Not in any way, no. Our brains can't predict what we will be interested in or good at.

But we do have predispositions. If you are able to focus intently on things, or are creative, or are more athletic, which are reflected in neuronal connectivity, you might be more interested in more detail-oriented or creative or athletic hobbies.

Speaking of water... How often do you actually see a drop of water shaped like a drop? Almost never

I went looking for old forums I used to frequent, and while the site itself is on the internet archive most of the conversations are lost. Only one or two snapshots a year

I wish I was a better piano player

I'm a competent musician in many instruments but I could never get the hang of using my left hand for accompaniment

Predictive text also can vectorize words, but the number of vectors per word are much, much simpler.

Likely a lot of changes will just be expanding the end game. Start playing now!

 

I would love to be able to set the post type background of images or videos yo a different color than links. I often accidentally open a YouTube video I don't want to open because I think it's actually an image or a link.
