6. ADHD may be designed for unstable worlds.
The old world rewarded people who could:
• sit still
• follow rules
• repeat the same task
• finish in a straight line
• obey artificial timelines
The new world rewards people who can:
• spot patterns fast
• connect unrelated ideas
• adapt under pressure
• test without certainty
• change direction quickly
• move before the path is clear
This is where the ADHD mind can become powerful.
There are dogs in the street that understand AI better than the UK government.
You have no business being anywhere near AI legislation until you have used it exhaustively yourself hands-on rather than relying on briefings. If you don't truly understand what it can and can't do, you're doomed to fail.
This is exactly why so many of us oppose the huge data gathering exercise that will be any form of Digital ID, or age verification for social media, and so on.
Time and again the government and public bodies demonstrate they cannot keep our data safe.
The only way is not to gather it at all.
h/t @tachitos21!
everyone assumed ai would flatten the talent distribution.. turns out it amplifies the hell out of it.
it used to be: can you build it.
now it’s: do you know what’s worth building, & can you feel when it’s wrong.
that’s ~unteachable & ~unautomatable right now. models can generate 100 variants of anything but they still can’t tell you which one matters.
amazing talent is roughly priceless in the ai era because with ai it’s leverage++++++.
