"The cognitive traits that make the neurodivergent different are precisely what make them exceptional in an AI-driven world."

1 month earlier: Bend the knee, or go work somewhere else. That's the message a growing number of company leaders are preaching, now that a leaner workforce is in and DEI is out. Palantir is "the first company to be completely anti-woke," chief executive Alex Karp said on an earnings call this week.

Me, a neurodivergent DEI loving Libshit who can barely pay rent, day dreaming about a world where these dumb motherfuckers are forced to ~~live~~ attempt to actually survive under the Darwinist rules they want to impose on everyone else:

"We believe neurodivergent individuals will have a competitive advantage as elite builders of the next technological era, and we're hiring accordingly for all roles."

This is... partially correct. LLMs and other machine learning structures are largely not as useful to the average neurotypical for various reasons. For neurotypicals, LLM's are almost always just used to replicate answers essentially equivalent to a overconfident neurotypical midwit's answer or an answer you could have found with a normal internet search. LLM's end up being a more lazy form of information look up but due to the frequency of inaccuracy this benefit is tainted for the average slub who likely wont bother to double check answers ever or will waste time checking every answer. Where as someone who has either an existing broad or deep knowledge will more likely notice something is fishy with an answer and will know when to double check a majority of the time rather than never or always.

For someone with ADHD or autism (or both) LLM's are a legitimately a useful tool. An autistic will double check the answers at the right times, but even with that likely find a strong use case of LLM's as large personal data crunchers for their hyper-fixations and social skill coaches for their poor natural social skills. And people with ADHD will likely use AI to enhance and exploit their lateral thinking and existing broad knowledge of the world and might even help them keep their thoughts and plans together better than say, a calendar would.

Though, for someone with Schizophrenia or Bipolar they're a black hole of insanity. Its like the opposite of useful for those people. Its actively harmful to their well being.

Using the word "neurodivergent" to excuse using and abusing drugs.

I knew plenty of neurodivergent people and people with diagnosed autism.

None of them act like meth addicts.

(Some kids have that high energy but not adults. And the kids don't have the other mania symptoms.)

Not a single one.

Grandiose thinking, extreme elated mood, and high energy (aka, mania) is a symptom of bipolar 2 disorder. But also is a common effect of stimulant drugs like speed, PCP, cocaine, meth. Whatever else is out there.

If you have biopolar2 and do stimulants you get double the mania effects.

Classic mania.

Drugs.

They might be neurodivergent too.

But that's not what causes the mania.

I know what you're thinking. You probably look at each of them and think, wow this guy really looks like he's got his shit together. /s

Too much money.

No therapy bc they're "too strong and masculine."

Probably drugs.

As long as it's self medication to help them cope with life though, it qualifies as biohacking smart-therapy but not as drugs.

Drugs are only for poor people in jail or weak minded NPCs who sought medical help for a medical problem, received a medical diagnosis, and were prescribed medication by a medical doctor instead of an internet ordained shaman.

I definitely don't think he's got his shit together.

I think he was born rich and exploits people and that's why he is even more rich now.

Self medicating can still be drug addiction.

Actually that's almost always how it works.

Alcoholics self medicate.

Honestly can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not. Can you clarify ?

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I was just trying to make a joke. I don't think anybody would believe they have their shit together

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

-i don't think anyone would believe....

Wish I was as optimistic as you. 😅

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Good point.

I guess it would be more accurate to say that if I thought somebody really believed these people had their shit together, l would probably just not bother with a discussion about it.
