I quit every vice: Stopped playing videogames in my 20s because they were a time sink, stopped drinking in my 50s, stopped drinking coffee because I no longer needed a 'wake me up' when I embraced sobriety.

But when I first started tinkering with AI, I found it so addictive, it reminded me of how I used to play videogames in my 20s obsessively. I think it's the randomness of the rewards that makes AI possibly addictive. It sometimes felt like a slot machine, the way that tweaking a setting or two would get me closer to the goal.
