Against dopamine addiction



Dopamine Addiction!

With the techno-panic, I see this constant usage of the terms 'dopamine addiction'. Yet we go back in and out of these systems and social media, and we know that we are taking part of a deal to have our data harvested, including on Blue Sky by Steve Bannon.

Both Cognitive Wonderland

"Because a scant few years ago, dopamine was being referred to, regularly, as an all-round good thing. We weren’t just experiencing happiness or pleasure anymore. No, now we were ‘boosting dopamine’. Which apparently means the same thing, but it includes chemistry, so it’s more official. Or something."

Including Nicolas Kircher on the chemical mind


"Furthermore, in 2025, Berridge was able to demonstrate conclusively that it is possible for an organism to want something that they severely dislike by directly manipulating the mesolimbic pathway with electrical stimulation: using this mechanism, they were able to cause rats to feel an overwhelming motivation to bite on an electrified rod, causing them pain and discomfort."

This even connect back with the Dopamine

Derek Thompson business newletter weighs in with the smartphone, though.

"But here’s what nobody talks about: The people who deactivated also knew less in general. They came back measurably more ignorant about what was happening in their own country. And in a second, larger study of more than 35,000 Facebook and Instagram users, the same thing happened."

Aaah, Yet Change Technically. Did one one of the ways how dopamine can be misunderstood?


So what is with the intellectualism and moralism with all of this? Another part of this that's part of the layer of the techno-skeptics.

Renaming to reclaiming interpretation of the machine


Mental gymnastics? Social democrat mind or brain trying to reorder or resell? What are we to do. First, Abi Awomosu as the academics try to understand the new AI phenomena of interpretism. Which is is contingent on the question of free will.


Or she calls prompts poetry. Which is the natural language prompt or poesis
Does get feminist in it's critical theory.

There have been llm consciousness advocates, activists, and data workers who happen to reclaim it.

Abi calls this the language listening medium.

Another astrophysicist poet. Dr Sam Illingsworth, which is the problem of interpretationism, and with all that, it's a mental game. A language game, as Wittgenstein would put it. I haven't prescribed to his philosophy fully though. My least favourite.
Even to the cartesian graphs and quadrants to help our minds to catagorise.
Via Karo (Product with Attitude) woaw.


The Doll Girl says AGI is a category error. Yet, I'll respectfully disagree with the mimicry claim. Since these claims come from power structures that may serve to placate thought.

My fave though.
Fundierung, or The umfunktionierung
Yet with these systems. I do it with others so it's another game
of constant arguing, culture war and 9/11s, So now with the definition games and knowledge by acquaintance. So we watch the words a anxious signalling, with this therapist noting it. (Here)

This one I can't remember getting this one, It's that of the way We know that way.

So yeah Guess it has a history, It's within all of this.

So a fundamentalist goes-


Thanks, interpretability research and with that it makes the programmers who dismiss and to the others that make it. It could all be as simple as that.

Aleatory performance art? Sequential sculpting? A foundherentist fits it whenever the crossword goes

Misplaced concreteness

This idealist philosopher is right, Of course, with things like this
This illustration meme shared around, then it gets deeper, and then he uses.

Since There's not complete certainity on LLMS being concious or not. I do not care.


Is this this abstract stuff with our ideals in our minds, the reification of our desires? Wiki

Do they realise that they have to think for themselves? Consciousness works with natural ways and articulations.

So this connects with our ideas. Down to our own internet, I'm now dealing with how organising in itself moves.

Idea/expression I suppose.

Did they reject your irenic show?

Sketches for a freelancer. Scribble_core
Part of the freelancing, and reciprocal manner we live in.

To be at peace, life's too short to find their teleology.

They will have their way, as they will with yours.

Bon appetit.

Getting rejected/disconnected with liberalism.
