my earnest thought about this is a really rough analogy to GPU vs CPU:
→ CPU/texting: lots of memory access, lots of context, relatively slow compute time, low concurrency.
→ GPU/Tweeting: no context required, no memory access, high output of low-value computation. vivianphung/1366899933882777611
if you want me to text you back with the same level of emotional depth and cognitive effort that I Tweet with, so be it
though honestly it's bizarre when people oversimplify attention and the modality of communication in this way lol
