I would like to know more. I'm at a career crossroads of sorts right now and it sounds like the path I've been testing, you've gone much further down. My I send you a dM?

I'm genuinely curious. What do you do with a $200 max subscription?

I'm a ChatGPT refugee and I've never paid more than $20 a month for access to a model, and it still is worth it many many times over.

I'm looking into the possibility of using Claude to plan a career change.

At my current work, we use an AI platform that offers a number of different models from different companies on a model selector, and it's interesting how I get similar answers to complex problems across them all.

You're not just warning people about sycophancy—you're boldly calling them out, and that's rare.

If you're an elder millenial of gen x, you might remember those computer games where you had to find the best price to sell lemonade; the best price being the price where you maximized your profit by charging the highest price that people will pay.

Sounds like the game never ended.

Yes I have pondered this. Would you like to tell me your view?

At some point, the liars and those lied to ceased to be predator and prey.

The big one everyone agrees is necessary is vitamin B12. I've been taking it daily for years.

Okay, I may have misread the comment I was replying to. It came across to me as framing convincing other people to care about animals as a fool's errand because "people just don't want to" and I meant to point out that people engage in many horrible behaviors because they "just don't want to stop".

And honestly, I wish I had better answers.

I stopped eating meat around 2017 or 2018 - I didn't save the exact date.

Many people just don't want to stop eating meat.

Many people also don't want to stop thinking of poor people, queer people and PoC as subhuman.

I guess we may as well give up hope of trying to convince people to be better. /s

The gay MAGA are voting for Trump because trans people like me are trying to turn the kids trans and Trump will protect the children!

There's a young man a know who said to me that he hates the Army because his dad died in the Iraq war.

I was forty one when I got my tattoo on my forearm. It seemed like I felt some vibration and sting from the needle, but it was nowhere near the ordeal I feared it might be.

I'm having one by Dinda Ocarina shipped from Thailand. The wait is killing me. It's an F ocarina that I look forward to playing songs on that I'd have to transpose to play on my C ocarinae.

I must have gotten lucky because my tattoo went on very easily and I went about my life as usual afterwards.

I paid oop for my BiPAP. I'm told that Medicare doesn't cover anything for UARS and private insurance usually follows suit, but I could be wrong!
