New substack dropped:
When working with coding assistants I sometimes had the feeling that the proposals made by the coding assistant lead to a collapse of the solution space.
Now I know there is a name for it: Design fixation.
TL;DR: LLM based creativity enhancements are problematic.

Oh man, another one for the list. As if the bookshelf is not already close to collapsing.

Likewise during multitasking where PFC [pre frontal cortex] neurons simultaneously participate in multiple activates circuits.
Importantly, increase cognitive load on the frontal cortex, and afterwards subjects become less prosocial - less charitable or helpful, more likely to lie."
Robert Sapolsky, „Behave“, p49 ff.
Just stumbled over this in R. Sapolsky's "Behave".
tl; dr: Managing cognitive load is important!
