Resource competition.

Fighting robot drones for water, agriculture land (solar cells) is plausible

ai would not have incentive to go full terminator. But in a way literal starvation might be worse.


Not onset, that makes no sense.

Environment makes certain traits visible - eg noise and smell sensory issues, even social settings. Put me in a forest and i will be indistinguishable from a neuro-prevalent - no social pressure, no noise, no smells. Actually the neuro-prevalent might be suffering for the lack of those i suppose


Schizophrenia is known to have genetic factors that can increase its likelihood, but is also linked to environmental factors like cannabis use and stress. The group without the environmental factors has a lower incidence of schizophrenia, so it's generally believed that the onset of schizophrenia is triggered by them.

Male homosexuality is believed to have a small genetic component but is also linked to birth order. One theory is that in utero testosterone from older brothers can affect the sexuality of a younger brother.

I disagree that it makes no sense for environmental factors to lead to the onset of autism, on the basis that environmental factors can make someone gay or schizophrenic. That is to say, they can influence a personality and a mind in complicated ways that don't seem intuitive.


Well how do you detect autism if it’s traits never show?

It’s a bit loke saying fish don’t develop aquism unless they are facing non-acquatic environment. Kinda crude comparison but you get then idea.


If you have 100k people who don't smoke cannabis and 100k who do, 1000 of the non-smokers and 1400 of the smokers will have schizophrenia.

How do you detect schizophrenia in the 400 people in the non-smoker category? The answer is that you can't. They don't have schizophrenia. This is what it means for something to have an environmental trigger.

I get that you're making a point about ableism and environment, but in order to do so you're confusing two things: the onset of autism (at a very early age or even before birth and triggered by who knows what), and the occurrence of any specific symptom of autism (at any age and triggered by things we generally understand).


I am pretty sure neuro prevalent type is the disruptive one

Async await is a glorious fucking event loop which obscures the primitive, crude simplicity to something unrecognizable which most developers think does something it absolutely doesn't.

it could be sth along the lines of:

on(x=foo()){ //land here when x is computed } catch{ //sth got wrong with foo }

Visual basic was superior to async/await crap. Not even joking.


i know at least one eu country which ruled processing PII this way is not permitted without consent.

Yeap, probably EU's gonna be a different game for Apple Watch 12.

bigstrat2003 can’t even figure out basic things. They can’t program well despite putting years of life into that effort. I'm not worried they will suddenly develop intelligence out of nowhere.

See, I, too, can write meaningless prose.


AI expert != Expert on impact of introduction of unprecedented non-biological intelligence in a biological ecosystem.

I think you meant the 2nd and yes, we are all about to get a dose of “expertise” in the field.


“Experts” on _what_ exactly? What fucking field of study makes you an “expert” in a never seen before scenario?

So what? it’s not like they can outcompete AI

Whoever controls violence controls the world, as simple as that.
