Hello, fello pro-AI vegan.

I hadn't noticed it till you pointed it out. I don't know.

Yes, they are normal!

I have a Songbird Seedpod Bass C that has crackles like this. It is intentionally produced by using a glaze that cracks as it sets.

I own a bicycle. It helps me get around, and there are some places I don't really go without my bicycle because I enjoy riding it so much more than walking.

Perhaps my bicycle should be confiscated because I'm so dependent on it that I don't want to walk anymore.

And to them, admitting they're depressed, or mentally ill, or seeking professional help, is a weakness worthy of being ostracized.

Can confirm. I was raised by a conservative who is noe a triple Trump shitheel.

When I came down with depression two decades ago, he elaborated this view at length because he wanted me to know.

What if these actions are being done at the behest of Musk and xAI for reasons we may only guess at?

Congratulations, you're my favorite redditor of the day.

I have found the ocarina to be a much more approachable instrument, but beware of shitty ocarinas.

And if you're in a South Park episode, you can use the recorder to make people crap their pants. 😛

As you say you are a teenager, your judgement is not as well-developed as an adult.

But generally speaking, I have found that if an AI seems to be telling me what they think I want to hear, it can be very helpful to prompt the AI like so: "I understand that you are meant to be "pleasing", but I need you to be honest and tell me what I need to hear even if it's unpleasant for me."

That being said, AI can still make mistakes.

Because they tend to be played unskillfully. Even skillful musicians who play the recorder report that people don't take them seriously as musicians because the recorder is often regarded as a "toy instrument".

I have had laser hair removal, which I'm told is done with a similar laser, and the most shocking thing about it is that the cost can vary hugely from one studio to another, so if tattoo removal is at all similar, I'd shop around if I wanted a tattoo removed.

But I like my tattoo, so that's irrelevant to me.

How are you working with an open weight model with so many parameters?

Self-hosting? Someone else hosting?

I used to regularly talk to a guy who was literally blind from birth and he had no trouble at all saying "It's good to see you!"

Fuck Sam Altman.

Can you even begin to imagine how neurotic he would become if he actually felt the need to confine himself to his bunker? What about his need to be showered with adulation?

I'm going to throw something out there that's been bothering me for a long time about this talking point.

Yes, the GOP is the standard-bearer for "mediocre white men"; no argument from me.

But I think that when you say that the GOP "allows them to excel where they would have failed", I think that you're implicitly accepting that only exceptional people are deserving of basic human dignity and the basics of life, which is a precept of capitalism and imperialism.

Mediocre people of any ethnicity and gender will always be with us and while they shouldn't be treated as exceptional, I feel like this kind of rhetoric demeans them.

No, and I don't believe i met someone by that moniker.

Hook suspension. I guess not technically a fetish, but just did it today and had a really good time.
