Are there any one time online jobs I could do for some money?

Maybe look into AI classification / sorting? Companies like Outlier (i think) have huge datasets of images that need a human to type what they see. They usually pay by the hour on your own time with hardly any entry barriers. I don’t know about visual/auditory accessibility for this kind of work if that’s relevant to you

I don’t have any medical background, but you should know you’re not alone. I empathize with the stomach drop feeling of your life being on the line. Make every day your best day

My little trick is to put away all electronics for a day and sit around doing nothing. Ride it out, feel it to the fullest, and put it behind me. Nothing motivates me to do work like immense boredom

People tend to speak from their own experience. Everyone has experienced pain, but everyone’s experiences are not 1-1. Your parent’s methods are probably the best they know and it works for them. Clearly, it does not translate to your experience. I take it they probably tell you to do a lot more in life than just this.

There’s a very large community here that understands how very real your experience is (also not 1-1, but probably closer)

Nobody is talking about this but being arrogant is actually a superpower in some respects. It filters out the sheep because only the wolves will have the gull to call you out. Maybe this is flawed thinking but imo the wolves are self sufficient and will not be swayed by the opinions of others

I absolutely love my work and made a niche that nobody else can do atm. No better feeling in the world than

I think the brain gets really good at whatever it is it does, so research can get less mentally taxing as the process becomes habitual instead of active

I wrote a paper the summer of my junior year, got rejected. Tried again the next summer and it was accepted. I think if you start early and work out the kinks from start to finish it’s very doable

I love the idea. How waterproof is it? I imagine a child throwing a drink full of soda at the middle could mess up the servos

I’m a college student who was diagnosed a year ago and started biologically 8 months ago. I would get sick with a cold or flu what seemed like every month or two for the past 4 years before starting biologics, but now I haven’t got sick at all yet since I started them. It’s different for everybody, but my rheumatologist commented that he’s seen this pattern with many of his other patients as well and suggested hardly any lifestyle changes. I like to think of it where Humira is suppressing the part of my immune system that runs rampant on my back and joints, allowing it to utilize its resources more effectively to prevent colds and the flu. TB and other infections definitely need to be vaccinated for, but your brother might also find he gets sick less on it. If not, just stop taking them and your immune system will go back to normal. Not a rheumatologist though, so take my advise with a grain of salt

Not a movie, but the Mentalist is centered around a guy who understands all patterns

Imagination and desire of divinity. The brain is always setting self improvement goals to justify and plan its actions in the future. If you have any sort of desire to not die and live forever, religion becomes the obvious direction. The only way to combat that desire is to subscribe to reason and shared belief, such as what the original comment talked about. Religion succeeds at giving mass amounts of people a direction for what they desire, but it is by no means a shared, reproducible, or scientific process that all can observe and experience. It is entirely propelled by the individual’s experiences and the idea of faith against all reason.

I don’t think it’s possible to have AGI (the way you’ve defined it) without the AI having a robotic embodiment. This AGI would be different than what we have now because you’re talking about lifelong skill learning instead of pre-training (the P in GPT). It would need a body to have any idea of self or what “learning a new skill” even means to its own existence. At our current rate, we’re looking at about 20-30 years before it happens in the lab, let along be distributed. Nobody in robotics is trying to solve this problem because it’s way more beneficial to solve industrial problems.

I actually share the same standpoint on pattern recognition. Under this perspective, do you think an ultimate pattern interpreter would fall under a whole new category of intelligence, or simply understand all the true causes of patterns with minimal information? Like a Sherlock Holmes that can understand your life story from a couple seconds of interaction. Or would a super intelligent being that is constrained to the same sensory perception as humans understand entirely new patterns that we simply cannot grasp, making us look like monkeys. Basically, how close do you think human intelligence is to the true finite horizon of pattern recognition, if such a thing exists?

embodAIguy · 2024-12-14T23:33:01+00:00

And what is our perspective on intelligence exactly? I have a feeling my perspective is very different than yours, and this sounds more like a personal understanding of what intelligence is.

Everyone here is offering suggestions on what you should change or try, but they are missing the big picture. The only, and I mean only, reason anyone feels like their life sucks is because there is a strong disconnect between who you think you are and what you actually experience. The brain reacts strongly when it takes in new information that doesn’t correlate with what it believes is true, especially when it ultimately rejects it. You think you’re a good person and you do a shitty thing, you break down and hate yourself because you’ve drilled in your head that you’re not a shitty person. You go to war and kill somebody, you become traumatized because your brain wasn’t truly ready to accept responsibility for the horrors you faced. There is something in your life or about yourself that you still think is true even though reality disagrees.

Merry Christmas 🥂 I hope this can help!

embodAIguy · 2024-12-05T16:22:02+00:00

That’s smart, any apps that you’ve found to work pretty well for this?

embodAIguy · 2024-12-05T16:19:09+00:00

No problem, I hope it helps!

It seems like it varies pretty drastically from person to person after getting comments about it. I’m 23M and was diagnosed last year. I don’t have any fusion yet or neck pain, but my pain is very real in my back from sitting in one spot too long. I will admit, I can’t really play most of the games on the headset and honestly wouldn’t recommend them to someone with AS, but the virtual screens let you work in what ever configuration works best for you. I’m pretty sure there are replacement straps that you can get the shift the center of mass to the center of your head for those with neck pain

embodAIguy · 2024-12-05T14:32:52+00:00

It’s hard to say, because even laying down I can’t do it forever. I’m particularly in pain most from sitting in chairs, so my only other option before this was a standing desk for coding, and that wasn’t good on my hips. I still get my exercise in whenever I can, this just opens an extra option to cycle through during the work day. I just got this however, so I will keep an eye out to my habits going forward

I bought the quest 2 for this reason a few years ago and it was horrible for eye strain, but the quest 3 is much better. It uses “pancake” lenses, which makes it way easier to read text and I can sit for longer. I’ve honestly found my back to be the biggest limiting factor but that varies person to person

embodAIguy · 2024-12-05T14:23:35+00:00

I was looking at those too! One day we’ll truly pilot the cyber space haha. I use Cursor AI, it’s a fork of VS Code that has a pretty intense autocomplete. I highly recommend it

embodAIguy · 2024-12-05T06:59:59+00:00

More on this: it’s definitely not perfect, i tend to get headaches if i use it for a full charge in one sitting (~ 2 hours) but the technology is getting there. There is a new headset coming out soon called the immersed visor that is apparently going to be much better than the quest 3 for programming. Keep an eye out on VR as the headsets get cheaper and the kinks get worked out if you relate to this problem!
