True, but not fast. More fun than fast. Fast reading does not just enumerate examples. Fast reading does not straw-man. Fun conveys opportunity and emotion: "changing behavior", "signals simplicity", "fun". Fun creates an experience, a mode, and stickiness. It's good for marketing, but a drag on operations. Fast is principles with methods that just work. "Got it." Fast has a time-to-value of now. Fast is transformative when it changes a background process requiring all the infrastructure of tracking contingencies to something that can just be done. It changes system-2 labor into system-1 activity -- like text reply vs email folders, authority vs discussion, or take-out vs. cooking. When writers figure out how to monetize fast - how to get recurrent paying users (with out-of-band payment) just from delivering value - then we'll no longer be dragged through anecdotes and hand-waving and all the salience-stretching manipulations that tax our attention. Imagine an AI paid by time to absorb and accept the answer instead of by the token. Fast is better than fun -- assuming it's all good, of course :) |
