I just saw a video of an AI executive saying that people will connect their brains to the cloud so they can have 1,000 times more thoughts.

@Artists_Ali as someone who is probably neurotypical, and has to think all day and create solutions to problems of varying degrees of complexity and prototypicality (idk if that’s a word hmm) at work, my brain doesn’t need more thoughts. It needs less pressure to created shareholder value, so the solutions it produces are of greater quality. It needs more time off, thinking about pasta and birds and going on walks to rest and recoup.

> DoSing my cloud provider

Nah, we're in the age of serverless. DoSing your cloud provider is basically impossible. What'll actually happen when you have a particularly bad run of intrusive thoughts is the cloud service will process every single one and the service provider will happily bill you for the extra compute time you used.

[visualstuart@pdx.social]

@Artists_Ali There they go again, deliberately misrepresenting a large language model as being capable of human thought. Snake oil salesmen gonna snake oil.

[isaackuo@spacey.space]

@Artists_Ali I think it says more about how completely devoid of thoughts an AI executive is. Just an empty zombie with no ability to come up with any thoughts on their own any more.

[narrowboat_lunabetty@wandering.shop]

@Artists_Ali As far as I know I am not ADHD. There is no way I need more thoughts either. I talk to myself both out loud and in my head near enough constantly. Unless I am listening to music or meditating I have not a moments peace.

@Artists_Ali 1000 times 0 is still 0

Seconded. It’s where our chaos magic comes from.

As part of the tribe, our brain specialism is energy management. We can ramp up to high output but for the same energy it means we also have to ramp down to ‘sleep’ mode where we only appear to be cognitively functioning.

Without an actual hunt or a predator, we need stimulants to regulate or we sleep mode so much we have excess at night time.

You don’t want to invite the chaos without the perks.

[gudenau@hachyderm.io]

@Artists_Ali I want the ability to have 0 thoughts so I can sleep like a normal person.

As much as I hate ai I kinda want to see them do this

Make them taste the entire fucking rainbow

Having literally 14 concurrent trains of thought ain't all bad. Used to be really useful in my IRC days. Also useful when typing up a document and someone wants to chat right freaking now.

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Artists_Ali You certainly don't want thoughts given to you by the right wing Nazi arseholes who own & operate AI platforms

[hexaitos@social.jnpw.net]

@Artists_Ali There's three other creatures in my head already, we have enough thoughts, thank you very much

[enalys@mastodon.zergy.net]

@Artists_Ali
It will be like frying your brain.

[variaxocellus@mastorol.es]

@Artists_Ali Oh yes pour shitposts directly to my neurons three orders of magnitude faster than they operate normally. I don't see how that could cause any downsides whatsoever!

[lydiaschoch@mastodon.social]

@reiddragon @Artists_Ali I concur with this explanation.

[lydiaschoch@mastodon.social]

@Artists_Ali @AngelaPreston we should send all of our excessive thoughts to that executive. They can handle my anxiety for a few years.

[dziadekmick@mstdn.social]

@Artists_Ali

So, he thinks that thoughts can be created outside the brain. They can't. AI doesn't think, it calculates and it produces data. More bullshit from the fantasists trying to make us buy more AI.

[baloouriza@social.tulsa.ok.us]

@Artists_Ali I'm not ADHD and I have 2 or 3 thoughts at a time... It's really annoying.
