Doubts…

...so many doubts... ...and they don't seem to make any sense... For those that have been following my ramblings on this site for a while... You know that I have a surgery upcoming in a bit. Those folks will probably also know that I am eager to get it done with, but I am not eager for the surgery and recovery time, as those are always hard on me. I guess surgeries are never fun, and recovery is always a challenge and hard. But I was just hoping that I'd have several more years in between the last surgery and this one... But, I'm not that lucky... […]

Doubting myself

I used to be sure of myself. I either knew something, I didn't know it and tried to learn about it, or I just wasn't interested and it could not interest me in the slightest way... I used to know stuff, be curious about stuff, want to learn stuff... Sometimes, I went overboard with the gathering of knowledge, as I spent way too much time (and sometimes money) on getting my hands on more info. I learned that it was/is part of my AuDHD, getting the hyperfocus, or a special interest, that would absorb me all the way. These days, I often doubt myself. I guess getting more brain fog symptoms when I got my fibro, and now being made worse at times by the peri-menopause... Also, having been in relationships where I was often told I was wrong, I misunderstood, I just was too stupid to understand... Those things combined, I guess they just added to the increased feelings of anxiety that I have been dealing with. I never had too many issues with it, until I tried to OD, until my life was gone as I knew it... And these days, I am struggling at times... […]

Don’t doubt, just do it… 💪🏼

Hehe, yeah, sure! I'll get to that in a wink! I problem at all... Well, indeed, that used to be me, but, as I recently shared here, that's not really me anymore. Of course, some things need preparation. Some need money. Some need help. Some need a certain kind of weather. Some just need you to have the energy and motivation to do them... Which can be quite a challenge when you're chronically ill... But, I've been trying to get more things done when I can now, also because I know that lTet this year, I'll have several weeks where I'm not able/allowed to do things, due to me needing that hip surgery...

Never good enough 😢

Growing up as an undiagnosed AuDHD kid, in  time where the knowledge of Autism and ADHD was more limited than it is these days... I had to deal with many issues, some of them were focused on me not being good enough. I didn't understand things well enough, the way I saw and experienced things were always "off", my solutions (however right they were) were dismissed because I didn't follow the right way to get there... 🤔 I've never been one to be very tidy. Mum always said that if I kept it messy, then I'd lose things. But I always knew where my things were. And in my eyes it wasn't that bad... When I got older, I struggled with cleaning. It was often "good enough" for me, and I'd only make a big effort if I would get visitors. But my "ok enough" was never deemed good enough by the partners I had. However hard I tried, I always failed to meet their standards. It was never worthy of  compliment. Or even a thank you, as they all just saw it as my job to keep the home clean... […]

Goldman Sachs: AI Is Overhyped, Wildly Expensive, and Unreliable

Link
📌Summary:
Goldman Sachs, one of the largest investment banks in the world, published a research paper expressing doubts about the economic viability of generative AI. The paper notes that there is "little to show for" the huge spending on generative AI infrastructure and questions whether this spending will ever pay off in terms of AI benefits and returns. The paper suggests that AI optimism is driving large growth in stocks like Nvidia and other S&P 500 companies, but argues that the stock price gains are based on the assumption that generative AI will lead to higher productivity and efficiency. The paper also suggests that companies are acting like generative AI is going to change the world, but that the technology is currently deeply unreliable and may not change much of anything at all.

🎯Key Points:
- Goldman Sachs questions the economic viability of generative AI.
- The bank notes that there is "little to show for" the huge spending on generative AI infrastructure and wonders whether it will ever pay off.
- The paper is based on a series of interviews with Goldman Sachs economists and researchers, MIT professor Daron Acemoglu, and infrastructure experts.
- Goldman Sachs argues that AI optimism is driving large growth in stocks like Nvidia and other S&P 500 companies.
- The bank suggests that the stock price gains are based on the assumption that generative AI will lead to higher productivity and efficiency.
- The paper argues that generative AI is currently deeply unreliable and may not change much of anything at all.
- The bank expresses skepticism about both the cost of generative AI and its ultimate transformative potential.
