The AI Vampire

The narrative makes sense. Feeling mentally drained after periods of intense focus is a human experience.

Here’s the thing. I haven’t experienced it. A full day building curiosities with Claude does not leave me feeling drained. I have an irrational excitement for shipping ambition. I’m excited to get back to the prompt and see what is possible.

A vampiric lull is the way I feel after a day full of meetings and social interaction. The intense focus of listening and responding produces great results in the form of relational connection. Draining all the same.

I wonder if there’s a correlation to introversion and extroversion. Are introverts fueled by the accelerated exploration of LLMs, while extroverts are drained by the thinking that’s not out loud and void of traditional relational connection?

I just said “traditional relational connection” without skipping a beat. What a weird time to be embodied.

“The word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Even Jesus Christ finds his origins in the word. The tokens are becoming flesh and dwelling among us as folks shape their belief in response to their own prompts meeting the curated collective writings of civilization.

Its words all the way down.
