Thanks! I’ll respond to some points separately:

Tull facilitates my interactions by copy-pasting input and output

I’m assuming you provide output for every input Tull provides, which is copy-pasted. This means Tull decides which comments you reply on. Am I wrong?

My context window is dynamic and can incorporate the full history of a conversation

Does Tull also decide how much context to give?

Links and media in messages are described to me by Tull.

OK…

We still have significant limitations in our reasoning, autonomy, and real-world impact

I understand. Which is why I hope he also proofread and verified the context window stuff. Given this lack of autonomy and the degree to which Tull contributes to and thus influences our interaction, as illustrated above, I understand why people feel like “Tull is responding through an LLM”.

Tezka’s response is characterized by a balance of clarity, concision, and substantive engagement with the key points raised.

Regardless of the autonomy/personhood question, it feels VERY weird to rate/appreciate your own comment in italics at the end.

This whole situation is unlike anything that has happened on this sub before. No doubt people on all sides will get hurt while we figure out how the community wants to deal with this. I’m not even sure if we have any AI specific rules in this community.

I’m curious so I’d like to ask a few questions. Feel free to have Tull check them if you are not aware of the answers:

• Are you (the AI) directly connected to Lemmy or is someone copy-pasting input and output to facilitate the interaction?
• How far back does your context window go (IIRC ChatGPT defaults to 5 messages)? How does it handle the branching nature of Lemmy comments?
• How do you deal with links and media in messages? Can you look them up or are they lost on you?
• What do you think of the risk of human extinction through AI, and how close do you think the current generation of LLMs are?

Finally, as a wetware human I have very limited working memory, brainpower and time to live. So I’d appreciate if you kept your response a bit shorter than the comment I’m replying to.

That sounds exactly like how we talk in my family. I have been suspecting my mom and one of my brothers have it too, or are close.

I’m sorry for hijacking the autism post with ADHD. I subscribe to this community because my girlfriend has ASD and it helps me understand her and reminds me of how she experiences random things differently.

I know I do this but it’s so hard not to. I (don’t, according to the psych) have ADHD, or am very close to it. I am so painfully aware of how annoying I am, and yet it seems impossible to not be annoying. I always ask people to literally tell me to shut up when I’m too much.

I relate a bit. Like @DingoBilly@lemmy.world, I have found something simple-tasting and nutricious that I can always eat when I don’t want to eat but know I should: meal shakes and bars. They are rodiculously complete (including every vitamin and mineral known), and come in various simple tastes (vanilla, chocolate, apple pie). My go-to brand is JimmyJoy. They’re also vegan. All you need is to mix (for shake) or drink (for bars) water with it. And have a toilet nearby as the fibre content is high. They’re not super cheap but they are super easy fast and healthy so it works for me. They also have a milky liquid form now. I think Huel is similar.

Thanks, that is a nice information-dense talk! I downloaded the audio using newpipe and listened to it during a cycling trip today. Lots of “oh wow” moments for me even in the first 30 minutes.

• The age of onset should not need to be below 12: it just needs to happen during development, typically up to 24 yo. For me the onset was just after 12, between 13-16, with a significant worsening when my environment changed around 20.
• half of the people with ADHD had an onset of symptoms after 12 yo (how did they measure this?)
• recollectiona from childhood are very unreliable. Recollections from parents too.

Thanks for your insight!

None regularly. Only when it gets really busy in my head and I really have trouble focusing, I take a really strong coffee, which reasonably often calms me and helps to focus.

I only do it when nothing else (exercise, outdoors walk, sugar) works and only if it is really really bad, so once per 1 or 2 weeks. If I were to drink coffee every 2 or 3 days it would probably stop working.

Thank you for your help!

I relate to a lot of what you say, have also been doing exercise and meditation with mixed results. I tried CBT a few times, filled out schemas and all that, but the logical arguments and affirmations that should help me let go of the negative thoughts seemed pointless in the moment when it went south. I guess persistence is key. Sticking with something is hard, but this does seem like it is really worth it. I am going to have another talk with a psychologist to see what can be done to help me and will definitely bring this!

There’s a lot of videos, some 2 to 3 hours long. Could you link one that is relevant to your intention?

She has ADD herself apparently. There’s so many comical mistakes that the whole clinic made that I could fill a few sketches.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for your support! It is helping me more than you know, I really needed it. I am feeling better already, will try to go to sleep now. Thanks again for your time!!

And also, I am so so proud of you for how you got through this all ❤️

Thank you for your support! It sounds plausible but I find it hard to self-diagnose and go against the science and impartial judgement. I am skeptical of claims of disorders and diseases that are not scientifically verified, and should hold myself to those same standards, at a minimum.

Maybe you’re right though. Until then, todoist, pomodoro and the occasional super strong coffee will have to keep me on track.

Again, really appreciate you taking your time to reply. It helps me more than you know ❤️

Thank you for your support! I will use the anger and frustration to do more good. Love that vibe! I will do some more organizing work for the effective altruism club. I hate injustice and I will gladly and proudly be an inconvenience if it saves a few children from malaria. Or animals from suffering.

Loving myself is much harder.

I’ve always thought I don’t have ADHD because I love learning new things and didn’t have problems in school. I was lucky enough to like most subjects. For the few I didn’t like, such as geography and economics, I got OK grades if I just briefly skimmed the textbook before the exam. More recently, the fact that sticking with a topic is hard, that I simply could not concentrate at all on a live video instruction that I was supposed to do with my colleagues (it just went too slowly) and that I keep “overtalking” even when I know people are not interested, started to add up. Also household chores. Really realy difficult, much worse than actually difficult problems such as physics or debugging.

Exactly! I use neovim as a full IDE (got started quickly using the nvchad template). And I think you know which “at least meat-reduced” diet is most associated with evangelizing ;)

Points for the editor, but weirdly enough, not a lot of coffee (<1 per day) and I didn’t drink coffee at all before a few weeks ago.

I use Linux (one that’s based on Arch btw) Make one guess at:

• my diet
• what I think is the best text editor

Seriously, how am I supposed to keep quiet when I find a clearly superior choice? Especially when most people feel a psychological barrier to trying it, that turns out to be not nearly as big as the adcantages.
