Well, I don’t really have any skin in this game, so either term works well enough for me.

That being said, if the phrase is coming from that Wharton paper, note that it appears they are trying to extend the “Thinking Fast and Slow” model of Systems 1 and 2 to include a System 3. So take that as you will. OFC it goes without saying that this model is beloved by our dear, dear, ever-increasingly incorrect friends

The guy admits that those tweets are his in the thread. The influence is not substantial to the problem here

also, how do we know that they meant to be bigoted when they typed those words in that order? Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? That’s what you sound like

I’ve been seeing some new terms pop up around AI use, namely “cognitive surrender,” and also “cognitive offloading”. I’m not in the mood for the full etymology dive, so the source I’m stopping at on the provenance would be a paper from Wharton. The meanings are pretty intuitive, at least based on how I’ve seen them used. Offloading would be when you delegate some of your thinking to something else, and surrender would be complete offloading.

I am not under the impression that people here haven’t seen these phrases before. “cognitive surrender” has been mentioned, as far as I can tell, only one time on this instance. So just thought I’d bring it up.

Truly a stub for the ages: REK holds robot vs. human cage match.

it’s slop

Chicken little ass motherfuckers thinking the sky is falling when it’s just rain

4 epsteinillion is what the next stately EA manor will cost

well you see they are compelled to work on increasing AI’s capabilities because of this one thought experiment that they came up with a while back

Do you just go around showing your whole ass everywhere

the AGI is making the diamandingo bacteria!!! P(doom) just went up 4 epistillion percent

Just another centrist taking the long way around to fascism

That would be like if Pyrrhus of Epirus cut off Peter’s nose to spite Paul

Omfg, parachuting in here to say that going out of one’s way to shit talk luddites is like saying protests are bad because of vandalism or property damage etc. Fuck this guy

Hey, why not both

Seeing as we never explicitly litigated what happened and mostly just trolled the guy: I mean it would be one thing if the guy came in and made a joke about it sharing the name with another, unrelated movie. Like, ok, sure, whatever. But guy came in specifically criticising the title of a documentary. And acting like the movie was the sole owner of the title, which as was pointed out, was almost definitely taken from the name of a thought experiment. Things get named after other things all the time! It’s fine!

Like imagine this was an instance discussing sports and doping. And Gerard posted about the documentary “Icarus” being released on youtube. Then guy comes along getting pissed and confused that the documentary shares the name with “Icarus”, the seventh episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Guy should just get banned for being off topic. Instead we trolled him for entertainment.

Anyway no further responses from me, don’t really know why you’re going to bat for this guy, people have been banned for less

If I had the time and interest I’d look at their literature but unfortunately I lack both. Filing this under: probably a grift
