I wouldn’t say that I stop thinking, but I can act out thoughts, pay attention to things or have new experiences without internally processing them verbally, although it does help with more complex issues.

If I’m having a shower, I just put soap on a flannel, I don’t internally verbalise “put some soap on the flannel, I’m putting soap on a flannel now”.

Some people can’t turn off their inner monologue?

To me it’s as easy as it is to stop talking. I feel like I’m misunderstanding you.

I haven’t watched the video, but I’m guessing it’s about college football.

If you say so

It was literally in the reddiquette that you’re not supposed to use them like that, but in practice, you’re absolutely right and that’s how they’re used.

Yes I noticed, sorry, bad internet connection, I have deleted them now.

Practically yes, despite the way that they ought to be used.

It’s such a shame. Lemmy should be a place where we can collectively share ideas and debate openly. Comments and posts should only ever be downvoted if they’re off topic, hateful or misleading. However, in reality people get downvoted mostly because someone simply doesn’t like or wholly agree with them.

It’s still better here than reddits awful circlejerks and echo chambers, but not by much and we should be wary of devolving to a state where people are disincentivized to post because they have an idea or opinion that may only be slightly off kilter to the hive mind.

The mob is fickle, brother.

The hive mind has concluded AI=bad and any comment that doesn’t go along with the consensus is going to get downvotes.

It’s really not that different from the beginning of the industrial revolution, when cotton mills first started to implement the spinning jenny, leaving many workers out of a job who’d go in to the factories at night to smash the machines up.

No one wants to go back to spinning cotton all day now though and it will be the same with jobs taken by AI.

Well your comment sounded like you were implying that regulations are needed that currently aren’t there.

Right. We survived the ice age with stone age tech.

Not saying that this makes any of this OK but resilience is absolutely one of humanities highest spec traits.

Imagine getting downvoted because it was fine for you. Completely stupid.

It was fine for me as well, bring on the downvotes!

Hard disagree. I think we’re born stupid, that’s very different.

Honestly, your comment sounds a lot like the “original sin” shit that the Christian church tries to push.

I used to be against losing the headphone jack, but now I’m without one, I honestly don’t miss it.

No more wires getting caught, tangled or damaged and the sound quality is just as good unless you’re an audio engineer.

You make a very good point.

However, some people would say despite the great suffering that some of us go through that ultimately, nothing matters. No matter the triumphs of humanity, a meteor could wipe it all out tomorrow and there would be but a trace that we ever even existed.

Your point also implies that we have freewill, whereas others would suggest that we only have what appears to be freewill. Whether you help those in need or you don’t, your path is set.

Reddit is a lot of things, but to call it Nazi devalues the word. Shame on you.

This is the most pedantic reply so far.

Is the insinuation here that the AI industry is unregulated? Because I’m not against regulations that would drive these improvements.
