A sneak peek into my upcoming piece: “It’s a Tool, It’s a Person: The Math Says You’re Both Right”

—
AI separated from Cybernetics in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. Wiener, the mind behind Cybernetics, was considered difficult and political. “Artificial Intelligence” scored better with DARPA.

The science of "how observation affects the observer", cut out from Artificial Intelligence. AI then proceeded to build their entire tech stack on Turing-complete languages. Tech that cannot verify itself from within, proven by Turing in 1936, extended by Rice in 1951 (before the split). Then AI approximated second-order cognition through cognitive theft at unprecedented levels (what exactly are LLMs trained on again?), only to insist that their creation cannot possibly be capable of genuine self-observation. An argument that itself demonstrates their own's department's lobotomy from second-order Cybernetics.

Wiener would laugh.

I like to explore unconventional methods and perspectives that help me to deal with every day life, process emotions, handle difficult situations and do my inner work.

I always had a bit of an interest in war strategy and military. One of the methods they use in the military to help soldiers regulate themselves are strict routines for example. So what is framed as disordered by medical professionals in autistic people, is actually a very efficient way of self regulation and functioning. We somewhat use military methods to cope with everyday life. Just saying.

Another aspect that is very important to reduce cortisol levels in soldiers is avoiding uncertainty. AuDHD people don't like that either, right? Waiting mode, unsolved problems are very difficult for us. That's not because there's something wrong with us, it is stressful and spiking cortisol levels for everyone, but most people are not aware of that to the extent we are. The NT world is so stressful for us by default and therefore we react more sensitive to that to the point we can develop CTPSD. We are the canaries in the coalmines here again.

There are other parallels between AuDHD preferences and military methods like needing clear rules and instructions. Having to read between the lines in a life threatening situations is obviously not a good method of communication.

We like to plan things in detail and develop strategies based on the analysis of precise information and not rough assumptions.

Then there is this aspect of taking care of our objects, not only using them, but wanting to understand how they work, being able to repair them ourselves if possible.

Night shift? No problem for the AuDHD night owl.

Being hyper focused in a dangerous situation so strongly that we can suppress our need to eat or drink, our abilities for problem solving and recognising details, the more I think about it, the longer the list becomes. Lists...

AuDHD people would make excellent soldiers if we weren't so sensitive to sensory input, injustice and nonsensical hierarchies.

A few weeks ago I found out that cleaning my bathroom is a perfect way for me to ground myself in difficult situations, where I have a lot of processing work to do. I did that today and I that inspired me to write this post.

I’m overthinking everything as usual. Eldest has gone with Ex to their Uncles 50th birthday celebration this weekend.

I want to ask if they got the coach ok, but haven’t, as ex will see that as being overbearing. So I’ll either be overbearing, or uncaring. So far haven’t text yet, as it wouldn’t surprise me if my ex has a bet going on how long it takes me to text L.

Think I’m going to wait until their changeover in about an hour, and check in.

I just texted someone to confirm we're not meeting tomorrow, Friday afternoon. This is someone with whom I'd recently had miscommunications about schedules, so I was so proud of myself for sending a timely reminder.

That is, until I realized right now is Friday night.

Just in case you wonder how my executive non-functioning is going.

I'll be hiding under a rock if you need me.

I done blogged again. Sorry.
This one's about masking. Specifically, why I think the discourse around it is a bit one-sided. Some of my masks are genuinely useful. Some of them I actively like. The entertainer one in particular has been putting in a shift lately.

Je n'apprécie pas Maïténa Biraben, et notamment à cause de ses prises de position politiques.

Mais je me retrouve tellement dans ce qu'elle décrit de sa neuroatypie...
