This MIT study suggests to me that the race for AI is one against time. If it's accurate (This was a small sample with a larger study in the works.) the people using Ai (presumably including those working to build AI for Microsoft, Meta, etc.) are undergoing rapidly deteriorating brain function.
This also puts into question plans to use AI in schools.

The USA mainstream media won't even touch this subject, much less be up front and straightforward about it - but the UK press seems less afraid.

Trump's going downhill mentally, faster than almost anyone has heard, unless they're listening to media outside the US mainstream. Worth a read:

MIT recently completed the first brain-scan study on ChatGPT users—and the results are deeply revealing.
Rather than boosting brain function, prolonged AI use may be dulling it.
Over four months of cognitive data suggest we might be measuring productivity all wrong

Meanwhile... some Déjà vu all over again...

Some things never do change.

Sir #TrumpVirus remains someone with bottomless cluelessness & immorality, who seems to truly hate America - as well as everyone and everything which isn't rolling over to pay tribute and polish that terrific 'ego' of his.

Seems that terrific bod of his refuses to stay off the screen... even before #AI

Cognitive overload is a silent threat. It affects attention span, memory recall, decision-making, and task execution. When people are juggling too much information, when their workflows are fragmented, or when alerts are constant and overwhelming, they make mistakes. Not because they’re...

Brain health and performance optimization are emerging as the next frontier, similar to how cardiac care transformed in the previous century. Let us call it the ‘cognitive economy,’ one that involves tools, treatments, and technologies for brain enhancement. It is just beginning.

This revolution is giving rise to a new, multi-trillion-dollar "cognitive economy"—an ecosystem of science, technology, and services dedicated to understanding, preserving, and enhancing the human brain.

The fact is, we are witnessing a demographic tsunami with a profound demographic shift underway, creating an unprecedented challenge and opportunity for global health. How big a challenge?

The global population aged 60 and over will double from 1.1 billion today to 2.1 billion by 2050.

The number of persons aged 80 or older will triple between 2020 and 2050.

By 2050, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 will live in low- and middle-income countries.

What does this lead to? Massive challenge - neurological conditions are now the leading cause of ill health and disability globally, affecting an astonishing 3.4 billion people, or 43% of the world's population.

The thing is, the speed with which this challenge is going to accelerate is staggering:

2021: 57 million people living with dementia worldwide.

2030: Projected to reach 78 million cases globally.

2050: Expected to reach 139 million cases, with 71% of the burden in LMICs.

The financial impact of dementia is immense and projected to grow exponentially. If global dementia care were a country, its economy would rank as the 14th largest in the world, larger than the market values of companies like Apple and Google.

With these harsh realities, it's long been a goal of many in healthcare to "do for brain science this century what we did for heart health in the last century."

Although in the case of Sir #TrumpVirus, it's not just grandiosity combined with stupidity (and rage) but a whole lot of #cognitive & #psychopathology issues.

Seeing a few references to the dynamic of the stupidest being most wedded to the stupid, having no "mindfulness" or thinking skills to be aware (or care).

FWIW, one of the best , very short & sweet explanations of #DunningKruger comes from John Cleese, in one minute flat:

Ya think?

Could there possibly be something going on in the realm of our Emperor #TrumpVirus & his terrific #cognitive clothes?

It's not enough to sing to the choir. Anyone with open eyes, ears, and thinking can see a demented buffoon performing for an admiring audience of enablers... For them maybe he's totally normal.
#NOTNormal

My only quibble: The headline is misleading.

#Truth

Time and time again...

It's either those #BrainSpurs acting up bigly, or just more of the #cognitive clothes that Emperor #TrumpVIrus wears before his admiring #cult of "I didn't see anything" believers + #disinformation #media

A tragic day as America plows into the iceberg and self-destructs, applauded by the #GQP #cult who did not even read the Big Bill of Goods (really, "Bads", in classic DJT #Doublespeak), destroying institutions of peace, health, education, & betterment of We the People.

Meanwhile, from my day-job life in #psychology / #cognitive science

Wow! Something I wrote long ago, off the cuff, really, has now been AI-reviewed!

Review of "A Perspective on Childhood and Adolescence: On the Roles of Focus, Learning, and Social Imperative" https://www.academia.edu/ai_review/127554891

This was something I quickly put together in response - years ago - to a request for commentary on the subject.

I think AI liked it.

Thin-sliced - Focus/attention/processing are good things! Endangered.

Behold the Crazy #Cognitive Decline.
