alt Hacker NewsA friend noted that many people seem to be cosplaying their lives, and it’s hard not to see it once it’s pointed out.

Great point, this cosplay phenomenon goes far beyond LLM use.

Funny, I tend to use larping for similar analogies. Not a huge insight or anything, just crossed my mind... I guess there's also overlap, or at least some kind of similarity with cargo cults, too? :)
EDIT: Trying to stay on topic and score some po--, cargo I mean...

Most people do, some just more blatantly
After reading this comment, I feel leaning into the cosplaying will make me more productive/prolific. Many things I do not push thru on are because they seem superficial or a bit fake.
Does not apply to all ppl but maybe there should be phases to cosplay hard. Then reflect and realign.
