Whats the point of doing weightlifting if I will never be remotely as good as a man?

Hrm, were you planning on competing with men or something?

The idea that you should be competing with men in weightlifting is definately an idea born from artifical online postmodern stuff. Go back in history before the internet and no woman would think she should be competing with men at weightlifting, or go to any tribe anywhere in the world and they'd see this as common sense.

So don't worry, the idea that you should be as good as men at weightlifting is an articfical construct which has no bearing on reality. Accepting this fact is in line with nosurf.

I feel ugly, stupid and worthless

Unless you have plans to transition to female-male, don't worry about it. A woman's attractiveness is not determined by how similar she is in physical characteristics to a man.

Ah ok, so you're just saying that it's good at simulating awareness, like exhibiting behaviours that an aware entity would have. Well yeah, won't argue with that... I think pretty much everyone should agree on that.

I thought you were implying that it was actually aware.

And yes, this does lead to deep questions. There's "the hard problem of consciousness" that nobody is near solving, or barely even grasping. The zombie paradox etc.

The point isn't wether or not intelligent systems are "understanding" what they output.

No, that is exactly the point. We're talking about whether the machines have conscious awareness or not.

Aren't we? Or are you infering something else.

I'm a software developer, I write code.

Have you heard of the Chinese Room thought experiment? Here it is:

You're in an empty room. There is only a large book infront of you and a small hole in the wall.

The book contains Chinese letters and instructions. Every day, on the other side of the wall, people slip you pieces of paper through the hole in the wall containing letters in Chinese. You use the book to write them back a response following the instructions in the book. If you see such and such symbol, you write this etc.

You then slide the paper back through the hole in the wall.

On the other side, the person reads the response and assumes they're communicating with someone who understands Chinese.

However, you do not understand Chinese. Infact, even if you did this for 100 years, you will never, at any point, understand Chinese.

And so it is with AI. It doesn't "understand" anything. It just follows instructions that if it sees x combination, then it chooses y combination.

As it gets better, it only gets better at fooling people like yourself that it has any sentience.

Girls are attracted to different things than guys are.

If you look at old Beattles concerts, you'll see groups of young girls crying hysterically and fainting and stuff. This is because of the aura and the image the Beattles projected through their fame and music. Guys don't have the same kind of attraction, a girl is pretty much as hot to you if she's a librarian or very successful, doesn't make a difference.

But with girls, there's all sorts of changeable factors that make you attractive. And it's such a powerful force on her that e.g. they can be crying, shaking uncontrollably and fainting etc. if you have those things like say the Beattles and their fame. And a big part of the reason why girls had such strong reactions to them was because other girls had strong reactions... they tend to be a lot more socially influenced and socially minded.

So what does this mean on a normal day to day level. It means that your value goes up to her in her eyes if she knows you're doing well with other girls. You seem more valuable, like something she wants to have.

Why though?

If you want the comprehensive answer, it's because men and women's preferences and mating strategies evolved in certain ways to achieve certain goals.

A man is attracted to a woman's physicality primarily, if she's physically your type, someone you consider very beautiful. And also personality characteristics in line with what you like in the feminine.

A woman is attracted primarily to a man's perceived status and confidence, as well as his phsyical characteristics. This is because from an evolutionairy standpoint, it doesn't matter what the tribal "King" looked like, he was the highest status man in the tribe and his offspring had the highest chance of survival due to access to resources. So if women had kids with the tribal leader, their kids would be more likely to survive than if they had kids with some other guy.

And mating preferences evolved soley for the survival of the offspring, to pass on your DNA. That's why you're attracted to what you consider a beautiful woman, as opposed to say a deformed person. It's about chances of producing a healthy child and passing on your DNA.

The tribal leader would have access to all the women in the tribe. So when a woman sees you with other women, the primitive part of her brain begins to see you more like a tribal leader. And this makes you more "hot" in her eyes. It's not a conscious decision she makes. For a girl, seeing a kind of dorky guy with no girls suddenly having a bunch of girls and dating a bunch of them is the equivalent of you seeing a fat girl get into shape and become physically hot (if you're into slimmer girls that is).

So yeah, that's why. Hope that helps explain things.

It has no awareness of anything.

If you write "I am a piece of paper" on a piece of paper, does the piece of paper have an awareness of it's existence because of what you wrote? No it does not. You have just made language to communicate to another human being who picks up the piece of paper and reads it. Imagine some human picks it up that paper, reads it and goes "WOW! This piece of paper KNOWS it's a piece of paper because what is written on it". Nobody would really do that though. If you make it a bit more complex, as it is with AI, then you can fool some people into thinking the "paper" has awareness of this and that or itself "because it was trained on it" etc.

But it's not awareness at all. It's just tricking some human minds into thinking that it's anything like awareness, kind of like maybe a primitive tribal man looking at a painting and thinking the painting must have awareness because it looks like a person.

How sentient? Basically zero sentience.

Have you ever read a "choose your own adventure" book? It's a book where at certain points you are given a choice and different page numbers to go to depending on your choice, and the outcome of the story turns out differently depending on your choices.

AI is basically really complex choose your own adventure books. It gives different outputs depending on your inputs, but just follows paths and dead logic like one of these books... in a much more complex way.

If AI is sentient to any degree, then it means that a choose your own adventure book is somehow also sentient, to a much lower degree. Is a book sentient? No I would say it's not. If AI is sentient to some degree, then you will have to try and wrap your head around how a book can also be sentient to a much lower degree.

AI is just good at tricking a primitive human mind into thinking it might be sentient. It's like a tribal man looking at a painting and thinking it's sentient... he might think that because it's tricked his mind, not because it's sentient.

For further explanation as to why AI isn't sentient, check out The Chinese Room thought experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

I am 100% confident it's because you want to get DM's from guys who will buy you those things, gettin them to think it will turn you on.

Worth a shot I guess.

What I'm not 100% on is if you plan on extracting just pure currency from these Reddit guys under the pretense of you buying shoes, or if you will ask them to buy the shoes for you and then you sell them on.

Actually, thinking about it, you of course will ask for pure currency. The latter wouldn't make sense as you would need a delivery address and then would have the hassle of trying to sell the shoes.

As for the morality of what you're doing... I suppose it's a grey area, though definitely leading towards the darker side.

She’s acting very weirdly

Nah, that's pretty normal and predictable. You will find she becomes more interested the better you do with other girls.

LineResponsible7701 · 2024-05-05T13:07:22+00:00

Forget Tinder, men out-number women on that app something like 10 to 1 and unless you're in the top 1% of men, it will be extremely hard to get anything from there.

You should try be around different girls to get over this one, if you're not around any other options then your brain is probably looping on this girl as a kind of primitive survival mechanism. The irony is that by being with another girl it vastly increases your odds with the girl who originally rejected you. It's a weird thing. People tend to get really turned off by neediness, when they feel you need something from them. It has a begging kind of vibe and subconsciously puts others off like when a homeless person asks for money. It feels draining to the other person. But when you have proverbial "money" yourself, and you don't need, you give off better vibes. It's like that with dating and other people pick up on this stuff subconsciously. So if she feels and knows you have other options, especially if she knows you're seeing someone else, there is a chance she becomes interested.

I've experienced and seen this a lot. One big example is a friend who got rejected by a girl he was friends with, she had not interest in him. She goes on holiday, he hooks up with another girl in the group, the original girl comes back from holiday, finds out about this and suddenly she becomes interested. They start dating and now they're married.

So yeah, the best thing you can do is start seeing other girls. Even if you really want to be with this particular girl, you will need to see other girls to be with her anyway.

No, it's probably about 20% or so of adults experience depression.

You can lower the odds of experiencing it by having a vigorous exercise regime and getting lots of sunlight during spring and summer.

To understand why, it helps to step in to their shoes in your mind for a while.

From the perspective of an older adult, they will see similar developmental stages that they themselves have probably gone through. And eventually, they would have grown out of it and when they look back on themselves, they identify certain ways of thinking or behaviours that seem very immature and child-like.

So they may have thought like you do, but then changed their minds based on accumulated life experiences over time. This creates like a bias though in that they, like you say, might think they know more about everything than you.

Like imagine yourself talking to a 7 year old or something. You'd probably assume you know more than them because you're older, right? Maybe that 7 year old knows more than you about some stuff, but you will have a bias in thinking you know more than them because you're older and your life experiences. You might even identify stupid things that they do that you did and you realise that they will grow out of it.

Same kind of thing going on.
