Depression or ADHD?

A bit miserable this week. Got sick, and haven’t been able to sleep more than a few hours a night as a result, which is making it worse.
A misery snowball effect.
Hoping I can get a full night’s sleep soon 🤞

It’s an interesting view but it seems like the metrics themselves may be pretty error-prone with biases, and definitely cannot be used to draw conclusions.

It really depends on your use case. The plug-in ecosystem is also quite rich.

1·3 years agoYes it is nowhere near it. But the basis of the argument that today’s limitations mean tomorrow’s AI is just as limited is a clear logical fallacy.

Technology@beehaw.org•"AI" Is Not a Problem and Is a Good Thing, but Is Being Abused by the Actual Problem
3·3 years agoAI can’t replace a person yet*
Stating that AI limitations today means those limitations will exist in the future, despite the accelerated growth of AI complexity & capabilities is plain wrong.
History is full of examples just like this, from computers, to the internet, to automation…etc “Robots will never replace my job because my job is complicated”, it’s not a matter of if, but when. Would you rather be on the side of history that considered the impacts and tried to mitigate them, or the side that stuck their head in the sand?
Also, on the point of invalid logic. “AI is not the problem, it’s the abuse” is assuming AI exists in a void, which it doesn’t. The same logic: Biological weapons aren’t bad, it’s how they are used is the problem. Misinformation isn’t bad, it’s how it’s spread that’s the problem. Guns aren’t bad, it’s the people shooting them that’s the problem. …etc for everything else in the world that is a real problem because humans use and abuse it.
Current gen AI is a problem because it’s a catalyst for abuse. Not because of nature of existing AI, you are right, but that’s an argument detached from the reality of the situation.
Note: General Super Intelligence is a problem purely by it’s natural. The same goes with partial intelligence due to alignment issues which are currently paradoxical in nature. There are entire fields of study for this.
I would suggest learning how current models function. They have a lot of limitations and they are nowhere near actual AI like movies and media suggest.
Despite this you will find while learning this that the rate of advancement is such that the future dangers posed by AI are real, and must be considered. Ignorantly ignoring the writing on the wall doesn’t do us any good.
Yeah, the way I said it was too sassy.
I think I have a heavy bias because I live in a rural area, and only recently moved into town off of a farm where we had fully outside farm car. So to me it’s just normal, but in more dense urban areas the problem escalates.
I have noticed that feral cat colonies seemed more likely be the cause of problems, just out of sheer numbers, based on my time living in a city with cat issues (many years ago). But idk.

I have major issues with both. I bought the device, I should be able to repair it. It shouldn’t intentionally not work with other ecosystems that use standard protocols either. I should be able to integrate my device with standards the rest of the world uses.
Pretty much you buy apple devices, you are essentially an expensive renter renting a really strong internal ecosystem that purposefully forces you into buying more of that ecosystem and not working outside of it.
Please stop spreading misinformation in my post
Only permissable misinformation that fits your narrative, got it boss! (There’s lots of it in this thread, and some sprinkled into the OP), so it’s kinda awkward to say that now 😬
Bells reduce their effectiveness by about half, so they work.
However, I’ll admit that the way I stated that implied it was a complete solution. Which I have now edited my comment to reflect.
Being willing to be corrected and accept new information is rather important. So I’m hoping that will be reflected.
