coloring book in 4 hours.

The AI told them that 2 minutes + 58 minutes > 2 hours, and apparently they believed it (perhaps bc 60 really is a higher number than 2?🤪).
MANAGEMENT MATERIAL, PROMOTE THIS PERSON IMMEDIATELY!!!
Failing upwards: the true mark of genius.

Worse, they're glorifying the loss of critical thinking and analytical skill that would've been gained from reading. They aren't just becoming perfect con marks, they're loudly, and PROUDLY crippling themselves intellectually in an effort to appear "cool" today.
They're literally wagering their own intellectual future against the hope that what effectively amounts to a drugged-up version of Clippy will, against all common sense, decency, and economic theory, become so mainstream and ubiquitous that Humanity as a whole ends up relying on them for everything.
It's complete and utter madness.

Is there a non-religious version of the Amish or something? That lifestyle seems more and more appealing,. This AI stuff really isn't leading anywhere good.

"Well structured query" is what got me.
If I read up on a subject for two hours, chances are I am going to learn things that have nothing to do with the original problem.
Yes because you didn't take 2 min to think of precisely the information you need, you see! /s
This is so dumb. Of course the purpose of learning is to go beyond what you know, including what you do not know that you do not know. It's not even serendipitous, it's just learning.
Rage bait AI shill gets tiring.

Yeah, my dyslexia makes sure I read slowly, but my reading comprehension always tested perfectly. Although my ADHD can have me zoning out and reading the same word, line, paragraph, or even page, multiple times...

If I forget about it, it can take all day to finish a cup.

You: Wastes 34 minutes of OpenAI's server time and 58 minutes of everyone's time because you don't already know something because you never acrually learned it
Me: Learned the thing properly so I don't have to spend any time doing that
We are not the same
(This is so much worse if they aren't just technical books...)

There's a sex joke in there somewhere.
