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.

@itsmaya They can absolutely have at it lmao

@itsmaya @Artists_Ali the ineffectual force meets a nonexistent object

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@Artists_Ali just try 1000 times more thoughts

you certainly will not regret 1000 times more thoughts

[wanderingindigitalworlds@sunny.garden]

@Artists_Ali They really do be saying the incomprehensible stupid and wild things to try to remain relevant.

I agree, they don't want that many thoughts per second, hour, or whatever metric the AI Chud was peddling.

I have to take medication to sleep because my brain is too active at night. During the day, I'm prone to daydreaming because of it (there's also the anxiety ).

These chuds need to wake the fuck up.

[artists_ali@sunny.garden]

@JoscelynTransient That's why I take weed! Gotta reduce the thoughts down to something manageable.

Sorry you got shafted at work.
I hope someone appreciates you properly soon.

@Artists_Ali I took two seconds to imagine someone with anxiety and/or depression having this and, holy shit no, this would kill people

[itsmaya@social.treehouse.systems]

@sinvega @Artists_Ali I expect it to do SOMETHING, just not what they want it to.

@Artists_Ali

I am urging AI Executives everywhere to attempt to have one thought that is not about money. Maybe try having a Creative Thought?

[deepmud@mas.to]

@Artists_Ali a thousand times, yes! An overactive mind is a fucking curse.

Trying to go to sleep is quite the job! ️

[shdwdrgn@tech.lgbt]

@Artists_Ali Sorry to say, but I would absolutely do this! Judging by the comments here, I'm one of the lucky ones who found a balance with intrusive thoughts and makes use of the noise in my head for everyday life. Yeah ok I have a million unfinished projects lying around, but man, if I could use that computing power when I'm hyper-focused on a subject..!

@Artists_Ali

Nobody wants to smoke whatever that AI executive is on, when s/he claimed that AI will help people connect their brains to the cloud and increase their thoughts a thousand-fold. The guy needs to be in a padded cell, not running a business.

Since this AI executive seems addicted to science fiction, I suggest he rewatch what happens to Cate Blanchett's character at the end of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

@Artists_Ali@sunny.garden I saw "connect their brains to the cloud" and thought of Microsoft introducing opt-out OneDrive sync for your brain

[piglet@mastodon.scot]

@Artists_Ali AI execs want everyone to connect the brain to the cloud so they can future monetize the 4 low level thoughts neurotypicals like me actually have in a day. The "we own everything and you only rent it" agenda for the human mind.

[mysturji@mastodonapp.uk]

@Artists_Ali
They think it’ll turn them into “Lucy”, but it’ll be more like “The Terminal Man”.

[mysturji@mastodonapp.uk]

@itsmaya @Artists_Ali
Are you sure? They have money. Lots.

[crystal_fish_caves@mstdn.party]

@Artists_Ali not only do I NOT want 1,000 more thoughts, they can have the ones I have now. Take my thoughts.
Please.

[mysturji@mastodonapp.uk]

@Artists_Ali @JoscelynTransient
Weed seems to increase my thoughts, but they tend to be funny ones, so that’s OK.

[epic_null@infosec.exchange]

[itsmaya@social.treehouse.systems]

@mysturji @Artists_Ali I think you might have missed the implication that plugging your brain into experimental brain altering equipment is very likely to be somewhere between debilitaing and fatal.
That's what I call a win.
