I might be anhedonic because I’ve been using methylphenidate for ADHD since 1992, but I’ve always been somewhat anhedonic. To paraphrase Maria Bamford “Some people really love life. I’ve always been on the fence.” The question “what do you do for fun” has always been a bit difficult for me.

Of course it’s also hard to find pleasure in many things if you can’t stay with them long enough for the pleasure to really develop.

My general assumption is that ADHD is both underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed but I’m generally chill about it and not a gatekeeper. But the recent shortages and delays have me a little more on edge about it.

I guess we’re going to find out just how committed they are to taking the trash when they leave.

They’ve been playing the long game. It’s all been building up to this.

The thing about AI designing and building robots is that making physical things is vastly more expensive than pooping out six-fingered portrait jpegs. All that trial-and-error learning would not come cheap. Even if the AI were controlling CNC machining centers.

There’s no guarantee that the AI would have access to enough parts and materials to be able to be trained to a level of sufficient competence.

Someone please set up a “GrimesHouseboatAI” account with appropriate tweets, sort of Marvin the Android if he were stuck in a Minneapolis impound yard for 15 years, and also dumb.
