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.

[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.

[quinn@social.circl.lu]

@stefanie @Artists_Ali oh yeah. I have EDS too.

[drgroftehauge@sigmoid.social]

@mysturji @Artists_Ali Wasn't Lucy also dying from cooking her brain from the inside out? I don't remember or really care.

[stefanie@social.anoxinon.de]

@quinn @Artists_Ali I do know CPTSD and I know I have it, but not officially diagnosed, thank god.
And I get depressive episodes, pretty severe ones sometimes.
EDS is the thing with the hyper mobile joints?

[momo@social.linux.pizza]

@Artists_Ali
Absolutely! AuDHD here. You don't want this, it will harm you. It harms us every day and you can't see that: That is our day to day life from the day we were born to the day we die.

You do not want that for you!

[momo@social.linux.pizza]

@Artists_Ali
Wanna hear an example? My best friend committed suicide and when I learned about it my brain went into overdrive. When was the point in the process where death was the unavoidable result of his action. How long was he alive after that (7.8 seconds in his case). How does it feel to hit the ground and die? How does it feel to change your mind but can't change the result for the last 7.8 seconds of your life?

This though spiral comes automatically. It's one of the 1000 thoughs in my head. I have to actively suppress them for 12 years now. If not, I will fall into despair and another depression.

When I say you do not want this, I mean stuff like this. Because you have no direct control over this.

@Artists_Ali Zach Weinersmith tried to warn people, but they're gonna build the Torment Nexus regardless…
