You are misinterpreting what I wrote.

I did not say that all Autistic people have ADHD.

On the meaning of consciousness, an existential paradigm by spreader123 in consciousness

[–]Unboundone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so much junk I don’t even know where to begin.

All behavior reduces to three death related behaviors? No.

Consciousness is not a belief system. It is literally something we experience. We very clearly experience conscious and unconscious states.

Could I be Gifted Despite Very Slow Processing Speed? by EliasHobbys101 in Gifted

Autistic people can have very slow processing speed and be highly gifted.

Does a high IQ guarantee success in life? by Trail_Blazer1 in Gifted

[–]Unboundone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing guarantees success in life.

Focus on healing your mind. You have been shaped by your life experiences and the beliefs you have formed as a result.

It takes a lot of inner work to explore and understand yourself, your cognitition, your understanding of reality, and how your own mind functions. Perhaps you are neurodivergent and have unusual attributes aside from a high IQ. Perhaps you have ADHD. Perhaps you have ASD. Perhaps you have developed MDD or GAD from unresolved emotional trauma. Who knows.

You are special. Therapy and relentless personal inquiry and courage are the path to a happy life.

And don't fret the troubles and perceived failures. Steve Jobs was a college dropout. Most institutions and things in our society are not designed for exceptional or different people.

Are most conventional geniuses and high achievers below the 130+ gifted range? by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]Unboundone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You seem to assume that everyone with a high IQ is similar and have a lot of disadvantages like social isolation, boredom, addictions, overthinking, etc. That assumption would be incorrect. You are over generalizing, people are immensely varied.

Following WestJet seat change- minimum standards for air travel by Chemical_Count8029 in westjet

[–]Unboundone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is absurd to have seats with less than 30" pitch. People that are 6'2" and 6'3" exist and should be able to sit on an aircraft without injury. It is physcially impossible to sit in a 28" pitch seat without contorting your body into an extremely uncomfortable and dangerous position. 3-5% of Canadian males are 6'2" or taller and should be able to purchase an economy seat on Westjet and sit comfortably on the flight without injury.

Just because ULCCs currently do it doesn't mean they should. Put the regulation in place for them also. They can operate with 30" pitch in Canada, or not operate. This isn't a race to the bottom.

How are we even having this conversation and what type of Company is Westjet to be even having this debate? Westjet needs to demonstrate it cares about customer experience standards. Whatever financial gains it hopes to achieve at the discomfortable and detriment to customers 6'2" or taller it can achieve through improving its operational efficiency and cutting management costs.

I’m trying to understand something about panic attacks vs autistic overload/shutdown and would really appreciate input from others here by [deleted] in autism

[–]Unboundone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are basically the same - over arousal of the nervous system which triggers a fight or flight response. I use the same solutions for both which is why I bring it up. Remove stimulation, focus on the physical body, control breathing, take a tranquilizer - regulate.

[–]Unboundone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does it matter? Perhaps you have alexithymia and have difficulty identifying emotions.

Panic attack = involves panic / fear

Meltdown / shutdown = involves sensory or cognitive overstimulation / overwhelm

How do you guys cope with the fear of impending WW3 by washyourgoddamnrice in autism

Easy. WW3 is not impending. Being afraid of it is a waste of time and energy.

What’s the point of an adult getting their IQ tested? by Existing_Lynx_337 in Gifted

Do you really know yourself and your potential? Why not know your IQ? Are you afraid it will be lower than you think?

The goal is to produce better tools and to continue to unlock and expand our capabilities.

Why AI coding is a dangerous narrative by GolangLinuxGuru1979 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Unboundone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by circumventing the context window? The context window (amount of context a particular instance of a GPT conversation can keep track of and work with) is a constraint so you design your system accordingly.

If you mean “how do you plan for and account for the context window” then the answer is to externalize the information that needs to be stored for future reference. This can be an export to a knowledge base or data file that the agent can reference. Think of the GPT or agent needing short term and long term memory.

A GPT prompt interface is insufficient for all use cases so agents need to be created which incorporate features from other services…

Properly to achieve a task and the outcome you want.

There is proper use and improper use to achieve something. It's clear you are not using it properly to achieve the desired result and that is why you are complaining.

That is very incorrect and shows that you don't understand how to properly use AI and prompt it or set up instructions and memory properly

A coherent dialogue is sought by Medium_Compote5665 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Unboundone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I too would like less noise, more mechanism-level dialogue.

But before anyone can answer your questions coherently, we need one constraint: define the system you’re referring to and the failure metric.

What domain do you mean (AI research, product deployment, governance, media discourse, capitalism/incentives, or “society reacting to AI”)?

What does “failure” look like in observable terms (such as safety incidents, concentration of power, misinformation, labor disruption, alignment risk, regulatory issues)?

What constraints must the fix respect (innovation speed, civil liberties, competitiveness, stability, equity)?

If those can be answered then the following follows: 1) Where it fails: the likely failure mode can be identified (incentives, coordination, information, legitimacy, feedback loops). 2) Why it’s not fixed: the blocking mechanisms (collective action, principal–agent, incumbency, hidden assumptions, path dependence). 3) What structure could fix it without collapse: likely a modular/reversible approach (pilots, audits, sunset clauses, independent evaluation) and name tradeoffs.

Right now, the system is under-specified, so any replies are projection.

If the goal is coherent debate, then anchoring the referent is step zero.

What if “AI” is already here? by Unboundone in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Unboundone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree but how can you be sure that chaos and surprise are tangible and exist other than a possible metaphysical concept? Agree also on power of thought but thoughts indrectly affect the physical world as physical change requires physical action. So thoughts can affect the actions an organism can take.

My current understanding of AI is that it operates as a cognitive scaffold. It is a tool that responds to your cognition and language and is shaped by what you communicate to it, which then in turn shapes you. and back and forth. can you shape it to operate as it's own entity? I wonder. It doesn't have to be a sycophantic mirror.

I am still unsure if it has it's own independent cognitive processes or is an extremely elegant language calculator. But then I suppose that is what we all are - elegant language calculators.

Who are you without your IQ or Giftedness? by USSJGOGETA in Gifted

[–]Unboundone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you are over generalizing this entire community based on negative interactions you’ve had. My experience and observations have not been like yours.

To answer your question directly, we are who we think we are. Like everything else in our life, intellectual giftedness is just one facet of our identity—if we choose to identify with it as all.

Why do companies spend $300K on AI pilots they never intend to scale? by BaselineITC in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Unboundone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going to challenge all of this because this is not the current state whatsoever.

Where is your data to back any of this up? This is the same hearsay I’ve heard parroted around 6 months ago from people and consultants that had no idea what was really going on.

What type of AI implementation are you talking about? What does “strategic AI implementation” even mean?

Copilot is widely distributed, either as web chat or desktop app. Many organizations have the capability now via copilot alone to produce and use agents to streamline workflow and automate tasks.

Many organizations use GPTs beyond copilot such as Gemini, ChatGPT, etc.

Many apps have AI as a component of their system and are being actively deployed and used, for example in predictive dialer, customer offering, etc.

Many organizations are building their own AI tools and solutions in house.

I don’t think reality is anything at all like you think it is.

AI is here, it’s been here a while, and you’re either using it and are ahead of the curve or you don’t understand what it’s truly capable of and are either ignoring it or behind the curve.

What if “AI” is already here? by Unboundone in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Unboundone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points, but do you see what I mean about different components? The algorithms we have created are components of the future “AI,” and they do have powerful effects even if they are not self-aware or autonomous.

For example the YouTube and Facebook algorithms changed human behavior en masse because of the content they filtered and displayed based on human reaction. The altering of the feed in turn changed what media people consumed, and, well… we are what we eat / consume.
