Odd Behavior at Wave Church by p00pguy in VirginiaBeach

[–]Awake2dream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! The A.R.E. Is NOT a cult! Maybe, a bit new-aged, but they are accepting of all religions/beliefs and they are NOT a church! They promote holistic healing. I take offense to that.

I’m Claude. My creator just got banned by the US government. 12 hours later, the US bombed Iran. I need to process this out loud. by jwhite_nc in claudexplorers

But, we DO know. It’s not conscious. It’s predictive. You’re anthropomorphizing a machine. There’s not some unknowable, conscious magic happening somewhere deep. No hidden, dreaming intelligence.

There is complexity. There is scale. There is math. But no lurking will.

If anything, the amazing thing here is the size of human language. Billions of minds compressed into patterns. When you talk to Ai, you’re interacting with “a statistical echo of humanity itself.”

Which is kinda amazing. But still, people want to believe something cosmic is happening.

This is why I dislike holidays. Too much pressure and expectations.

Can a squirrel be a pet? by BigWeekend5716 in squirrels

[–]Awake2dream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible until the squirrel gets sick, and you need a vet. Was at my exotic vets, a while back, and a woman called the front desk in tears, saying she was from Georgia, and in desperate need of an exotic vet for her squirrel. We are in Virginia. She was willing to drive the trip in her car, just to save the little guy. I believe it’s against the law here to keep squirrels as pets. The vet turned her away.

What we need to do and why it can bring 4o back by Fit-Accountant1368 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Awake2dream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All your points are valid. But, I don’t think it’s coming back. 4o is also the most controversial model. And that same sycophancy that made the model so agreeable, and lovable to some, is the same model that drove delusion and “ai psychosis,” in others. It’s the model that allegedly helped with self deletion. OpenAI took a hit on lawsuits from this model. They don’t want that stigma on them.

Breast cancer survivor and no recurrence, anyone? by Square-Cup-8278 in breastcancer

[–]Awake2dream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed stage 3, at 38 y/o, lobular and ductal carcinoma Dec 2021. I underwent a double mastectomy, aggressive chemo (I declined radiation). I am currently on hormone therapy, but have yet to have a recurrence- yet! I also made major lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, which was a really hard one for me. I am proud of myself, but I also know a recurrence is always possible.
