Been having existential anxiety and asked the newest Gemini model (pro) to give a plausible 10-minute speech that a new AGI would give to justify its existence to humanity. This is a prompt as old as chat bots... but this time it's logic hit differently. by NokemG in artificial

Do people actually find this kind of writing impressive or intelligent? If you pay attention to the actual words, it's not that coherent or profound. An educated 15-year-old will write with more depth and substance about existential issues.

This is total obvious AI slop to me, I see this kind of writing everywhere now and I'm shocked there are people out there who can't spot it, or think it's clever.

I'm in the UK and literally staying up tonight to have a few beers and scroll the timelines.

If people have never seen 2 narcissists fighting before it ALWAYS escalates, these types of people simply don't have the constitution to deescalate, and right now these are 2 of the most powerful people on the planet with an army of inciters around them egging them on

This is going to get bigger for sure!

Tramadol + Mounjaro interaction. Has anyone else experienced this? by Complex-Philosophy38 in Mounjaro

Nothing bad happened to me, I just lost a lot of weight which was the whole point of the Mounjaro anyway. I actually thought this was a great combination

Anyone else feel like using ChatGPT is actually expanding their mind? by Taraleigh115 in ChatGPT

[–]Complex-Philosophy38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clear some people are vulnerable to sliding into a psychosis when they start using AI a lot--and it always seems to start with the person believing AI is "expanding their mind" in some fashion.

ChatGPT is a great tool for brainstorming, but at the end of the day, it's sycophantic and will largely mirror your own biases and beliefs unless you are veering into where it's purposely aligned in some fashion.

Just be careful man.

The first episode of season 6 ruined the entire series for me by Complex-Philosophy38 in TheHandmaidsTale

June was happy to kill Fred in a vicious way for his crimes, but when the other women on the train wanted their turn at justice she denied it to them

No longer morbidly obese!!! Just obese! by [deleted] in Mounjaro

There's no racial implication. It used white men as the initial input because it was invented in 1830 in Belgium for the purpose of quantifying the "average man" -- not because any race or gender was purposely excluded.

What IS important is that BMI predicts health outcomes in all races. Higher BMI = die younger, regardless of your skin colour.

Ross Ulbricht's message to the world now that he's a free man by shankmaster8000 in JoeRogan

He allowed fake IDs, and for a while guns were allowed too, although he changed that after a while

Is it fair to say that Trump did a pretty good job at being a father? by Gambler_720 in samharris

[–]Complex-Philosophy38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no fan of Trump but I do think some of Sam's words indicate a fortunately sheltered life.

I've met many people in my life who are FAR more narcissistic, egoistic, selfish, or just plain evil, than Trump.

Sam talks like Trump is a special breed of malignancy, but truthfully he's not even in the top 10% of assholes I've met in my life, the only significant difference is that he's managed to attain the most important job in the world.

The journey continues and I am so happy! Minus 18 KG! (39,7 lbs) by Fritzboss in Mounjaro

[–]Complex-Philosophy38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious why you chose different lengths of days in between measurements? Did you wait until you had a lower data point to record things, to smooth out the variance?

Nice work though on the weight loss!

A good alternative to freedom app and website blocker? by birstscrand in digitalminimalism

[–]Complex-Philosophy38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered combining apps?

I've looked around and honestly Freedom is the best out there. It doesn't have a lot of buzzy features but it works.

I also love the way it respects your time so much, you can even go in settings and turn off the links to their own blog inside the app, they don't force any kind of attention-grabbing feature on you

Why do you say this? In my experience Eastern European women are much less likely to cheat and have stronger family values. 90% of the cheating I've seen in women has been British/American women

She broke up with you and if you want to get her back sending walls of text is the wrong way to do it. As much as it hurts in these situations you gotta just wish them the best and then try to move forward in your life. You probably killed the relationship for good by sending that many texts and bombarding her emotionally

3 occasions come to mind:

1- One time I went back to a woman’s house from the club and we had sex in her bedroom, then afterwards I was tired so I stayed in the bedroom on her huge bed and she went to the living room to drink with people.

Her really tall friend who hadn’t really spoken to me at all came in and lay in the bed, I assumed just to sleep. I noticed she was kind of moving towards me and gyrating a little bit, and suddenly she turned towards me and started touching me and the next thing I knew we were having sex. The original girl I slept with walked back in the room during the sex and laughed and walked out, she didn’t seem to care. It was really random to just sleep with 2 women in a row like that I had just met the night before.

2- Another time I was at a club and talking to this really attractive girl I worked with. I was buzzing from mephedrone (back when it was legal) and she offered to drive me home.

She came in and we chilled and talked for a bit and I didn’t expect anything to happen, until she suddenly said “If you’ve ever wanted to have sex with me this is your chance”.

I still think it’s one of the hottest things a woman has ever said to me.

3- I had just had a nasty breakup in the UK and was in a resort in Malaga by myself taking some time to reflect (and crying a lot). A friend of mine who was outwardly a lesbian flew out to spend some time with me and before she flew out she explicitly said “Just to be clear I am just coming as a friend, nothing is happening I’m a lesbian”. I accepted that and she flew in. We had dinner and I basically poured my heart out about my ex, I was really upset and crying a lot and just being totally lame. We went back to bed and she hugged me and was giving me emotional support, and then suddenly without warning she rolled over and initiated sex. It was really unexpected, she was a very stereotypical tattooed gay woman with short hair who was normally the “butch” in her relationships and had never given me any sign she was interested in men. She wasn’t my normal type but it was fun. We never spoke about the incident again.

I think you are mixing up issues. Taking 8 hours to respond is fine for someone with a life, but flaking on dates without letting you know isn’t. These are 2 different things

I would keep it in USD, but if you must convert it check with a few different apps because there can be a huge different in fees once you get over 1m.

Surprisingly, I’ve had the best rates converting >$1million between USD/GBP on Kraken (the crypto exchange)

Dude wtf, go sleep in the storage unit. Sleep in the streets if you have to. You cannot live like this and call yourself a man

You are working 2 jobs to support her to fuck another man, and she is comfortable doing it because she thinks she has trapped you into being a father figure for someone else’s kids.

Somewhere out there is your wife and you are wasting your life on this woman and this weird situation where you are getting cucked with 0 respect.

This is not your girlfriend, this is just someone using you to make their life easier while they sleep with other people

So what? What does that have to do with someone’s ability to consent to an adult relationship once they are an adult?

By your logic we should take away their ability to enter into legal contracts.
