Thank you for creating inter-faith content!

The world is really just a whole bunch of individuals. So whenever one of us has these moments of reflection that lead us away from hatred, that is an example of the world healing :)

We can’t really draw any bigger conclusions based on this information, like if across the world more people are going one way or the other.

But the average global trend doesn’t need to be encouraging for us to be encouraging. On our little level, in our local community, with the people who see us and hear us in our daily lives - we can keep pushing for more positivity and healing right here.

Even just sharing this story of your acquaintance making progress is encouraging, so thank you!

Thank you for keeping things in perspective!

Pulling my hands away really quickly so all the cupped water falls all at once and makes a huge splash 😌😌😌

I’m sorry, you literally openly praised Scam Altman’s product as a massively superior option to web searching yes? Highly nuanced, saves you a ton of time, remember? And your response to the most obvious flaw with this use case is to deny you are affected by the problem in any way and to deflect the topic onto my attitude?

You genuinely remind me of my late uncle who snapped at us every time we told him to quit smoking. He was so convinced it wouldn’t catch up to him, had a hundred justifications. I’ll never forget the way his young daughter cried at the funeral. And before you and your “AI enhanced workflow” get into a whole thing about how cigarettes are different from computer programs, I’m not calling ChatGPT a Marlborough Red, I’m calling you bull headed. I could have just said as much, but as you’ve noticed, I like my fluff.

Anyway, I love how on the one point you addressed, your actual argument shifts from “it’s incredibly beneficial” to “it’s merely an insignificant fraction of my workflow!” Like, notice how your literal first instinct isn’t to defend the usefulness of chatgpt in this instance but to defend the integrity of your French by assuring me you are using legitimate sources as well.

This is the same pattern all AI victims I’ve spoken with have fallen into. It begins with “oh it saves me so much time it’s so useful!” Then as we interrogate how it’s useful to them it turns out all it does is waste their time with a bunch of bullshit they need to verify when they could have just gone directly to the source they use to verify in the first place.

That is if they even bother to verify, btw. But I honestly don’t know which direction is worse. A huge issue is the ones who “verify” are then always completely convinced that they have verified everything correctly. You can imagine the dangers of this mentality

Okay so this time it’s “I like to fuck around with irrelevant sports statistics and I’m really excited to eventually humiliate myself the first time I try my French with a native speaker”

Listen. Thanks for sharing. I genuinely mean that btw I’m aware I’m being abrasive but you’re putting out your perspective in good faith and I appreciate that. That being said I obviously strongly disagree with any of what you’ve listed being a “benefit”, and I especially caution you against considering SlopGPT to be a “nuanced” source of information for your search queries.

There is a difference between believing you have benefitted and actually benefitting. It’s astonishing to me that you would be concerned about the capitalists yet trust them so adamantly in this moment to manage your very relationship with information. Regardless, I hope you have a happy and safe new year. Cheers

Doesn’t matter as long as you have faith in the water! Douse away!

Yeah we’re 3 years past where the scam artists claimed this shit will have already evolved out of its early stages. It ain’t happening.

It takes no effort at all to understand the ins and outs btw. It’s “accurate” for the most abundantly well documented problems you used to solve in half the time by just copy/pasting from stack overflow. The rest of the time it contradicts the advice your mom’s doctor gave her. Sooooo useful wow. But sure shoot your shot, I’d love to hear about how you used it to build a grocery list app or whatever you’re so excited about

To be fair that part actually makes perfect sense, water should beat fire

Thank you for inviting me to scan what is most likely a harmless link to your excellent merch shop!

every time I see people(?) crowing about how amazing AI is

You’re correct that there’s a massive flood of bots pushing it everywhere. But regardless of what the subject is, once someone has “bought in” to a scam they tend to stick with it and defend it no matter what. Because the alternative is admitting they were fooled, and that’s basically an uncrossable bridge for most folks.

People on their literal death beds were using their literal last words (before being intubated with covid) to threaten nurses not to go near them with “the jab”. So it really doesn’t surprise me that people continue using “AI” despite it being worse than worthless for literally everything

You know what’s been really holding me back from achieving my fitness goals? Not having access to a barely functional LLM that bases its training recommendations off discussions from the running circlejerk subreddit

I slam a bag of mixed frozen veggies most days, each bag has 4-6 servings. Tons of different mixes available with different plants for variety. Stir fries directly from frozen w/ a little olive oil in literally a few minutes (frozen veggies are typically blanched before freezing so they don’t really take much cooking, they’re ready to eat basically as soon as they’re warmed up). Go nuts with your favorite seasonings.

Delicious and near zero time commitment accompaniment to anything else you make for dinner. No prep work. Zero food waste ever. Dirt cheap.

I mention it because from what I see most people who attempt to to hop on the “eat a shit ton of veggies every day” grind usually feel pressured to “do things properly”, which involves fresh produce and a bunch of complicated recipes or whatever. But then trying to eat like that every day is time consuming, so they give up, and most of the veggies end up in the trash

It makes sense to me. I remember the incident, it was intriguing if nothing else. Why was this allowed to happen? And from there people just keep looking into it further

What I figured out is I don’t even need to post at all, I can just sit around imagining myself winning arguments against enemies that don’t exist. It’s like an infinite dopamine glitch. After a while I started branching out into hand-to-hand combat, and eventually full scale military conflicts in which I lead my samurai to victory by understanding “biological reality” better than the enemy generals

…you guys are real?

In the meantime it’s up to you and me to post half a million times each!!

Read a book with a cat

I consider it to have landed very well actually. Not sure how common it is for people to be seeing separate up/downvotes, but the comment is actually perfectly symmetrical with (as I’m checking now) about 50 votes both up and down. The responses I have received have also been equally split on sentiment, with several tuned in to the spirit of the joke and several taking issue with it at face value.

Humor is not just silliness, yes? It’s a way to address serious topics. So in a way it’s kind of the ideal result, sparking division and discussion on the topic. I post in this style often and had assumed this would be yet another generally well received but under the radar little post, so while I was surprised by the controversial reception, in the end I feel it was a good outcome
