They knew what I meant and chose to ignore the meaning to avoid the question.

So when a kid commits suicide because the Generative AI LLM agreed with him in a harmful way?

Edit: In before someone says something about how the gun manufacturers still shouldn’t be held accountable.

Gen AI LLM’s in this instance are products working as intended/designed, and are being used in a way that the manufacturer knows is harmful and admits is damaging. They also admit that there are no laws to safeguard persons against how the AI is designed, implemented etc and these things don’t even have warning labels.

Guns by contrast have lots of laws involving how and where they can be sold and accessed, as well as by whom, and with respect to informing the user of the dangers. You don’t sign a EULA or a TOS when you buy a gun, waiving your rights to sue. You don’t agree to only arbitration.

My sister (who also has ADHD and has only been diagnosed for about 2 years now), sent me this. She thinks it may help, but your mileage may vary greatly.

Emotional damage goes both ways.

Can you tell us about your symptoms?

Are you officially diagnosed?

Do you live in a place with protections for persons with a Neurodivergent Disability?

Does your employer know you have ADHD, and, if so, are there any accomodations they can provide for you that would help?

Have you tried caffeine or energy drinks?

As I would expect of an Odin.

I gazed. It was a good time. 15/10 floof.

So long as you download and install a compromised app first.

Dubbed “Pixnapping,” this attack vector begins when a victim unknowingly installs a malicious mobile application on their Android smartphone. -Pixnapping could be used to steal private data, including 2FA codes. -Side-channel attack abuses Google Android APIs to steal data on display. -Flaw is partially patched, although a more complete fix is due in December.

“The fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. This is called " Ego Involvement” - when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. It’s not because you don’t care, or are lazy, but because you care too much.

To overhaul this thought process and it’s resultant consequences on your life, it’s important to recognize that this is what’s happening, and to detach your self worth from everyday tasks/work that needs to be done.

This is part of the reason that doing for others when you can’t do for yourself works.

It also sort of explains why body doubling works for some. It adds an outside pressure we care more about, and demotes the self worth aspect we place on whatever task needs to be done.

This does not mean that you’ll be able to use the coping mechanisms of others to achieve your goal though, sometimes getting proper medical care and mental health care is what allows you to develope coping mechanisms that work for you.

Annoyance at others motivates me. If I put a dish in the sink? That’s fine. The only person I can be mad at is me and my self worth is attached to it, but that’s a problem for later me. If my husband puts a plate in the sink? I’m annoyed, both at him and at the fact that there’s clutter and I’m more motivated to deal with it before it becomes a stack of plates etc.

This is a coping mechanism I have that doesn’t necessarily work for other people. Maybe they don’t live with someone else. Maybe they have a different dynamic and relationship with the people they do live with. But it works for us.

Another of my coping mechanisms is lists, and I have lists for everything. But I separate the lists into categories. This helps me break things down so I don’t become overwhelmed.

I know for a fact that this absolutely does not work for a lot of people I have known with ADHD.

As I have gotten older I have cared less and less about what people think. Somehow this includes myself. Who am I? Why should my thoughts and feelings be any more or less valid than some random person on the street who I not only wouldn’t take advice from, but also might tell where to stick it if I felt judged by them in specific circumstances?

That’s not really something that you can implement necessarily using strategy. And it’s probably not something that happens to everyone, certainly not to the same degree.

Sometimes for me it’s as simple as recognizing that I do need help and then the problem becomes asking for help or being honest about needing it. I loathe asking for help. It feels like failure to me. In the right circumstances that’s enough to motivate me to do it myself. The anxiety of having to ask for help is worse than the lost feeling of missing executive function.

I don’t know how to explain how to do that for another person. I spent 40 years developing a haphazard and cobbled together house of random coping mechanisms that work for me and I’m not sure how another person would implement them.

But I will say that what you describe does sound like a disorder with your executive function and not laziness. And I will say that ADHD is not the only Neurodivergent condition that has executive dysfunction.

Because that is the case it may be beneficial to you to get a second opinion not just about the ADHD but about just having executive dysfunction and the likely cause given your medical and psychological background.

Damn. Allegedly they hacked this nursery group, stole a bunch of PII including photos of children which they then posted to the dark web, while calling said children’s parents in order to blackmail the nursery group for Bitcoin.

Teenagers. This is nuts.

Something that was already known. It’s one of the reasons the privacy community online are so against using any old VPN you can find, and urge known good paid options.

I don’t work in a programming field but this explains a lot about why I went through and redesigned the intake forms at my old job to be mostly check boxes, and why I hate the way accessory instructions are laid out. If it has no words but just pictures? No thanks. If it has all words and no pictures? No thanks. If it doesn’t lay out the installation in a way that makes step by step sense from start to finish? No thanks. Double back to this step or that step? Nah. I’m good.

There’s an image of a guy with a cutaway into his brain and his brain is just a ball of different highways with cars zooming along at all different speeds in all different directions. I can’t find this image right now but that’s it. That’s my ADHD brain. And there’s music playing.

The image below is the closest I could find.

Technically, the other fob shouldn’t be affected if it works the way I think it does. There’s usually a maximum number of keys synced to the vehicle.

This attack basically forces the key fob the flipper zero is substituting itself for to fall out of sync because the flipper zero doesn’t transmit the rollover response from the vehicle back to the key fob. So the F0 sends the rolling code it intercepted from the key fob to the vehicle. Vehicle is like, yep, that’s matches, and then it does it’s rollover and sends out the rollover response. The response doesn’t get back to the key because of range etc and then the key remains a step behind the vehicle in the rollover sequence from then on out.

Technically I think they the key could potentially be resynced to the car. (My understanding is that a key of the correct type could be synced to any car that it can be programmed for so long as the key isn’t physically damaged, and the security module isn’t compromised with malicious code that would prevent it).

You:

A. sought another third party out to verify your view of the situation (not including the people in this forum).

B. have stated that you always end up feeling like the jerk in these interactions because they make you feel like you’re the one who did something wrong by “starting an argument with them when they agree with you”.

C. made a post asking for the input of people who don’t know you, or this other person and don’t have the intimate details of the situation to get our take on what is happening .

There seems to be an assumption here that gaslighting must be a deliberate act where the person doing it is aware of exactly what they are doing and why. That’s not really how it works though. There’s two parts to gaslighting and they’re pretty simple. The person who is doing it is trying to change the other person’s view of reality and somehow that change results in a payoff of some kind for that person.

However I am willing to admit that there is the potential for something else to be going on here and several other people have brought up alternative POV’s that may be more relevant to your situation.

You start a conversation by arguing. Once it becomes clear that your argument is not the winning argument you change your tune and act like it was not in fact your argument so you don’t feel like you’ve lost.

This is literally you deliberately manipulating the situation in order to affect the other person’s view of reality. That’s the definition of gaslighting.

Edit: Just wanted to make it clear that when I say “you” I don’t mean you, op. Just my way of phrasing the hypothetical.

Gaslighting?

They don’t have friends but what they do have is strategic alliances with other nations to share data and this detrimentally affects those nations too. So there’s that.

I have a set of Loops and a set of off brand Loop-like ear plugs from Amazon called Curvd. I’m not a super big fan of the ear fins in the Curvd but they’re somewhat cheaper than the Loops. They come with a carry case and you can buy lanyards for them. If I’m honest though I prefer the loops.
