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 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.

@Artists_Ali I think that *nobody* wants what fascist AI cultists dream! Especially not the thoughts they want us to have!

@ophis If not, we ask Musk and Bezos flying together with them to Mars very soon.

@Artists_Ali neurotypical or not quite typical or whatever, this strongly hints at two facts: 1) he doesn't know what "thought" means and 2) he doesn't know what "1000 times more" means.

@forestine @Artists_Ali mine was on linkedin, a screenshot of a mastodon snarky comment about a screenshot of a Twitter user saying how he nuked his whole home folder by letting claude do some lazy work.

50k impressions.

When I tell people to look at great stuff, I get 300 views. Once it's AI, it goes big.

And I got brain damaged people comment saying 1 word: fake.

AI is turning people into MAGA brainrot zombies.

@Artists_Ali @coral I just had a night where I struggled falling asleep because I had 1000 times too many thoughts

I would like a device that would turn off my many thoughts when I’m trying to fall asleep please. Not the opposite, and now I know how people sleep so well.

[bms@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@Artists_Ali 90-95% of what an "AI executive" says amount to nothing more than the rantings of a narcissist -- the trouble is, they won't shut up

[nafithebear@snaggletooth.life]

@Artists_Ali I want The ADHD peeps in that cloud so the Normies are overwhelmed with the base noise of the network alone.

@Artists_Ali Less thoughts, please.

[artists_ali@sunny.garden]

@irisdessine Sure!

[chuls@mastodon.world]

@Artists_Ali nightmare fuel

[alienghic@timeloop.cafe]

@Artists_Ali

I dunno if I want a 1000 corporate mandated thoughts about why I should make bezos richer by buying things on prime day.

[oddhack@mstdn.social]

@Artists_Ali not to worry. By "thoughts" they really mean "advertisements".

[burnitdown@beige.party]

@Artists_Ali

we literally already have the internet if we want to hear 1,000 more thoughts, and most of them are Not Good.

[technomagik@99finches.com]

@Artists_Ali Can we have some compassion for this (I assume) poor man who seems to have a thought deficit? Can we hook his brain to the cloud so we all might understand how limited and constraining a life without enough thoughts might be?

[assaultpepper@mstdn.ca]

@Artists_Ali Gonna have AI summarise my thoughts into one simple thought at a time.
