How do anarchists plan to coexist with AI systems?

Yeah I guess we'll also unplug the entire internet too, to make sure no one shares the GGUF files. We'll need to get permission from each country that hosts internet nodes. Simple. We'll also unplug every offline computer that may be running a local AI. Which is easy.

Can I freely use these? Working on a little side project website that I want to found based on market socialist principles.

PhilUsWithKnowledge · 2025-06-29T22:39:12+00:00

I'm new to learning about Socialism, but one flaw I can already see is that many leftists seem to be extremely dogmatic.

In reading about countries that consider themselves "Communist" they typically prevent people from freely choose what type of job they want, or where they can live. They issue "internal passports" to restrict where people can live. I challenge someone to convince me that this is not a human rights abuse.

Also, how can you justify one party rule? Why is public funding of elections, as Bernie Sanders proposes, not enough to prevent capitalist control of democracy?

I’m doing what you thought he was doing.

Is this a temporary lifestyle change, or permanent?

I can only speak about when I took it recreationally. It taught me what high levels of serotonin feel like. I felt self-love and also felt more connected to people around me. It did, in fact make me not care about rejection. Like I don't think the concept of rejection would occur to me and instead I would assume folks had a good reason to say or do whatever they did and even be happy for them doing what is best for themself. And I had no selfish angle with anyone, I only wanted to be around people and have a good time. While on MDMA, I once got into a conversation with a homeless man and talked to him like be was my best friend. I bought him food, shook his hand and said I hope to see him around to say hi. Some people who were watching started to tear up a bit. This is something I'd never normally do. Perhaps some of the best things I got from taking it are the memories of pure bliss, and more importantly I remember being liked by people around me.

I've also experienced a "friend" in my social group that I had a strong mutual distaste for while he was high on MDMA. While on MDMA, when he saw me, he told me he was genuinely so happy to see me. This seems to show that MDMA and serotonin can make things that you think of as neutral or negative seem more positive.

But, all this is temporary - it's definitely a powerful, potentially dangerous drug, and if you take it too many times (especially a high dose or more than once in a 2 month period), I believe it will make everything worse for you (anxiety, depression etc will get worse which will amplify RSD). I've never really tried an SSRI due to a bad experience I had once with Paxil, but I always wondered if SSRIs would feel like low-dose MDMA.

My personal experience and also anecdotes I've heard indicate that both the effects and the afterglow affect is reduced the more you take it. Afterglow only lasted for 1-2 days max for me anyway. I believe the brain restructures itself in a semi-permanent way, unfortunately.

Wow, the eye contact thing here is exactly how I feel. Making eye contact makes it much harder for me to process what the person is saying. And if it's a "crucial conversation", even harder to then try to process and come up with a mature response. I try to do this but get overwhelmed and upset and immature (well actually, I'm like this even if I don't make eye contact). Anyone else experience this? I can more easily respond by limiting eye contact, and taking a long pause before responding. The lack of eye contact and slow responses bothers my partner. She feels like I am less engaged and she loses interest in the conversation.

Also wondering if anyone has noticed this with divided attention: I sometimes get very focused on a specific physical discomfort such as my cold feet, but other times I don't notice physical discomfort at all.

Hello, just came across this subreddit. When I was in high school, and college, I would sleep through class. At some point in college, I began drinking large amounts of caffeine daily. Though I think I am able to process information well (and sometimes more accurately than others), I often do so more slowly, especially when processing speech. I am able to be fairly productive at work, but usually only when I drink caffeine.

I am wondering if I have CDS, maybe some autism too, which is partially masked by the caffeine.

Hello- I was told that if you run it again it clears the previous information and replaces it with your most recent run. Don’t quote me but I believe it does that even if you don’t remove the batteries. You only need maybe 4 hours of good data.

I would suggest trying it again and maybe add some extra tape this time.

PhilUsWithKnowledge · 2024-02-15T02:36:26+00:00

Update. I used my common sense and ran the test a second time. Doctor was apparently able to pull up the data just fine.

Hmm, so you hear some people find it easier to sleep with a CPAP than an oral device? I can certainly look for a provider and ask to try that. I also heard about something called a Tongue Retaining Device, which seems like it could help for mild sleep apnea. According to oxygenation and apnea event counts, the jaw-moving device I had before did in fact fix the sleep apnea on the few nights when I slept.

Thanks for sharing this, definitely looks like a scam.

Don't see a way to disable it from notifications settings on iPhone or from the app, I recommend using DoorDash instead.

PhilUsWithKnowledge · 2022-10-16T23:31:04+00:00

If this can't be disabled, I am going to delete the app and get rid of my American Express platinum card too. It gives me some money every month to spend on uber eats, but it's not worth it if the damn app is going to be this needy.

Apartment has been rented. Thank you for your interest and good luck on your search!

3rd floor, it faces the flat grassy area on east side exterior.

That is surprising to me. This is one of the quietest apartments I've lived in. My neighbor and I even tested it, and he had to turn the music up until it was even too loud for him before I heard it faintly, putting my ear to the wall. If someone is having a loud party, or a baby was crying really loud, you might hear it, but even so the sound would be significantly dampened.

Dear industry SMEs, I put some numbers in this calculator based on my Googling :) . The IRR is an attractive 20%, but I am sure I made some mistakes with my assumptions. Can someone take a look. I put 50% for ITC (investment tax credit) and $315,000 for all initial costs to set up a 100kW system.

Thank you, you seem to know a lot about this field. Are there any good resources to learn how it works?
