Our brains can “flicker” off for a split second during a boring task caused by sleep-like brain activity occurring while we are awake. Adults with ADHD experience them much more frequently, and may be behind inconsistent attention, slower reaction times, and chronic sleepiness associated with ADHD.
r/science focuses on adhd and inconsistent, with context pulled from source reporting instead of recycled feed copy. Cross-checked against r/artificial and Nature.

Cross-source context: r/artificial highlights noticed the AI drops balls the same way I do: forgets instructions from earlier in the conversation, rushes to output, skips boring steps. Research confirms it: - "Lost in the Middle" (Stanford 2023): 30%+ performance drop for mid-context instructions - 65%... Nature highlights scientists revive activity in frozen mouse brains for the first time
What to watch next: movement around adhd, inconsistent.

LLMs forget instructions the same way ADHD brains do. I built scaffolding for both. Research + open source.
