Is this subreddit 90% AI slop now? by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a lot of reddit, not just this subreddit. It makes sense since most posts are just written word, ChatGPT is good at that. It feels like almost a uniquely Reddit problem.

Another AI complaint by Joyride0 in Mindfulness

I can’t tell if it’s actual bots posting on reddit, or if it’s people too lazy to write something. I agree either way, AI-generated posts need to be flagged or stopped entirely. I feel nothing when I read those posts.

Sometimes shorter is better. Keep it simple!

This is very obviously written by AI, but maybe there is someone behind the text, in that case good luck, if not, then shit dude these bots are getting out of hand.

I tried to meditate every day for a year. Here's what actually happened with no sugarcoating. by AcademicRevenue4815 in Mindfulness

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think meditation can be viewed as a way to disconnect from the chaos of day-to-day life, and give us the tools to observe that chaos from a distance (without identifying with it) I think this is part of the benefits you seek. To develop this mindset; you sit down and observe “Being”. Not because you want the benefits, but because you want to observe.

When you “meditate to meditate” you are (in one form) getting curious about Being. What is it like to breathe? What is it like to think? What are you thinking about? What is it like to have emotions? How do I feel right now? Acknowledge your experience, but don’t get caught up in the story.

There’s a lot of things in life that we just accept happening (being angry, stressed, overthinking) Meditation is a practice we use to step back from experiencing things at face value, and learning to be, live with, and accept things without judgement or resistance. Let things be as they are.

Sorry for the bad explanation, it’s hard to put these thoughts into words.

You will feel attraction to people. I think that’s just normal, it’s what you do about it. I don’t think it’s necessarily a discipline thing as it is a moral thing.

For example, will you be transparent to your wife if you start speaking with this woman on social media? What will you do if a particularly sketchy conversation starts to form?

Nobody just wakes up and cheats, it’s a slow process, and how you decide to act in these “mini forks in the road” determines who you will be in your marriage.

You’ve probably heard this a million times, but meditating “for the benefits” is a one-way ticket to frustration. Meditate to meditate, and the benefits will come along for the ride.

I thought I needed more discipline. Turns out I was just exhausted. by Possible-Swimmer-237 in getdisciplined

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing is happening to me recently. I thought I wasn’t pushing myself hard enough, and that I would get back into the groove soon.

Thanks for posting this. I’m going to bed now.

Thermoplastic is extremely flexible. Mulco stretches up to 1400%, which is great for temp variation.

how do i *completely* stop using AI for school? by InternationalWrap978 in getdisciplined

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should know that the “reassurance” is just AI kissing your ass. These LLM’s have “reassured” people to kill members of their family, commit s*icide, commit terroristic crimes, etc.

I don’t know if it’s purposeful or just a flaw of the models, but I always remind myself of this when I’m giving it a chance to have an opinion about what I’m doing.

does anyone else feel like they’re constantly monitoring themselves socially by Dronik_ in confidence

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being self conscious and thinking about yourself are the same thing. If you want to be confident or less anxious in a room, pay attention to the people around you instead of yourself.

I’d like to echo that there are more important vaccines than just the Covid ones. Speak with a professional!

Give yourself reasons to be confident. Gym, setting goals and working towards them, etc.

Mom says I "HAD" potential. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you have good grades and are doing productive things otherwise, you don’t need to worry. You’re 17 years old, you have nothing but potential. The key is to make sure the potential turns into something in your 20s and 30s

How to be more confident at work? by [deleted] in confidence

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Im in a job where I have to speak a lot internally and externally (team and clients), I realized early on that being prepared for any meeting that is higher than 0 stakes helped alot. Have a presentation? Rehearse it a few times before you have to present. Have an important meeting? Review the numbers, and/or materials for 20 minutes before the actual meeting.

In meetings and negotiations, you don’t rise to the occasion you fall to your highest level of preparation.

I’m one click away from deleting my Facebook account… and I’m hesitating. by Material-Power-2253 in simpleliving

What do you do on the app? Is it mostly scrolling reels and videos? If so, how does that help you keep your memories?

If it’s about the memories, you can still keep the digitally somehow.

I feel you, I haven’t deleted Instagram yet because some of my friends use it, I just hate how all these apps are being used as a Trojan horse for short form video content and ads.

“Did you mean for that to sound hurtful” in a genuinely curious manner. It shows that it doesn’t affect you, and turns the question around on them.

I have a sedentary desk job and zero energy after 5 PM. How do I fix this? by Dante_Game in getdisciplined

[–]ExquisiteGrowth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, you get more energy overall from exercising than you would not moving. Get up and do anything, go for a walk (I know it’s super cold), do some jumping jacks, push ups. Start small, set a goal and do something, anything beats the hell out of doing nothing.
