A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).

This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.

RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

bungie make the best looking, best playing console shooters on the market and none of the competition has really come close in over 2 decades. yet every decision management has ever made has been as if they were time travellers sent back from the future to somehow force them into failure

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

This says a whole lot about AI....
Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it.

Talk to the less techy people in your life about LLMs and image/video generation and why marketing is calling it AI. They have bought into the BS fully and need education on what it can do, what it cant, and how much it has to steal to do it. Help them. Our media wont.

I wonder if this is an attempt to divert blame away from OpenAI for all those suicides...

I've been grading since 10AM and I'm so burnt out from all the AI stuff...

Someone tell me something good to help boost me up. What cool thing did you do today? Read a good book lately? Make any good art and/or writing? What did you CREATE?

Share!!

A workforce trained to normalize generative AI is a workforce that *will not be able to understand* people talking about creativity and pride in gaining skills and the value of their labor. It'll be alien to them.

There's a part of learning, which generative AI completely turns into dogshit, which is *doing something you could not have done before*

Whether it's drawing, playing an instrument, solving a physics problem, organizing an essay, you find yourself doing easily what previously you found overwhelming

A chatgpt user will *never* experience the experience of finding the task of researching and organizing an essay or program or story, shockingly easier than it used to be.

A genAI user will *never* find an artistic task effortless that was once enormously frustrating.

One of the purposes of this is, obviously, to completely alienate people from their intellectual and creative labor. When "write an article" becomes "push the big red GIMME SLOP button" you're gonna have less pride and investment in the outcome.

Every single actual creative person has experienced the experience of finding effortless what was once effortful.

A generative AI user is completely alienated from this experience, it's alien and unfamiliar to feel pride in the outcome. Or, even to actually give a fuck about it at all.

I'm having to argue with a student to get them to read their notes before trying to do their assignment and they just don't want to do it. I wish I could work a job that uses my degree and experience instead of trying to get AI using kids to do work.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
