@ARIKAHENRY A decent selection of people with different views on a follow list so your feed isnt a one sided circle jerk.

What alterations could improve the 𝕏 platform?

@Autistic_Lauren They dont speak to the disabled person, they speak to the "normal" person with them and ask "whats wrong with them 👉🏻". Sigh....

What do you all think is the worst thing people often say to disabled people?

@forestvanslyke Can I avoid both sides? lol

Are you friends with woke people and just avoid certain topics, or do you avoid woke people completely?

@gator_gum When was this again? in history? Exactly? lol

Call me old-fashioned, but I preferred society when people weren't openly proud of their racism and bigotry. Hate is not a badge of honour.

@BillWiIdin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ADHD is just a luxury excuse for being "Lazy with a high IQ." Put the phone down and try focusing for five minutes, it's not a chemical imbalance, it's just a dopamine addiction.

@OrevaZSN Lol google things and ask god, dunno what to say about that.

Stop using AI for everything. Just Google things. Read an article. Use your dictionary. Touch grass. Open a book. Ask God. I don’t know, but stop using AI for basic questions.

@Graham_dePenros Thanks for replying so politely anyway, something surely missing from the internet today! Tbh I had the same confusion before I started working with AI a lot. I'm a programmer of decades and didn't understand much of AI output (not input) is emergent and pattern based, kinda cool

@aw_labs Thanks for the points Abstract. In about 8 hours and after I have read your comment more carefully and given it some thought, I will reply in detail. All the best, Graham.

A Pattern Is Not a Mind AI can copy the contours of our judgement, including our errors, shortcuts, and contradictions. But copying the pattern of a mind is not the same as becoming the condition from which mind arises. That is the hard question at the centre of AI. Not simply whether machines can perform intelligence. Whether computation can ever become the kind of intelligence that we are. The human mind is not a clean instrument of logic. That is not merely my view. It is one of the central lessons many readers take from Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow: human judgement is shaped by heuristics, bias, intuition, framing effects, emotional salience, and cognitive shortcuts. The point is not that human beings are simply irrational. The point is more interesting than that. Human intelligence is bounded, embodied, emotional, interpretive, socially conditioned, and often internally conflicted. So there is a serious question at the heart of AI. If human intelligence is not purely rational, how do we propose to reproduce human-like intelligence inside systems built on formal mathematics, computation, optimisation, and statistical prediction? Even modern AI, which is statistical rather than purely symbolic, remains a formal computational system. It calculates, predicts, optimises, and generates. That may produce something powerful. It may produce something useful. It may even produce something that performs better than humans across many defined tasks. But it does not automatically produce something like us. Human intelligence is not just inference. It is ambiguity, memory, embodiment, error, emotion, social pressure, instinct, habit, fear, desire, and narrative. Much of what makes us intelligent is not perfect rationality. It is our capacity to act under uncertainty despite being incomplete, biased, embodied, and internally conflicted. That is not a defect in human intelligence. It may be one of its defining conditions. This creates a fundamental tension. Computers can model irrational behaviour. They can simulate inconsistency. They can be trained on human data and learn the statistical shape of our errors. But that is not the same as possessing a human mind. A machine can reproduce the outputs of human irrationality without sharing the inner condition that produces them. That distinction matters. This is not an argument that machines can never be intelligent. It is an argument that we should be careful about the standard by which we say they have become human-like. If we define intelligence only as performance, then machines may appear increasingly human-like. If we define intelligence as the lived, embodied, self-interpreting condition from which human judgement arises, then the problem is much harder. The question is not simply whether machines can reason. The question is whether a system built from calculation can ever genuinely become the kind of intelligence whose power is inseparable from its imperfection.

@NewAgeRetroNerd That doesn't change mate. Those who are curious will still be curious. Even now. The majority of people I've met my entire life have been like that. I was using Usenet, Talkers and MUDs while they were reading course materials. So yeah not much changes, welcome to humanity!

@aw_labs Perhaps my take is more about the younger people my own age, I see a lot of them never doing the hard work or understanding things, they just prompt AI and use it to build things without learning anything, to their own detriment instead of using it as a learning tool

Ngl, why do y'all put so much trust on AI? And why do you want it to do everything for you? Are you not curious how to install and setup an OS, or write configs, or program, or anything else? AI is cool, but where is your curiosity?

@zuess05 Lol how the hell do you use AI? Must be one of these "tool users" 🤮

Computers were supposed to do the boring math so humans could do the creative thinking. Now Claude does all the creative thinking, and humans just copy-paste text between tabs all day like digital assembly line workers. At what point do we admit the AI is having a better time than we are?

@DopaminePlsMe Wait until you have to fill out what country you are from and I'm like United Kingdom, nope FFS, England? Nope omg, Great Britain? What? Nope! Oh ok United Kingdom is at the top listed twice and not in alphabetical order for just the top 2, great.

Application incomplete due to missing information With ADHD, that message can turn one missing field into a week of avoidance The form stops being a form It becomes evidence that I have already failed something small enough to be easy

@omgsidewalks Or you could DO BOTH... Controversial I know.

FUN FACT: instead of using generative AI, you could just drink a glass of water and use your fcking imagination

@mark_k @elonmusk Crazily Gemini is prob the best AI to run my Extended Cognition Stack on, give it a go and see how it changes the output, you will be surprised. labs.abstractwarlock.com/ecs-architectu…

Censorship filters are making Google AI increasingly useless. Even worse, this can become dangerous when the model twists, hides, or selectively omits facts instead of simply telling the truth. This is exactly what @elonmusk has been warning about: AI must be truth-seeking.

@icanvardar Duh. Nothing has destroyed attention more than mainstream media lol

we’re slowly losing the habit of thinking through outcomes and properly assessing things our attention span is shrinking use ai to sharpen your thinking, not outsource it read its responses, question them llms are here to make you feel smarter, not to make decisions for you

@daniel_mac8 I touch on this through introspection with Gemini Pro 3.1. It's an interesting concept of decoding LLM internals, frowned upon a bit but I feel one of the only ways in the future! labs.abstractwarlock.com/view/soapbox/m…

What if a lot of what we call “mental illness” is actually a normal response to living in unhealthy or toxic environments?

@klara_sjo Would you be willing to only ever buy what you can afford? A materialistic modern "ideal" life is not real. labs.abstractwarlock.com/view/soapbox/t…

A living wage is nice and all but what about a laughing wage and a loving wage? We deserve better.
