*do not try this at home

Research like this gives me hope for people like my severely autistic son who has been missing development milestone after development milestone so a fear of mine is that he might eventually have to live in a group home once he’s strong enough to overpower us. If a treatment like this can manage symptoms enough to allow him to live independently that would be literally life changing

It’s for gut issues like crohns not anything to do with emotional regulation or communication.

Group homes are as good as their staff, interview everyone there. Visit him often. Living independently is not always for the best.

Once again, the science piles up behind my “we’re just LLMs running on the mecha suit controlled by bacteria” theory

Well neural networks (the construct LLMs use) is modelled on how neurons process information. Just in incredibly simplified form.

And I’m pretty sure most scientists agree that humans are actually a colony of many different species given how we rely on bacteria to live.

Oh, the metaphor goes further. We’re not the pilot of the suit, we’re not the hardware, we’re not the OS of the suit, we’re the AI assistant

We speak for it with the other AIs, we get called up to handle things we don’t have learned behaviors for, we analyze and provide feedback - we give advice and it feels like we’re making decisions, but we’re not

We are literally 10 times more bacteria than human cells in the human body.

“We.” Are you referring to people, or is that the bacteria self-identifying as plural?

What does a reduction in Autism “symptoms” even mean - We uninstall Arch?

It could fix certain GI issues, which either autistic people are more sensitive to or are unable to communicate.

Can confirm. Water now feels ouch-bangey, with an occasional splat-sticky mixed in.
