my brain needs all sorts of stimuli and challenges from different directions. I am a very functional bipolar person. left to myself without external challenges I grow self destructive.
Well. write a better sonnet on your very own, bro. BTW I choose to share a humorous one, not anything deep. I prefer laughter to despair, but that's just me.Hope this is not reflective to your AI
I don't even think about or question the information digesting requirements of my brain anymore. The intake and consumption requirements of information is simply a full time everyday all day technique used by me to get through life in the most healthy way that I am capable of. It's just what I do now and I don't even consider anything else or any other stuff/methods to get my days done. I too have ongoing mental health issues/struggles derived from abuse that are very PTSD related sort of stuff and some off shoots of schizophrenia like voices/narratives with critically insulting damaging voices/memories that make me relive everything that I hear daily hours later in multiple ways/emotions that become long term memories recalled days, weeks and even months later as if they actually occurred and I must analyze them daily to ensure that I don't ingest them as long term memory recalls later. All that came from long term daily physical abuse, severe mental abuse and mind control, the total death of my confidence, the absolute pushing down of my emotions and sense of personal self and the resulting very poor comprehension/ reasoning skills needed to realize others actual mental abilities and mental age and not their physical age. I was a extremely poor judge of age and mental competency for many years. I am at age ~60 now and just beginning to understand and know that I am mentally significantly older than my physical age. These major issues where caused by my totally terrible abuser parents that I fully escaped from at age ~14. The mental health issues intermittently persist daily/weekly to this day and I have a ruptured internal organ to this day from that abuse too as a memento of those times. So... I appreciate the challenges of any mental health matter and I understand the need for strong coping skills/methods to get by in times of struggle with mental health matters.
At work I am a person many people seek out. My title these days is "Master". Not saying I know why any US based company would use that term...
I had some help along the way in life from people that saw reasons to make effort to assist me and took me under their wing and some even went out on a limb risking taking to get into my brain and undo my paradigms, damaging thoughts and methods. I am a white/pink 10th generation Canadian of Scottish ancestry with a very polite English method upbringing. One such person that took major risks to get into my brain to help me was a small old black man from Trinidad and Tobago that was also a electronic technician before he retired that decided I needed regular visits at his home for wine, beers, talk, discussion, old catchy jazz and older funky British music and intention forming yelling at me angrily with major amounts of emphasis directed at me to stop the, "What about isms', stop the "scare crow discussion tactics" and stop the lack of confidence confusion about common sense ideas that I made complicated and over analyzed etc. He was making very strong effort to get into my mind and get me to use common sense simple factual critical thinking and stop the madness that was holding me down and back. So I felt and saw that he meant well, I stuck with it, I endured the frustration and pain of the learning, put into long term memory all he said and I pull it all out whenever I need it to this day and use all of it because he was 100% totally right about every single thing he said to me. Sometimes I really wanted to just tell him to just eFF oFF and walk out but I didn't and sometimes I really think he thought I was possibly going to do that or maybe even worse but he persisted and made sure to effect real change. So... I don't sweat people that are idiots, fools and worse very much now. I just recognize them for what they are, admit it to myself, don't make excuses, acknowledge they most likely will never improve and maybe can't and often they are not capable of more and so I move on and don't feel aggravated or aggressive and realize that I must care for myself sometimes before others otherwise I will be totally useless to all others and not just a few and I forgive before forgiveness and carry on with my day knowing that if I have to I can and will and that I am a capable person. It makes life so much better to be honest with myself, respect my personal time, thoughts, energy, effort and not need to care too too much about the stuff people do that annoys, irritates and makes little to zero sense to any person with any proper level of critical thinking ability. I was going nutterZ after ~9 years of home audio gear sales with the multiple tens of thousands of people recorded by the security system every week coming in and the amount of absolute fools of both female and male genders that I had to talk with and I erased all that with many beers and cocktails after work. Escaping the massive quantity of people and getting into mechatronics saved me from certain mental anguish. But with that newfound quantum physics knowledge and method came new challenges and issues in that I saw the entire universe differently and I needed to think all day everyday about all the ideas that popped into my mind and I became socially inept. All I wanted was more electronics stuff daily and so I worked 72 to 74 hours per week for years and I became very good at what I was doing in a very short period of time. The exact opposite of before when my interpersonal skills where at the top of the heap and made me very successful at sales. So I went from this to that, grew my hair to the middle of my back, then cut it all off on a hot intense sweaty summer day to mm length and I learned that some people simply don't like short hair people and they liked me before that...LoL. I learned that some people are very fickle and attempting to make sense of all that jazz is a stupid effort and not a proper endeavor.
I find contributing to the news commentary daily to be very self learning, makes me really see all the various personalities and the weird/absurd/idiotic/foolish/aggressive/abusers/manipulators and generally just simple interfering sorts that get their jollies there all day everyday by arguing everything, micro-managing commentary to get attention and insisting on being relevant on all topics like they are authoritative figures and many of these people intentionally cheat facts and manipulate to get jollies and pleasure. It's that simple. They mostly have no real expertise, they make up fictions and present them as facts and spin the spin. AI might actually work against this sort of people.
A first year professor, during the first day of class, told us that he will repeat all of the significant EE information in lectures for "5 Tau, so that they'll sink in your brains with a chance of 98.2%."
It is a fundamental issue with the technology. They are trying to replace Google Search with AI answers that take a million times more resources. Hard to imagine how you ever turn that into a money maker. The thing I have heard is AI acting as your shopping agent and making money out of commission.
The Brave AI search has been so much better than google for me. I search for information from lost product manuals and get it in a concise essay. Backed up, usually, with links to the manuals.
No doubt. I use Gemini because it is so convenient as party of my search. Every day I am amazed at the answers I get. Then again I often click on the reference link and get an obscure video or some random dude backing that conclusion from Gemini. Yet Gemini offered it as if Einstein had said something about space time!
Elon Musk AI and robotic predictionWill it be possible in the future when robotics and AI merge...the world will get robot workers that become farmers, contruction workers, tailors, provide clean water, become chef, delivering stuff etc so that humans don't even have to work? ie the AI robots work to serve humans. We basically live at home and listen to music
Out of curiosity I asked Gemini why this happens, because I too had exactly the same feeling. Its full reply is linked below, but essentially it says that these are two unconnected processes: high quality generative answer and post-hoc video search in YouTube by keywords. So it is not generating answer based on what it’s quoting
In the end it says: “The text is a synthesis of humanity's best written knowledge. The video is just a link to whatever currently ranks highest on YouTube for those keywords. Until the AI can visually assess "authority" and "production value" effectively, this gap in quality will remain”.
