    Imagine if an evil villain could delete all of the times in human history that an autistic person thought “why” about something seemingly unimportant WAYYY too hard?

    Fuck… would we even have shoes? Toothbrushes? Washing machines? …idk It would be a devastating attack upon humanity in terms of pure capability, technology and knowledge, that is for sure.

    I am not saying all of the important discoveries were made by autistic people, just like we all know that we have met some autistic people (wait, you ARE one of those people aren’t you!?) that are extraordinarily smart in their own way, and you can see in the people around them that they are such a powerful, clear lucid mind that they are loved and supported in their quirkiness because they move mountains (or don’t). As it goes with all minds that are different in one way or another… but certain machines and weapon systems… I just feel like… there HAS to be at least ONE autistic person behind that shit! Probably a lot of other kinds of minds too! Hopefully!

    To anyone who hasn’t met those autistic people or is unaware they have, damn I am sorry those people are incredibly fun and illuminating to talk to wtf. Not that anyone in this lemmy community would fall under that category, just making a point like I get so mad when people attack autistic people for so many reasons, but weapon systems are a big one that is hard to argue with, weapons aren’t clubs and swords these days they are fiddly, super complex electronics warfare sensor ridden monstrosities… and they NEED the people developing and using them to understand the kind of horrifyingly long manuals some autistic people eat for breakfast while humming happily to themselves.

    …and people dare to pick a fight with those people and their friends???

    "I have a great idea let’s have a moral panic about autistic people and ostracize/punish/seperate them out while denying them the care they need (established by science) AND THEN try to fight wars using shit like this…

    ???

    TL;DR People are silly









  • IT consultancy Gartner predicts that more than 40 percent of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 due to rising costs, unclear business value, or insufficient risk controls.

    That implies something like 60 percent of agentic AI projects would be retained, which is actually remarkable given that the rate of successful task completion for AI agents, as measured by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and at Salesforce, is only about 30 to 35 percent for multi-step tasks.

    To further muddy the math, Gartner contends that most of the purported agentic AI vendors offer products or services that don’t actually qualify as agentic AI.

    This is the way a consulting company breaks the awkward news to US clients that the US economy is about to absolutely tank as AI swallows up the money we desperately needed for real problems like climate change.
