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.
Neurotypical people. Please listen to me. I promise you, with all the ADHD in my body-
You really do not want 1,000 more thoughts.
You may think you do, but you extremely do not.
You must log in or # to comment.
I know this isn’t true for the same reason anyone who’s demanded my “undivided attention” and been unlucky enough for me to oblige knows.
Bro they put me on stimulants so I can have LESS thoughts do not let the computer in.
If it’s so good, why don’t they get those implants for themselves?
Not the cloud, but I wouldn’t being able to connect my brain to my computer just locally.
Being able to think at a computer and have it do things seems really nice, as someone whose brain is often faster than their ability to type well.
For things like transcribing notes for uni, or just having a notepad so I can remember things I don’t have the memory capacity to hold would be great.
Autistic+ADHD+DID here to tell you that no… No you do NOT want 1000+ thoughts all at once, it’s literally the worst idea imaginable why would you want that???!!?!!!?!?!!!
Relavent comic.
Shhhh. Let them cook their normie brains.
A thousand more is just a 1% boost.
Lame.
It appears to say a thousand times more.
Which - holy shit - how did we not clock that massive self-report? They have so few thoughts that this strikes them as a desirable and possible increase.
1000 times more thoughts seems less like ADHD and more like a seizure.
They’re not all at once. It’s like a thought streaming service piped to your brain that is near impossible to shut off or focus well.
That just sounds like a smartphone but closer up
I’m sure it feels like a lot, but ADHD is almost certainly not 1000x as much as a normal person experiences.
Never even mind the quantity issue. The idea of plugging thoughts from “the cloud” into my head is horrifying. You really want to be free-basing the shit on the internet that already makes you feel dumber just by reading / watching it?
I’ve tried explaining to normies how ‘living in the moment’ is actually awful and is basically like being a goldfish… the never get it.
Are you sure you want to keep them from selfdestructing?
Remember the show Pantheon?
Have someone make a fake ‘scanning’ machine and tell all these guys we’ll give them digital immortality. “Scan” then, and then have their digital selves go on with their lives.But those “digital” selves are actually people who are impersonating them and redirecting their wealth for the good of the world, claiming that their new perspective of immortality has completely changed their mindsets.
Under no circumstances do you want the inability to shut your brain off. Trust me, as an autistic person. It’s a terrible double edged sword that is not worth it a fair bit of the time.
I feel this with every fiber of my being.
I’m not diagnosed with anything, but I can safely say I want less shit in my head, not more.
