@something_else honestly, you sound blessed to be employed in a workplace that has adapted and restructured quickly as a result of advances in AI. Do you imagine your job would be less satisfying without such quick evolution? Cheers for sharing too

@StaraX and sometimes it's not even the Red Pill thinking that is toxic - but the solutions people propose as a "fix" to their problems, that are the real issue.

@Butters yes I am familiar with how it works now, I played up until Midnight 🙂 You will enjoy Chromie time !

Are you still as satisfied with your work without the problem solving aspect (or it taking a lesser role)? I ask because this would kill my work ethic (if I didn't have to perform creative problem solving with tight sets of constraints). I am lucky that in construction - every single project is totally different. And there are many ways to skin a cat, as they say. So I constantly learn and really stretch my ability to the limit - challenging myself to lower costs, shorten time, find better, safer methods etc. I sort of turn into a self-sabotaging malcontent when I am not challenged.

@AION Sweet, then I consider the statement disinformation and not grounded in any sort of fact, evidence or reality (maybe just your own). Cheers for clarifying.

Snap snap then! Give us a long video - degustation menu style. The users need a new spiritual thirst trap

I consider this you taking back the original statement.

?????? You did say it - it's fine to take it back or simply reply it wasn't what you meant.

@bazera Cheers for your thoughts! I think it is about how the tool is used, and less about AI itself. But it makes me reflect on how the mind needs to be used regularly as skill we learn do degrade without use. Similar to what pervasive AI use is revealing about our education system - critical thinking was fucked to begin with, to a large extent. AI use in the education system just revealed the cracks, issues and weaknesses already present; it was never about understanding, and always about a "pass".

Anything will do, other than you making up stuff randomly to try to push disinformation narratives. A study, some research, some sort of consensus that illustrates psychedelics always causing damage to good structures of of the brain.

You are making shit up to support your argument. Present some evidence that psychedelics always destroy good structures of the brain, please.

@bazera Do you think it is necessary to learn coding from scratch prior to being able to check and understand what AI generates? Do you feel there is use to still practicing coding in this way, as a method of retaining the skill? Interested in the redundancy factor and how that effects cognition, skill and ability. And if these can atrophy with disuse.

When I ask myself the question, I like to push it into a reframe. I invert it to "What did I gain?" It allows me to connect to the negativity around loss. Grief comes up - and the negative charge I felt is discovered to have wallpapered over the true feeling. Grieving is then allowed, and processed. Connected with. The feeling then abates naturally. And I feel peace. I suppose the connection to the feeling is the same Goodness as the Goodness that flourishes from the connection to God. The connection to Self. The Knowing of Self. The Loving of Self. Connection is the ultimate Goodness!!

The Cost of Understanding Why was there a cost for you? If one has nothing to prove, true listening, true understanding, naturally happens. Don't you think? Do you feel you had to give something up that was unwillingly given? Why is there pain / fear here for you? After all, this is where the "negativity" arises from. Where did you first feel the pain of this cost? And has this been connected with, so it is not echoing through the work again and again?

I think you would need telepathy for that! (in the context of knowing what you or I believe, as it applied to this dialogue) But I would add it to the brainstorm list, indeed. I can brainstorm some problematic methods of knowing... confabulating, hallucinating, overclaiming, rationalising, self-deception, projection... mind-reading. I often think about which version of 'knowing' a user might be invoking in their comments or arguments.
