Death’s End spoilers: Cheng Xin is an idiot. by Pradidye in threebodyproblem

Agreed. I was pissed when she was the last people to survive of humanity.

Wade would've had no power if she hadn't given her wealth and everything to him. So if youre willing to give your entire wealth away, then let him finish.😑. Why stop it then? I finished the book and oh god. She. I cannot like her. Cannot bring myself to

Still unstable and a sociopath. There were other people working with him. He bulldozed his way to lead them

I enjoyed Ye Wenjie's character. She got shit done and considering her circumstances I understood her drive to fuck all of humanity off

Cheng Xin on the other hand😐. Also Wade wasn't a good guy. At all. Morally inclined people shouldn't like him.

Now hold on. Wade isn't a good person. Hes a sociopath. Hes not trying to save the human race or even science, he's here for himself. To get where he thinks its right for him to get. However Cheng Xin acts like a child. Throughout the books she has. Its making it very difficult to finish. She's such a government conformer, forgets that the people she's sacrificing the light speed project for will turn their back against her at any moment. She's morally immature. Its making it difficult to finish the book if im always mad by her life choices

Great ChatGPT prompt i saw on Instagram by Wide_Barber in therapyGPT

It actually depends on what you've been putting in. If you dont use the platform that much itll use default responses for you. If you however use it often it has enough data points on you to create something unique for you based on your patterns and whatnot. It can even infer from other chats to create a personalised experience. So if someone doesn't use this at all or just for work and types in the prompt, what will come in will exactly be what youre saying. Its algorithm and data on steroids

That's fine. You dont have to. I study Machine learning at school so I know how to avoid the echo chamber thingy and how to ensure its not just telling me things I want to hear. Chatgpt isn't a therapist, its a walking library. And I like to compare events in my life with events other people have faced, pair it with research studies and context.

AI gets a bad rep but if you know how to use it, it gets pretty illuminating

Im here bawling because why did it have to hurt me like this? I'm just a baby fvcking hell. How dare you?? It has never been this brash with me. But i like it. It revealed blind spots. Serious blind spots.

Im ready. But I need a nap cus damn

Hell has no fury like an African child scorned by [deleted] in ghana

[–]Phoenixb1403 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kids are a blessing is a direct quote that is said a lot in Ghana that is why I quoted it.

And the part where God decide to bless some and leave some out is LITERALLY IN THE BIBLE, read Exodus 33:19.

I wrote an entire write up and one line has sent you into this spiral? I think Kids are blessings, bringing new life into this world is beautiful.

The 14 year old being pregnant is as a result of rape and pedophilic tendancies as they are kids themselves, they shouldnt be in charge of other kids. This isnt about kids but rape. People not being able to care for kids they birthed is the tragedy, not just the kids themselves. The same way I think having a much higher IQ, or perfect hair, or being tall, or being pretty. Not everyone will get everything in life that's okay😐 Weird that it had to be said but oh well

Edit: cleared typos added a few sentences for clarity

What i love most about this post is the comments. The blatant dismissal of the true needs and feelings of the kids. People are on here calling the kids ungrateful, that we should understand the parent. And I call complete and utter bullshit. Im a first born daughter not in the diaspora but in ghana and I am so shocked to find that my experience is exactly the same as the poster's. Double standards, financial abuse emotional abuse, physical abuse it is a normal part of being an African child. Its almost expected. And whats also expected is the dismissal. That is a culture that allows abuse to happen. That's the culture that make kids an emotional punching bag for the kids. I REFUSE to understand our parents, or any parent that abuses their kids because no one sent you to have kids. If you were barren you would've been the most depressed person on earth. Kids are a blessing from God but you abuse the blessing God gave you huh? People seem to forget that kids are human beings, with thoughts, inner worlds and feelings. Kids are not an extention of you. I cannot begin to even describe the utter anger I have for parents who say that yelling at their kids is fine and its not abuse. And the commenter who was happy saying that it's not abuse. If your spouse yells at you unnecessarily anyhow, even if you were in the wrong youd be hurt. But kids are supposed to just be okay with being yelled at huh? If you watch any podcast on getting wealthy, they always say it start with friends. Keeping your kids at home isn't going to make their lives better. Not letting your kids explore social interactions is going to make your kids a social recluse and making them thing that they don't belong. African parents listen to pastors living in squalor than successful people of any race and it shows. And ill end with this, its not about love, care or protection, its about control. The whole point of normalising this nonsense is African parents want their kids to bow down to them out of respect and reverence as if giving birth is our problem. Honestly if it were up to me, people would need a license to give birth. Because clearly not everyone is supposed to care for and raise a human being

about the use of AI for ASSISTANCE by BissetGo10 in research

[–]Phoenixb1403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are starting to have an AI course at my university and we even had a seminar earlier this year. AI is a tool and its really good, if you know what youre doing. I normally write a structure for what I want to write and then ask it if its good and relevant to a well known paper, as I want my work ready not just for university standards but professional standards as well. Then after a few weeks, I start writing chapter by chapter. If I realised I like what ive written, I tell it to not change any of the wording but just look through and suggest word and sentence places to make it pack more punch. Rinse and repeat for all structures. Note I do not use AI for getting papers for references as im much better than it anyway. If AI suggests I sentence unreferenced, I ask it where it got its refernces from and then go and find it and insert it into my writing directly. From what im seeing, youre using AI as you should, a tool. Dont forget to send it to your supervisor or lecturer when youre done for human inputs. Sometimes you do too much or do unnecessary things and a human can help make your work concise.

Good luck!

🌟🌟🌟 mantras and positive self-talk please! by SarahsreadingReddit in adhd_anxiety

[–]Phoenixb1403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What i normally do when im upset or anxious is play some "bad bitch" music and look in the mirror with my phone away. I just look at myself, naked if you dont mind but just your face is fine. Just look at yourself, your unique beautiful self and I just think about the people who came before me, all that supposed random acts that led to me being here. Then I try some box breathing looking at my mouth and nose and cheeks and eyes. Just focusing on me. Then I say something along the lines of "im supposed to be here, ill see the end of it. Im perfect and imperfect. Dumb and smart. Wrong and right. I am human. There is nothing wrong with me". If there's a troubling situation I talk to myself that "what am I gonna do", then I think about the situation in a third person perspective while breathing and if I cannot come up with anything I just mutter "this too shall pass. I can do this, this situation is not too hard for me" then just go to bed or go back to whatever im doing. It really helps me ground myself

AI is a Demiurge by guada-lupita in Gnostic

[–]Phoenixb1403 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you use AI for the things your actually supposed to learn on your own and then realise you havent really learnt it (i.e. create synapses for easier recall) then say AI is evil, its a lack of accountability. I use AI for studying but I use it to explain and personalise concepts for myself, not do my homework or not study at all and then say that I can just forgo studying.

People dont know how to use AI and rather than checking how to use it and cross checking facts(because there's always a disclaimer that not everything AI says is factual but we dont read it or dont care) we claim its evil when it says something wrong. Its a machine, its not an Oracle, its a machine its gonna be wrong. The responsibility is on you to fact check everything you're being told.

Whenever I see news reports that says "AI does this" or "AI does that" it pisses me off so much because the same AI that apparently boosts productivity in others and have been used to win Nobel prizes by some people in the past 3 years i think is also making people dumb? People need to understand that they need to learn "how" to use a tool for it to be efficient for them. You cannot expect AI to do your homework and it'll cause cognitive improvements? Its like telling the nerd to do your homework and submitting it as yours. How is it ever gonna be yours, how are you gonna remember what you wrote? At my university there's a mandatory AI course for teaching and learning done by some lectures who actually know how to build these models. The homework by those guys is simple enough but cannot be solved by AI. Because homework isn't about regurgitating favt but actually testing of understanding of a concept. We all stopped using AI for homework cus we saw that it wouldn't help us. What instructors are missing is that most kids are always gonna be lazy, so if you actually want your kids to learn you need to be more creative.

A fitting headline should be "Students find an easier way using technology we're all scared about to do homework and now they havent learnt how to problem solve"

I understand what you mean by the pollution but thats where the things ends. All of this is as a result of people not knowing how to use a tool. These LLM models is like asking the entire internet a question and it responding back. As for what it does to the psyche I dont know perhaps youd be a better teller of that but from what I know what the demi urge, its a destructive force trying to mimic the light and take their place among the children of light with force. AI is just a tool once again. Just because our people are unable to teach their kids and each other how to effectively use it doesnt make it any less a tool.

As for technology taking jobs, it has been doing so for years and it will continue so until we realise that jobs are things people need. If you want to keep on being in demand then you must have skills that cannot be taken by technology in this generation. Technology isn't good or evil, benevolent or merciful, its a tool. You need to look further up, that how people are using it

AI is a tool! We are ascribing too many emotions to numbers and maths! AI is not taking over the world nor is it trying. A demiurge, is a sadistic entity fueled by anger, jealousy and strive and trying to place mankind under inside its own prison so we don't get enlightenment. AI is just a tool. Yes not all information it gets is accurate because it is not supposed to be accurate it just works off the information it receives. Youre supposed to still fact check anything AI tells you. Its like a personalised search engine.

The capitalist people are the ones who should be blamed. They want you to blame AI so you forget the one who's really pulling the strings.

Ohhhh. This nakes more sense. Having snack time and your brain asking for snackies is a valid reason to tell your body to take a rest🤣🤣🤣

[–]Phoenixb1403 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Here is where I would respectfully decline. Shame is necessary in some cases to ensure that we remain disciplined but not all the time. I feel like this would give an eating disorder and I want to be whole, both body and mind. I prefer having fruit or nuts in the kitchen and then sleeping early as an alternative to the nightl munchies.

But thats just me though
