    Sure don't worry, I think my sense of humour doesn't always come across well. I can be dry af.

    I think it's down to what is useful for you really. Neurodiversity as a construct helps me to be more open about and accepting of things I've had to work harder than others for. I've naturally met more like-minded people irl through being open about it. It doesn't do any favours for your dating...

    Naww the av is good. <3 I'm afraid, we can't pretend that neurodiversity assessment is a scientific process. You complete some self-reported forms [reminding you of a certain personality forum? :rolleyes:] and a psychiatrist gives you their opinion based on your self-reported form. It's MBTI...

    I'm lurking tf out of the place but so far proud of my discipline. Another forum mafia game might tempt me into posting. :dolphin: For what it's worth re: autism thread, I think there's a fair chance you and most staple posters are neurodiverse. Your new avatar is autistic af.

    AI 2027 existential risk forecast

    Yeah, this. Anyone who thinks otherwise I want to see references to the exact technologies that make you think otherwise or some evidence to support your forecasting. Language model AI's don't have the ability to reason, all they do is pattern match and give the illusion of reasoning. Read up on...

    What songs are you listening to? /III/

    @Hadoblado will need to fix this for you. That album by Big Thief is also a great album, definitely in my favourites of the 2020s so far!

    Share your favorite song at the moment and I'll rank it 1-10

    It’s a stunning album that was forgotten in its time but has increasingly been getting the attention it deserved. You should really like it if you loved this song as it’s consistently good. This song is a bonus track so you’ll find it on the 19 track version of the album. Welcome to the forum btw!

    Objectively speaking in terms of most number of plays, Vashti Bunyan is my favourite songwriter I’ve discovered over the last 2 years. I don’t have a favourite, they’re all short and sweet:

    what is the hardest subject you study or encounter

    Computer science and human biology are probably the most technical topics I've studied.

    I suppose I'd ask what evidence do they provide to support this forecast?

    Mauvaise Foi

    You can only know by asking them I think. People change as they get older and their dreams can change as well. There can be many reasons they might give up on a dream or change direction and they’re not all negative reasons like fear of failure or lack of self-belief. When I was in early 20s I...

    Positive psychology

    Listening to and letting negative emotions have space to express themselves, but making sure when it's my time to respond to them that I do so positively. E.g. with compassion, assurance, forgiveness, positive or necessary actions. Having a clear direction and a sense of purpose. Having...

    Eliezer Yudkowsky: Artificial Intelligence and the End of Humanity

    Sure I hear you, but talking about invisible technologies we don’t know anything about is too hypothetical for me. I prefer to stick with what’s observable.
