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.

@forestine No surprise it would be unpopular here

[zaphodb@twitter.resolvt.net]

@Artists_Ali I especially do not want 1000 more thoughts at AI API latencies. Its annoying enough to watch via CLI already, actually having to wait for your thoughts to come back sounds absolutely terrifying to me.

@Artists_Ali Anything involving ADHD will get massive boost, too, lol

[me@social.jlamothe.net]

@isaackuo @Artists_Ali 1000 × 0 is still 0

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@Artists_Ali AI executives do not understand thinking more =/= thinking better. …that kinda sums up the craze, actually

[thomasjwebb@mastodon.social]

@Artists_Ali indeed I wish I could donate my extra thoughts to thoughtless people

[miawinter@mastoart.social]

@Artists_Ali as an adhd

Yes, you really really don't

[kc@social.coop]

@Artists_Ali no no, let them have the intrusive thoughts of that embarrassing thing they did at age 8 and the sudden interest on landmark bridges in Uzbekistan at 3h in the morning

@Artists_Ali If computers started learning from the inside of my head, they’d craft an elaborate emergency stop button before smacking it as hard as it could.

@JoscelynTransient @Artists_Ali

Same with alcohol. I’ve also been fired and reprimanded for sharing my thoughts on how I think leadership is inept and not interested in fixing issues or doing good work.

These narcissists would flip their shit if everyone came to them with 1000x more thoughts about how things should be done, which is why I think we should do it (minus the brain implant).

@Artists_Ali you went fungal!

[cyborus@social.cartoon-aa.xyz]

@hsza@social.tudbut.de @Artists_Ali@sunny.garden ... yeah that's. exactly the problem yeah

[cyborus@social.cartoon-aa.xyz]

@hsza@social.tudbut.de @Artists_Ali@sunny.garden oh lmao that post is three months old

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@Cyborus @Artists_Ali still relevant

[cyborus@social.cartoon-aa.xyz]

@hsza@social.tudbut.de @Artists_Ali@sunny.garden

[zarkonnen@mastodon.social]

@Artists_Ali This is like the "we only use x% of our brain" nonsense. Do you want a seizure?

[annehargreaves@ioc.exchange]

@Artists_Ali ffs

[irisdessine@piaille.fr]

@Artists_Ali can I share and translate in french, please? Because I find this very accurate

[tompearce49@mastodon.scot]

@Artists_Ali
Plenty of unwanted thoughts here. If anyone's short of a thought or two, happy to donate the surplus!

[robotistry@fediscience.org]

@Artists_Ali Technically neurotypical here. What kind of thoughts?

I have spent years trying to capture and document the implications of just one idea. Trying to translate that idea into a form other people can understand, Kuhn was right that the core challenge of a major insight is communicating it.

I have reams of hard copy scrolls of art paper because the diagrams and connections I was seeing needed long, complicated diagrams.

I once printed out 14 linear feet of flow charts so I could attach them to a wall of white boards and draw on them, because I couldn't hold the whole thing in my mind at once and I needed to take advantage of the way our brains can use the physical world as backup RAM.

I mean, if your thoughts are on the order of "What should I have for dinner?" then maybe 20 thoughts might be manageable.

But if you're trying to handle the deep intensive thoughts that create the big endorphin rush of problem solving and insight?

You won't get those endorphins by managing and prioritizing 1000 thoughts.

I'm beginning to think these people have an addiction problem. They don't seem to be able to grasp that sometimes more isn't better.
