Largely, this is a personality thing. I've matured somewhat as an adult, but I am still almost entirely a creature of intrinsic motivation. I sometimes enjoy external rewards like money or recognition, but they're never fuel for the work. This is both a great blessing and a terrible curse.

I think the fact that I was a mediocre student is an aid to thinking through the challenges of AI-era education. The inducements/punishments of good/bad grades had no effect on my desire to apply myself to a subject. I wasn't disruptive or defiant, but simply inert until appropriately challenged.

Like last year’s ads for “AI” in your phone, promising outsource all your human relationships/experiences by asking it to get anniversary/birthday/Christmas presents, photoshop family into vacation pix, etc. So bizarre and so obviously made by dudes who think it’s all just annoying girly crap

the ads are so bleak heartless and isolating (“james” is an ai agent and this man is in an ai simulation. he will never find love)
