That is a horrendous take. ADHD is prevalent enough for tons of people to completely forget they’re thirsty until they’re dehydrated, but it doesn’t mean we are inferior.
No matter how much eugenics happens, there will always be ADHDers and neurodivergents of all kinds, and likely still be heaps more who still forget to hydrate.
Also, if you’re constantly worrying every minute of the day if you’re hydrated enough or not, you’re not living or actually doing anything that’s interesting and fulfilling to you.
When I was in year 12 of high school last year, some students attempted to use ChatGPT to write their practice exams for them. Mind you, these practice exams are the same as proper state mandated exams, where there are to be zero electronics used whatsoever unless it’s a disability aid, but the practice ones are also just that, to practice your skills, not to write it off as some worthless obligation.
There were actually heaps more of these students who entirely used LLMs for their assignments, would be made to rewrite them because it’s AI written, then proceed to have ChatGPT write it again and pass it through a ‘humaniser’ which just made it unreadable. It’s alarming that these people are willing to stop using their mind at all just because some service from half way across the world wrote an essay better than they could before.
Wowza, nobody had foreseen this happening! Well, apart from everyone in the tech sector, and all who were laid off in almost every sector, and everyone else… ahh forget it!
On my MacBook Air m2, I’m currently using Qwen 3.5 4b with 8 bit quantisation, and even at its maximum context length, multiple web search RAGs, and the model being built for vision and reasoning, it only ever hits 4.3gb of memory tops.
I run it though LM Studio, so paired with the fact it’s a Mac, your mileage may vary in terms of how much memory it uses, but it does have [from my experience] an output quality a bit over ChatGPT 4o, and is actually really solid for research purposes if that’s what you’re looking for.
So running a community forum on a decade old laptop, or someone using a hand-me-down phone to watch videos are equal to openAI’s stargate hyperscaler?
We don’t classify a laptop a data centre just because it was repurposed as a web server, and furthermore, devices are so powerful today that you could probably do the same on a smart watch.
Either you don’t know what a data centre is, or are intentionally skewing the definition of “data centre” to fit your snarky reply.
So I guess the plan is to make a somehow buoyant hyperscaler powered on tidal energy tech which is pretty much still in its infancy, and radiate all the heat in an already too hot ocean?
My hyperfixated interests tend to be about technology in general, and adjacent to that, ive recently started watching around 7 episodes of Star Trek (currently on the 1st season of The Original Series), and plan to keep watching it for a long while.
My previous fixation lasted 7 months straight, and it was obsessively researching into computer memory architectures, mainly the unified and universal memory architectures. I haven’t even become bored of it yet, it’s just something I research less in now since I did it so thoroughly that I might need a break haha.
Ive also had another one that started around 10 months ago, around the same one as the memory architecture one, but is still going, and it’s about diving into how my mind works and how I can make things easier for myself (as well as find more evidence of me being neurodivergent, which has been very successful). Ive found that I’m very likely AuDHD (if you haven’t already realised from the previous statements), and I’ve been tying in many factors, including daily behaviours, a concussion I had 3 years and 3 days ago, etc, and have compiled it into a shit ton of digital notes.
