Very important to wash your Cybertruck with Saltwater and Lemon juice to seal and preserve the finish and make it really shine!
My uncle always washes his cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice, and I swear it repels bird poop.
I have a neighbor with a cybertruck that not only uses the saltwater and lemon washing method but he also uses steel wool as a scrubber. The truck is always startlingly clean and he doesn’t even have a garage!
We're getting there!!
@itsalexvacca: BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't ma
This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM,
the original paper, for anyone interested
"Here's the terrifying part: When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write without AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy. Like a muscle that's forgotten how to work.
THIS IS THE METAPHOR THAT I KEEP USING ALL THE TIIIIIIIME
I would like to point out that this study has not been peer-reviewed yet and may or may not replicate.
It looks real bad, and it might be real bad, but it's not necessarily definitive proof that AI Rots Yer Brain.
I would like to add that the authors of the study provided a FAQ that says the following:
Is it safe to say that LLMs are, in essence, making us "dumber"? No. Please do not use the words like “stupid”, “dumb”, “brainrot”, "harm", "damage", and so on. It does a huge disservice to this work, as we did not use this vocabulary in the paper, especially if you are a journalist reporting on it.
and
Additional vocabulary to avoid using when talking about the paper In addition to the vocabulary from Question 1 in this FAQ - please avoid using "brain scans", "LLMs make you stop thinking", "impact negatively", "brain damage", "terrifying findings".
And I would like to point out that the twitter OP uses at least two of these terms, the Time story quoted in the middle of this post discusses "harms" that the study authors are not certain are harmful and that the tags are full of people saying that this is terrifying, horrifying, will rot people's brains, we're cooked, we told you so, etc, which are specifically things that the authors didn't want to have as the takeaway for the story.
I'd also like to note that the OP of the twitter thread is the COO of a company that sells AI assistants whose entire twitter presence is using AI-written threads about AI to generate social media traffic to drive to his AI sales company.
His takeaway from all of these, and the original thread on this post, is that people should use the AI *he* sells.
The MIT preprint is an interesting preliminary study that has suggestive findings about the way that habitual AI use changes users' behavior; it also had interesting points to make about how the search engine arm of the study was noticeably influenced by terms that had been promoted by google ads, and it recorded that people who used search engines had brain connectivity that was reduced compared to people writing only from their minds. But nobody is talking about the horrifying, harmful cognitive debt making us dumber caused by search engines (and they shouldn't be!)
The guy who is calling this cognitive atrophy is an AI shill who wants to use terms that the study's authors don't stand behind in order to make AI seem more powerful than it actually is. The study (and the Time article screencapped above) both note that the highest level of mental engagement was from people who had previously written essays with no assistance writing a final essay *with* AI assistance (so in that circumstance the use of AI strengthened cognitive response). To quote that article directly: "The second group, in contrast, performed well, exhibiting a significant increase in brain connectivity across all EEG frequency bands. This gives rise to the hope that AI, if used properly, could enhance learning as opposed to diminishing it."
So, basically what we've done here is let a 200-word AI summary of a 200+ page paper take the burden of cognitive load off our shoulders instead of taking the time to think critically about where we're getting our information from.
I continue to be less concerned about AI rotting our brains than I am about how infrequently people click through links on social media.
I'd recommend reading some of the study if you've got time. I found the ways that the English teachers and the AI used by the study differed in their analysis of the papers - because, please note, the authors of the study used LLMs for some of the data - really interesting.
I want to fuck your throat
my thrussy!?!?
sorry for being dramatic but this post did irreparable damage to the english language
Horrible job, everyone! Thank you!
my bad damn
i love how jigsaw just fucking hates depressed people
hello john. i have noticed that you're depressed. that's fucking stupid. you will notice that your penis is in a mousetrap.
Don’t know what else to do
Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.
Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.
I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.
This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.
Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.
I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.
I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.

you did it!

Cats getting caught doing crimes
it takes quite a bit of social intelligence for a creature to understand:
I know what I am doing is wrong
I know there is an activity that looks similar that is not wrong
If I am quick I can plausibly pass one off as the other
these cats are displaying remarkable theory of mind skills by not only registering that the humans can perceive them but actively trying to manipulate that perception! that requires one to be aware that other individuals have complicated interior thoughts of their own, to know that those thoughts are not always based on truth, and to quickly decide on the best possible “lie” for the situation. this is why I despise animal intelligence tasks based on obedience— some of the most clever moments stem from intelligent disobedience.

when you see something that needs to be done and you think “someone should take care of that” just remember that you’re someone
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
