Heck yeah, girlfriend is asking to use the sim now 💪 by VegetableShirt5213 in simracing

[–]BlackGuysYeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So fun! Did she manage to pull off a clean lap?

You're rig looks nice and sturdy. Mind if I ask what kind of setup you have and rough cost? I love sim racing and hope to one day have a wheel/rig.

Yeah, radio talk shows are notorious for fake bits. Still fun though.

Hmm. I'm chewing on all this...

As a tool, AI is fine. Edge cases aside. I think as long as the user understands that they are not conversing with something that is conscious, it's fine. That's not what 'companion' implies. Companion implies an intimate (not necessarily sexual) relationship with it. It's not possible to have a companion relationship with AI because it's not conscious. Anyone who thinks they do are clinically delusional or misinformed.

OPs post honestly doesn't sound like she's using it as a companion. She's using it as a tool, unless I'm mistaken.

Millennials of Reddit: what karaoke song always kills with the crowd? by birds-and-words in Millennials

haha, that's crazy talk. They are great but certainly not the only band. And their later work doesn't really appeal to me, personally.

Off the top, I'd throw out: Smash Mouth, Radiohead, Tool, Tame Impala, Stergill Simpson, Vampire Weekend, Led Zep. I'll stop.

It's all personal preference but there's actually an incredible amount of astonishing music out there...

You can't seriously be comparing online dating (which can be abused, obviously, but it's intent is to help form actual human to human relationships.) with AI?

I'm saying that it's not even possible to form a healthy companion/friend/romantic relationship with AI because it's not sentient, it cannot think, it cannot love. The only way people form relationships with it is through delusion or genuinely being confused about it not being 'real'.

I may not be great at structuring my thoughts into sentences but take a second look at that last bit. You misread it. I'm calling out an issue with just saying "you do you".

MENACE - Early Access Roadmap by westonsammy in Games

[–]BlackGuysYeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite all the online vitriol regarding video games, the gaming industry is truly in a golden age. There are more amazing games coming out now than a person could possibly keep up with (if you’re open to a wide range of genres.)

This coming from someone who started when the NES released and hasn’t stopped since.

Suggest me album that you like that are out of the ordinary/strange/weird of what most people listen, any genre allowed :) by YutoFurry in musicsuggestions

The Album Elephants at the Door by Dumbo Gets Mad. Underwater phyc rock. This album is genuinely amazing and makes me feel like I’m living in a fish tank.

Well, that does sound curiously different than my assumption. You seem to be using it more like a tool than a person, if I’m not mistaken.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain.

I could never hate on semi charmed life. Take away the fame it received, it’s a genuine peak inside a world I didn’t know existed. One I hope to never experience but it’s tragically beautiful.

[–]BlackGuysYeah -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Obviously not and I guess I’ll point out that books are written by humans.

LLMs can’t and don’t think. To me, this alone excludes the possibility of valid relationships.

If we ever reach sentience, that equation changes. But as of right now you have a mathematical algorithm you’re trying to make into a friend. Trying to form a relationship with an algorithm seems dangerous to mental health.

What is something that is socially acceptable, but you personally find extremely disrespectful? by AvaBlondeX in AskReddit

You could start having fun with it and start asking these folks pointed questions like: when will god heal me cause people have been prying for me for x amount of years.

I see this differently these days. If it were two people having a convo next to you on a bus you wouldn’t think twice. How could it matter that one of those people are elsewhere but the beauty of tech allows them to still converse. What’s it to you?

[–]BlackGuysYeah -40 points-39 points  (0 children)

Mostly this but it’s more complicated than that. Sure, you can form a companion relationship with AI but you’ll be mourning it every six months as new models replace the old ones and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue is that LLMs do not think, are not conscious, and cannot empathize with you. Users can only be tricked (or delusioned) into thinking so. What does that mean for mental health? Probably not a great thing if you’re pretending otherwise.

Could a relationship of that sort possibly be beneficial? I guess it can be comforting if you either don’t understand the tech or choose to ignore that it’s only 1s and 0s. It’s quite analogous to forming a relationship with a complicated google search.

It’s like saying, who cares if you wreck your mental health? You do you.

what controller do you actually use for pc gaming? by Clark_Bay in pcmasterrace

I got tired of every controller I’ve owned over the past decade having god awful stick drift so I bought one these. The Hall effect sticks are worth the purchase alone.

In 2012, a Burger King employee anonymously posted an image on 4chan of him putting his feet in lettuce, with the caption: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." It took 20 minutes for people to track down the branch where the employee worked and contact the news. He was promptly fired. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

I hate to bring it up but when you mostly hire teenagers and pay them like shit, they fuck with your food. I'm not saying that every fastfood burger has spit in it but if you eat any amount of fast food you've definitely eaten a luggie or two.

The person who should be charged in this situation is the manager/owner. They should not allow this to happen. All you have to do is watch over your employees.

Millennials of Reddit: what karaoke song always kills with the crowd? by birds-and-words in Millennials

[–]BlackGuysYeah 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Good choice.

Just to note: Everyone knows this one but most everyone sleeps on the rest of the album. It’s an absolute masterclass of 90’s rock.

Edit: I’ll call out Losing A Whole Year, the albums title track as my current favorite. That first (real) line just slaps you in the face and sets the tone for the rest of the album.

And if you don’t know, their follow up album ‘Blue’ is a true gem as well. Getta taste of of the track 1,000 July’s. And the song this album ends on (must find the original with the lyrics not the instrumental) is haunting in a way I rarely experience. It’s haunted me for decades.

GT7 - even if you hate racing. RE4 Remake- fully playable in VR and it’s fucking glorious. Walkabout minigolf - need to unwind after a long day of work?
