I thought it was a poor headline, we rewire tasks, offload down to the lower minds after both repetition and pruning of the task, ready to escalate to conscious regard instantly should any wrinkle deviate from the pruned model. You reach for the next widget on the assembly line and it's a circle, not a triangle like the last million, whatever the humorous response it's precluded by pause and ponder.

The closest we get to multitasking with the upper brain is toggling back and forth, hotswaps, delayed tasking, staggered handling. Throw around "true multitasking" when your subjects can read a series of numbers out loud while writing another (a second set someone is announcing, same tone tempo volume etc)

Which might be possible after drilling it for hundreds or thousands of hours, but because those noisy numbering actions are finally passed to a new dedicated chip/firmware, not a new parallel threading. The task became less than a task.

Shouldn't have to, the act has very little judgement involved and the lower brains are still able to do a smidge, if it was done routinely it still should be. If.

You're genuinely going to have "I need to pick up milk" fall through the cracks though. Autopilot will take you straight home after work, not make the conscious decision to deviate on the necessary avenue or freeway exit. Soon you'll be saying Oops in the driveway.

Gamers playing against harder but routine fights (soulslikes) have frequently reported sudden success after a night of sleep, likely when data gets reorganized and drilled tasks can be burned into muscle memory. The change is a bit similar to real martial artists, their body can then react autonomously to repetitive threats (it's a video game there's only a few moves, rigorously unvaried) allowing the upper mind to more freely ponder less regular movements, or make meta "three moves ahead" decisions about positioning or items or stat bars or whatever. Eventually the whole encounter is overly familiar and it becomes a flowchart of rote responses.

Did someone say obligatory XKCD

Yeah, a double-edged sword, reminds me of that study a few years back tracing the trends of some certain gene back to the black plague. The variant afforded some resistance and slightly increased survival rates to the plague, but modern inheritors also have a slightly increased rate of autoimmune complications. Evolution filters for it as "more fit" when conditions change, but normally wouldn't have.

Still, the filter is usually most obsessed with calories, like niece post says. It's odd to see bread traded out. Agriculture is somewhat new but so is milk husbandry and we evolved digestion towards that.

Some answering systems used to have this, yelling swears during the hold music would get you a human sooner

"Fully blocked" would be GP's overstatement, I imagine a country will be satisfied so long as they're all tracked and have easily-demanded logs.

"Please stop calling it the X-Bone."

I suppose corporate devs are just concerned with checking off "deliverables" or whatever their managers or suits oblige (checkboxes of some quota or evaluation, several hops away from reality) and indulge in the ol' Runs Fine On My Computer while rogue devs hear directly from the actual dogfood eaters.

I think compelled warnings do require some deliberation, I won't weigh in on the formal rulings but I do want to point out how the headline's informal statement also reads:

"Social media addiction is a lie."

Looks puffy to me.

Kinda, more like opening the barn door. It's things others had wanted to get away with all along, and it becomes open season once the trendy guy does it.

So yeah, more or less the same as infection when observed. Switching the direction of scroll wheels (around when ipads came out...) was copied too, but more of a "the masses are on phones now" shift.

I mean, they're ink and paper, you don't get much closer to literal currency printing.

A century ago we learned how to legally lie:

I dunno, then we might end up with bots recommending people eat rocks and glue pepperoni in place.
