Google's play on Search, Ads and AI feels obvious to me.

  • They know search is broken.
  • And that people use AI in part because it takes the ads and SEO crap out.
  • IE, AI is now what Google was in 2000. A simple window onto the internet.
  • Ads/SEO profits will fall with AI.
  • But Google will then just insert shit into AI "answers" for money.
  • Ads managed + up-to-date AI will be their new mote and golden goose.

I mean, this is obvious, right?

The whole issue with LLM models right now is that they are notoriously difficult to control. If it were up to Google, every single response would include a reference to some sponsored content - but they can’t do that without completely destroying the usefulness of the output and besmirching the sponsor’s brand.

Of course, as time passes, we’re going to refine this technology, until we have enough control to implement these terrible/profitable ideas. Like any aspect of life under capitalism, we can really only enjoy it while it lasts.

I hope at that point we have enough capable alternatives. Like, hopefully around the time they add ads is also the time when open-source models and apps have caught up again.

“ One look at this chart should be sufficient to understand why the Great Crash of 1929 was both great, and a major cause of the Great Depression which followed it, and why levered speculation, rather than rational calculation, dominates the behaviour of asset markets.”

“ Finance, and banking, and macroeconomics, are therefore integrated topics: they cannot be treated as separate domains, as Neoclassical treats them. My focus in this book is on how macroeconomics and the theory of banking need to be overhauled, and a similar overhaul is needed of finance theory.”

“ I won't attempt that here, but fortunately, that process has been started by a group of mathematicians in the London Mathematical Laboratory. They are developing what they call "Ergodicity Economics" to replace the existing theory of finance.”

Many children with autism thrive on routine and predictability, which can make vacations challenging for them. Here's a story from USA Today with tips on how to plan a trip, choose an airline that provides accommodations for autistic children, and details on what to expect from an autism-certified resort.

Trying to make sense of my identity and personal history in reference to my late dx of ASD is, exhausting.

My assessment is coming up in early May. Early indications suggest being medicated will be life changing.

Anyone know of any decent adult support groups?

My doctor wasn't interested in giving me an diagnosis.

I've had him for 10 years, have only seen him for 3-4 appointments during this time, and In our 45 seconds discussing autism, he stated, after literallylooking me up and down, "I don't see it."

Well, you wouldn't. I do eye contact for important short meetings like doctors and lawyers, I am a chameleon and can dress myself for any role, including, "older dude going to doctors office" and I can read, write and speak fairly eloquently, so in these meetings, what would he even be "seeing"?? 🤔

I'm assuming that some people shop for diagnosis for long term disability or other reasons, but I just wanted to know if I suck at Being Normal for any particular reason besides I Suck at Life, which I'm ... oh, whatever. There is no easy path for a second opinion, so I guess it dies here.

Apparently not after all, and as I don't see any other path to diagnosis, I should probably shut the f about it

hooves OP ,

@Tim_McTuffty @BernieDoesIt @actuallyautistic apologies for the late reply but this is totally relatable, and I'm glad you got assessed. I am probably going to do a serious set of self exams, and maybe see if there is any path to seeing a more qualified professional here (as with many places, the medical profession here is still stressed by echos of the covid crisis, and there are doctor shortages and waits for certain specialties.)

@Tim_McTuffty@beige.party avatar

@hooves @BernieDoesIt @actuallyautistic I got lucky, the NHS has a horrendous waiting list , but there is a little know bit of legislation that allowed me to use a private provider (after much soul searching) & it was done & dusted within 6 months.

I wish you luck with your journey mon ami, if you check out there maybe some vaguely useful nuggets of info buried in the dross of my daily ramblings about ASD & life in general.

Take care 😊🫶🐿️🖖

@Zauberfrau viele grundlegende Thesen darin werden, wie der deutsche Informatiker Wolfgang Ertl über die Analyse seiner US Kollegin Elaine Rich schreibt, auch 2050 "immer noch aktuell" sein, andere werden helfen zu verstehen, wie wir dahin kamen wo wir sein werden (ich mit viel Glück und als phantastischer sicherlich auch noch).

Ist es vielleicht nur für Institutionen kostenlos?
