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.

[syphist@zoner.work]

@Artists_Ali@sunny.garden I have 3 minds in my head and they are all AuDHD. Can confirm this is a terrible idea.

[rachel@zoner.work]

@syphist @Artists_Ali@sunny.garden I mean, subjecting the rest of the internet to Chelle would be pretty funny...

@Artists_Ali

I think anyone who thinks this is a good idea should immediately fit a USB port above one of their ears.

@Artists_Ali @chirpbirb I was a “put my brain into a jar a wire me up” guy until I learned about capitalism and boy let me tell ya

[ophis@brain.worm.pink]

@itsmaya @sinvega @Artists_Ali maybe it'll actually improve them (explode lethally)

[itsmaya@social.treehouse.systems]

@ophis @sinvega @Artists_Ali that's the power of positive thinking

[anthonyjk@mastodon.redgarterclub.com]

@Artists_Ali

Yeah, right.

1,000 thoughts, and 800 of them about banging the hot blonde super-racked MILF next door.

Thanks, but my old brain can barely handle 10 thoughts; I'd rather not have my head spinning full Bettlejuice like an EF5 tornado from having to handle 1,000.

[joshmillard@mastodon.social]

@Artists_Ali @macmanx hear me out tho, what if we can pipe our current thoughts to /dev/null

[paculino@tech.lgbt]

@Artists_Ali But in this scenario, 999 will be sponsored/ads while one is simply a manipulated product.

[arclight@oldbytes.space]

@Artists_Ali My brain is too noisy as it is. Why the hell would I flood it with random mediocre thoughts averaged over a training set? If I wanted that I'd watch network television.

[mamalake@beige.party]

@Artists_Ali more time to literally put their noggins in their hands and say, “ahhhgggr, what’s that word? I can’t remember!” (Speaking from experience watching a friend in real time lose cognition)

[alys@selfy.army]

@Artists_Ali DoSing my cloud provider after a particularly bad run of intrusive thoughts.

[quinn@social.circl.lu]

@Artists_Ali as a person with CPTSD, I would also like to point out that thought content is also an issue, and connecting some brains to the cloud could really mess everyone else up.

[whynotzoidberg@topspicy.social]

@Artists_Ali "...People will..." Neurotypical argument aside the fact that AI is pushed by people like that is once again proof that the whole AI industry is run by people with no tech knowledge, no literacy skills, and who genuinely think The Torture Nexus is a great future.

[kassil@dice.camp]

@Artists_Ali For the kind of anesthetized jellyfish that runs businesses like this, 1000 times the thoughts adds up to around 1000 total over an extended period.

Like, say, a year.

[jaxvent@lgbtqia.space]

@Artists_Ali

FFS.

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

[carl@chaos.social]

@Artists_Ali This

[exec@furry.engineer]

@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

[petealexharris@mastodon.scot]

@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."
