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.

FFS.

The kid playing this simulation is just bored now and chucking every bad idea from bad sci-fi movies at us. Little shit.

@Artists_Ali This is basically the plot of a certain RPG on a handheld console from 20 years ago

[frawst@fedi.fraw.st]

@Artists_Ali@sunny.garden i cant even tell what hes trying to say when he says this

why would i want to have 1000 times more thoughts? does he mean my brain will run 1000 times faster? will my normal thoughts just get amplified 1000 times? also most breakthroughs come from taking breaks from thinking so you can recollect everything, more thoughts wont even necessarily help, and also do they expect me to directly hook my brain up to someone else's computer with known connections to extremely powerful people with agendas?

executives really do just go up and say the dumbest shit, huh

@frawst @Artists_Ali
This comes from people who have like 10 thoughts, tops. They claim to be worth all their millions for their special cleverest boy thoughts, but it always turns out to be "what if we didn't have to pay people?", Eugenics Again, or "public transport but worse."

@quinn @Artists_Ali honestly, sometimes I wish I could project the content of my mind into someone else's, just to see the horror in their face when they realize what "normal" feels for me.

[david_chisnall@infosec.exchange]

@Artists_Ali But putting all of my stupid thoughts in the cloud and keeping the sensible ones in my head would be a big win!

[dzwiedziu@mastodon.social]

@petealexharris
Don't forget “profit, profit, profit” and “me me me” which take up a lot of that space \s

[jeremy_list@hachyderm.io]

@Artists_Ali If I were to stick a computer in my brain it would be to serve as an outlet for more of the thoughts I already have. That and an interface to OpenStreetMap. (I wouldn't actually trust any entity existing under capitalism to make a computer I'd put in my head)

[mcr314@todon.nl]

@Artists_Ali wait. Since Palms are not generic AI, can ND types just get paid to impersonate these "clouds"?

@david_chisnall

Ooh yes bottom up trickling to mess with their pool.

@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.

@alys @Artists_Ali

> 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.

[wizbean@tech.lgbt]

@Artists_Ali 1000 times 0 is still 0

@Artists_Ali @YellowReadis
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.
