It makes a lot of sense. Lying and manipulation are done specifically to achieve goals. A defining characteristic of morals is that you're supposed to follow them even if it's neutral or disadvantageous for you. If someone follows "morals" to achieve a personal goal, they're not actually following morals, they're just acting in a way that incidentally looks moral.

Damn, she's grown quickly!

Yes, I modified a copy pasta to make it fit the context. It's not new though, just a bit unknown.

I'm active in this guys' matrix group for sigma males. I love it there as an eccentric, dominant and mysterious introvert. I’ve been described as an alpha a few times (even by my wife) but I never felt 100% comfortable with the term. The big difference is that I’m a loner in my free time. Some of my biggest hobbies are reading, listening to podcasts and audiobooks. Constantly learning and improving.

I don’t care about socializing with people after work etc. I always have conflicts with alphas (who underestimate or feel threatened by me) and I MUST shut them down and put them in their places. I get a great sense of satisfaction from this. Lol But it’s also exhausting and takes the fun out of socializing. Kind of like swatting gnats. I’d rather contemplate the universe or human consciousness.

A lot of alphas seem insecure and have a constant need for constant validation which I find incredibly weak and pathetic.

At work I’m all business and I want to lead and take control of everything. However, I am good at playing the supporting role and being a team player. I always want to help people maximize their potential and brighten their day with humor. Women seem to love me even though I don’t put any effort into it. I’m just 100% real, humorous and of course mysterious!

Enough self absorbed bullshit. (My ego takes over at times)

I don’t know many other guys exactly like myself. I’m excited to compare notes with you all. Whereas alphas seem to compete against each other(often in the form of pissing contests), we sigmas seem to be kindred spirits. Even though we are lone wolves, it’s good to sometimes feel like we aren’t alone. Cheers mates.

I think we should start by not following this marketing speak. The sentence "AI isn't intelligent" makes no sense. What we mean is "LLMs aren't intelligent".

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Why?

I want to watch more Elfenlied, but I doubt it's gonna happen. Maybe I should just read the Manga.

There are rumors about a spiritual successor to SEL named Despera.

I agree that reddit sucks but why do you think it's not anime friendly?

It's not pretty, but you can print one in a single line of python:

print(*["".join("  " if i & j else "MM" for j in range(64)) for i in range(64)], sep="\n")

There's this Norwegian metal band called Kvelertak and I absolutely love their sound, but have no idea what the lyrics are about as I don't speak the language.

I think your fundamental misunderstanding is how many people just scroll, lurk and at most comment. Let's call those passive users. They are many and therefore worth catering to. Reddit, especially the big subreddits, are engagement generators. Their point is not to answer the questions that you as an individual might have. Their point is to maximize engagement. Providing the kind of content that keeps thousands of passive users engaged in the app has more monetary value than letting you as an individual post your personal question. So it's geared towards letting users with a solid track record of creating engagement post easily, while being careful with users who don't have that track record.

You can see this in supermarkets too. Hundred different types of sweets but if I simply want nuts roasted without oil, I'm out of luck? Why? Because there's orders of magnitude more people who will buy stuff without reading the ingredients. The people who care about not having oil added to their nuts are so relatively few that they're not worth catering to by a mass-appealing supermarket.

At least those are my theories, not that I have any inside knowledge.

First season of that show was incredible.

For veggies, I usually get frozen mixed veggies, it's more varied and some even have mushrooms mixed in there making them very tasty. Or I cook some tomato-based sauce.

For protein, I mostly eat Skyr and Tofu. Eggs, nuts and lentils also have good protein content, but they have other macros as well.

Unless you're doing some aggressive 1000kcal deficit every day, there's also plenty of space for "normal" meals in each day. Just do the math for the macros you need to eat for your goal. I don't think eating only veggies + protein is a good idea long term.

The success of algorithmic feeds does not imply that humans are predictable in general. It just means that humans are predictable in terms of what content will keep them scrolling/watching/listening for some more time.

Interesting observation. Can you give an example where this is relevant?

Stay out of my territory.

"No, I am your father."

"You're absolutely right! When Obi-Wan told me about my father's death, he probably meant that the person he knew my father as is dead, since your personality and appearance have changed drastically since then. I'm glad we could clear up this misunderstanding!"

I've come across this image several times over the last years, but it only worked the very first time I saw it.
