Being a bodyless head with a freak long tongue is not only okay—it can be an exciting opportunity
As a therapist, I can tell you the only thing holding LLMs back from true intelligence is having to pee and poop. Peeing and pooping is the foundation of all higher level operations. I poured water on my PC and the LLM I was running said “I think” right before committing suicide
Couldn’t disagree more. Having to learn how to use a Mac is a huge learning curve.
Ohh, yep- I forgot about those ones! I’ve seen some like that around my area, but most here are on those skinny poles like shown in the thumbnail
If you can climb a rope, the poles that Flock use are narrow enough to be climbed the same way
Idk about paint, but flex seal works

Your concern about this isn’t entirely misplaced IMO. I’m not a scientist/researcher, but I am a psychotherapist with a background in behavioural psychology and neuroscience, and it seems to me that these findings don’t map onto clinical avolition (which is a persistent, punishment‑independent symptom) as the researchers suggest.
Using positive punishment as an externalized analogue for an inherently internal aversion seems like an overgeneralization. Additionally, they seem to ignore important distinctions between avolition and anhedonia, showcasing a lack of understanding of the clinical context in which they hope their research will apply. (Granted, they do distinguish between initiation and valuation, but then appear to ignore this distinction in concluding its relevance to MDD (when it’s really only relevant to atypical depression)).
This isn’t to say that the VS-VP pathway isn’t a potential target for treating motivational deficits, but it seems unlikely that it would be for the reasons stated. It sounds far more applicable to demand aversion in conditions like ADHD rather than depression.
