I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

>>229406Software was only good when it was dominantly cooperatively written by socially-capable White men in offices being payed good money to ship stable products. Software has suffered immensely ever since loner self-diagnosed "autists" took over and traded usability for "free as in freedom", and stability for "it works on Arch too".

>>229407They were never normies. The OG coders were just well-adjusted high functioning autists like Larry Wall, Linus Torvalds, Tim Paterson and of course Richard Stallman.
They are all neurodivergent but at the end of the scale where they can still function socially and have families and kids.
That kind of programmer rapidly got replaced by medium functioning autists who hyperfocus on a programming language but have zero social skills, stink due to not showering since last christmas, never have families and have no broader understanding of good user experience.
Why? Because before Claude and tokenized AI, they were objectively better and faster at it. That's all shareholders care about.
Terry Davis was arguably the most talented programmer to ever grace this planet but he was a plethora of other things beside an autist (that too), like a severe schizophreniac.

>>229409>well-adjusted high functioning autists Oh boy, here we go again. If someone is "High functioning" and socially well-adjusted, then what remains of their supposed autism?
