Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn’t misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn’t agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover.
They’re not broken. They’re calibrated differently. They don’t avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it’s deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn’t mean loneliness. It means higher standards.
That’s not antisocial behavior. That’s emotional intelligence.
@Hauntedhelix@AshtonForbes@Cazzacker Einstein was a patent clerk with mediocre grades who skipped class. His professors called him lazy. History is full of people who got told they were “out of their league” right before they rearranged the universe.
@Sujay___Raj@AshtonForbes I regularly follow Ashton’s streams. Sometimes I question whether our favorite IT healthcare specialist represents CIA managed disclosure of teleportation. I’m on to you, Mr. Forbes!
Maybe it can help accelerate maldev, but for it to be any good the person guiding the LLM will have to understand how systems function at a lower level. At least if the malware is to be something worth worrying about. I’ve picked apart malware from the “make me a malware, make no mistakes” folks and those make me laugh. Terrible.
pattern recognition is a lonely gift. by the time everyone else finally sees it, you’ve already been called dramatic, negative or crazy for pointing it out.
