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 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.

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

@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.

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

@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.

@Artists_Ali i have plenty of spare thoughts lying around to donate to the neurotypical folks if they want to try the ADHD Experience

@Artists_Ali it's like the whole "we only use 10% of our brain, we should unlock using 100% of it" crap that used to circulate. using 100% of your brain is called a seizure.

[spiegelmama@infosec.exchange]

@Shdwdrgn I'm jealous. I'd have saved so much money on booze if I'd had this detente.
@Artists_Ali

[spiegelmama@infosec.exchange]

@JoscelynTransient Big same, Joscelyn. And yet it never worked, not really. For some reason, LSD often did.

@Artists_Ali quality > quantity

[itsmaya@social.treehouse.systems]

@Artists_Ali yea sounds good. If you have a point you're going to need to spell it out because to me that sounds like a big net win.
