🔥⚫ Neurodivergent burnout feels like losing access to yourself. The skills, words, and energy you once had vanish. Even simple tasks feel impossible. Noise is louder, emotions heavier, focus gone. You shrink your world just to survive the day.

Part of being Autistic and ADHD, for me, is sometimes becoming overstimulated and exhausted by my own thoughts. All the processing, considering various factors, planning, problem-solving, scripting, and more, can be a lot to navigate.

I used to think I wasn't an anxious person because I didn't panic or melt down, but it was only this year I realized that I barely ever live in the present moment and 90% of my thinking in a day is just anticipating the future to where I am hyperprepared for a dozen outcomes

also most anxiety is not “felt.” you don’t need to feel anxious to be anxious. which is why you get the most neurotic uptight people insisting “they aren’t anxious.” it’s a clenching/bracing thing not a racing heart

It’s honestly understandable that Saudis thought Yemen was attacking Mecca when they were actually targeting Aramco facilities when you consider that they worship wealth and decadence more than they ever care to worship Allah. To them the oil pumps might as well be the Kaaba.

Was running late for my 5:30 pm class but the moment i saw this i suddenly couldnt give a damn

Effort News founder @brianchau57 reveals how the same funding network sat behind the outlet, journalist, project, and experts in a single Guardian AI safety story: “I reported last week on these firms that are all paid by one of two foundations: Dustin Moskovitz's Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, and Jaan Tallinn's Survival and Flourishing Fund.” “Over the course of one Guardian article, this was a piece published by The Guardian, which was funded by Open Philanthropy, was written by a journalist whose salary was being paid by Open Philanthropy, described the AI Futures Project, which was funded by Open Philanthropy, and quoted three experts who were all funded by Open Philanthropy or Survival and Flourishing Fund.” “This was the construction of the entire Potemkin field. A Potemkin field of expertise in which actual truth is shut out, actual expertise is shut out, and deference to this doomsday ideology is exclusively focused on.”

I went to an rationalist/EA AI doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that AI will kill everyone. Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down. My experience was the exact opposite. The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that AI literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong. Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom. I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise. At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of AI doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position. I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent AI inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well. That does not mean AI safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing AI systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have. But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse that they refuse to be reasoned out of it.

An outsider's impression of a rationalist/EA event: "What I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These ppl are... deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse that they refuse to be reasoned out of it."

this is exactly what i mean when i say that AI doomerism distracts from climate change it’s a thought experiment that’s explicitly formulated to be eschatological so it naturally overrides all other concerns

Gebru and I have been way ahead of the curve on this, for years. If you don’t know about TESCREAL, read the article linked below! It is absolutely essential for making sense of what’s going on right now, how we got here, and what’s like to happen. Pfff.
