To be over-wise is to ossify; and the scruple-monger ends by standing stock-still.

I wonder if chains-of-thought I'm getting from these so-called reasoning AI's when I give them challenging combinatorics puzzles are exhibiting the characteristic #overthinking described in this recent publication

12:53 AM, brain wired from staring at a screen too long, not wanting the day to end because it feels like I haven’t done enough. I feel it in my bones—no part of me wants to sleep, 'cause “I’m not ready yet!” #LateNightThoughts #Overthinking @frankie
The phrase "stop overthinking" is a thought-terminating cliché (i.e., a thought-stopper), expecially when said by those who spend their existence constantly underthinking. How about stop underthinking, and start thinking.
I worry about my job and finances.
Even though everything is under control.
That’s the problem with overthinking—it doesn’t care about logic.
Following on from yesterday's post, in the evening the tradesperson returned to the house next door. Our kitchens face each other and there is only a low fence between them. When I was doing the dishes, I looked up and we momentarily locked eyes
I didn't want to close the blinds, as he may have taken offence (according to my warped mind), so I finished the washing up with my head down for the entire time. I simply could not risk making eye contact again!
Today's example of overthinking occurred when a tradesperson who is working on the house next door was sat in his van outside my house. Illogically, his presence stopped me from charging my phone (the socket is near the window) and from bringing the bins back in. This was because I didn't want him to think that I was spying on him (I wasn't!).
I would say that this made me a prisoner in my own home, but it was more of a case of being imprisoned by my own mind...again
Was thinking about writing an essay on overthinking ...what do you think about the idea ?? Should we disregard it or take its importance seriously, do we miss out by not doing so, or do we waste our time & energy engaged in it ??
Is overthinking good, bad, or is maybe overthinking actually goldilocks ??
I think I may have a lot to say about the topic of #overthinking & lengthily it is not clear-cut or even very simplistic - & what's more I have a lot to think over about it before I even begin...
Hoping for a good day at work today, and then maybe I can figure out what I'm doing with my life
I don't even want to be invited!
I still want to be invited tho xox #overthinking #introvert #socialanxiety #holidayswithyoutube

Feeling I've been fediversing a bit wrong by not boosting enough. Now hesitating to boost at all as since it feels more significant given the rarity .
Going to try to raise my rate of boosting in future from "nearly never" to "low". Noting it's possible to hide boosts if it gets too much . Boosting does not imply endorsement.
This announcement does not affect my policy on starring of cat pictures. I am compelled to star them, especially if they have alt text. #overthinking
Spinal Tap's backstory obviously draws inspiration from a lot of bands, but I always thought the particular arc they followed drew a lot from the Kinks. The big difference being that the Kinks had one of the greatest songwriters rock ever produced, but there are other parallels.
#AI #Hallucination or #Overthinking? How many vowels are in Alabama?
