if you were described as "gifted" in elementary school but also "lazy" in high school and were told you just needed to "apply yourself" there is a 99.9% chance you have ADHD

ADHD brain works really well when you're in elementary and middle school because everyone's standards for average are "can respond to questions within 30 seconds" and "can colour within the lines without eating the crayons" at that point. as soon as you have to actually put some effort in (high school) your brain doesn't work that way anymore and it's easier to just skip school and smoke fat joints behind the basketball court than it is to try to wrangle your ADHD into submission all while teachers, counsellors, and doctors go "you just need to apply yourself"

oh gently caress. do I get stims now

Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

as a person close to someone with ADHD, the effects of stims is that they are able to focus and work or study instead of collapsing from brain overload by 1 pm. also, the side effects of stims are kind of awful.

the ADHD brain is in no filter mode. everything goes in and needs to be processed. this is exhausting.

almost the saddest part of that whole story, is before they hired the idiot cosplayer there to pretend to do ai stuff, they had timnit gebru, mitchell and samy bengio doing world class research. but they asked a few questions that would have affected how they make money, so we get dipshit here instead

the purpose of those folks was not to do world class research but to help launder the bias, and when they failed to do so they were punished.

that chat bot is pretty incredible though, some of those logs where the testers asked leading questions and the bot still maintained that the user was wrong were really impressive.

wise choice

in retrospect it worked out real good, but at the time I was very sad since I liked my job as a pharmacy tech and the job of a pharmacist seemed like a step up

now I know retail hours suck and hospital pharmacy being 3x12h shifts for 30% less pay is worse
