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

I dunno if I want a 1000 corporate mandated thoughts about why I should make bezos richer by buying things on prime day.

[oddhack@mstdn.social]

@Artists_Ali not to worry. By "thoughts" they really mean "advertisements".

[burnitdown@beige.party]

@Artists_Ali

we literally already have the internet if we want to hear 1,000 more thoughts, and most of them are Not Good.

[technomagik@99finches.com]

@Artists_Ali Can we have some compassion for this (I assume) poor man who seems to have a thought deficit? Can we hook his brain to the cloud so we all might understand how limited and constraining a life without enough thoughts might be?

[assaultpepper@mstdn.ca]

@Artists_Ali Gonna have AI summarise my thoughts into one simple thought at a time.

[kyresti@plush.city]

@Artists_Ali Saying this as the critter with OCD.

"I could demonstrate what happens when someone fucks up your weights and training data, but that would literally violate the Geneva Conventions".

Dead fucking serious, btw, you do NOT want to know what happens if a bad (or even merely sloppy) actor can directly upload thoughts into your mind.

It's like these fuckers are completely incapable of thinking through repercussions and "Hey maybe this is a bad idea actually?"

[dandels@infosec.exchange]

@Artists_Ali I can't help but think that whoever said this doesn't have many good thoughts of their own.

[tshirtman@mas.to]

@Artists_Ali well, on the other hand, we don't know for sure their baseline, the evidence is sometimes scarce.

@Artists_Ali it's like they've never read a single piece of sci-fi. They think they're going to be able to choose their thoughts, and not some billionaire's algorithm. Ads beamed directly into their brains, pay to opt out. Have your own thoughts scanned and then sued by the appropriate stakeholder for being unable to have an original one.

[davide_sandini@mastodon.uno]

@Artists_Ali
For a AI executive, having 1000 times more thoughts is however less than an average human...

[yakmacker@society.kalli.st]

@Artists_Ali b-but, the number, it will go up...

[einspossum@chaos.social]

@Artists_Ali infinite distracting thoughts!

[fa@todon.nl]

@Artists_Ali AI + ADHD. Not that surprising tbf

[fa@todon.nl]

@http_error_418 @Artists_Ali hahaa

[fa@todon.nl]

@http_error_418 @Artists_Ali add in a little bit of ocd and chronic pain and trauma and... and welcome to my life. Also im so distracted that i keep forgetting stuff, including how cute a bumblebee is. So there's that.

[rythur@mastodon.social]

@Artists_Ali

Then they can target everyone as neurodivergent...

[ruenahcmohr@infosec.exchange]

@Artists_Ali then the company goes under and you become a vegetable, and not a good one.

[arclight@oldbytes.space]

@dogfox @Artists_Ali I'm sorry/you're welcome

@Iwillyeah @Artists_Ali Black Mirror's "Common People" is not an instruction manual for this.
