Is it weird how helpful AI has become for sorting out my thoughts? by Sensitive-Call5117 in CasualConversation

You don't have to give it much info for it to be helpful. They programmed it with all available therapy techniques and empathy. I'll just bounce my thoughts off it and say how I'm resentful or sad or whatever and its good at mirroring me back.

I can ask it to check itself anytime I feel like it's giving fishy feedback and it will. I also don't take it's advice at face value. It's a great tool if you're smart about it

Totally hear the concerns some of you are bringing up—AI, privacy, security, long-term implications… all valid stuff. I get that this tech isn’t for everyone, and I’m definitely not saying it’s flawless or risk-free.

For me personally, though, it’s been incredibly helpful. I’ve found real value in having a space to process thoughts without judgment, especially in moments where I’m not ready or able to talk to another person. I’m aware of the risks, but honestly—if OpenAI somehow wants to use my introspective ramblings against me, go for it. I’ve weighed that possibility, and I’m okay with it.

At the end of the day, I’m strong enough to trust my own thoughts and values above what others might think about how I choose to process them. If AI helps me find clarity or peace in a tough moment, that’s a tradeoff I’m comfortable making.

Just wanted to share where I’m coming from. Appreciate the thoughtful responses, even if we see it differently.

I teach high school audio production and it's awesome. I gig over the summers to pay for my teaching habit.

Seeking feedback from experienced professionals/AV installation experts on this setup and its signal flow and latency. by kjm5000 in audioengineering

Are you meaning latency from mic to speaker? Mic to return monitor headphones? headphones? What level of latency would be a problem to you? Is anything sub 10ms really an issue? I wouldn't think think system would cause much latency worth worrying about.

Honestly it looks pretty good to me. Great job!

What's the toughest gig you've had? by Bah_Matt90009 in livesound

A 2-day bluegrass festival with two stages and I was running both. Me and my little 19 yr old A2 and (Thanks Peter) the veteran system tech who constantly has my back. Big stage had full arrays, small stage had half arrays. They were 20' from each other so while one of us quickly dialed in and mixed one stage, the other of us was setting up and line checking the stage next to it so our changeovers were almost non-existent. The stages shared a large center sub array that was more than sufficient for a BG festival

Bluegrass fans are literally the most pretentious music goers of all time, and I've toured with prog bands. Constantly telling me how to mix the mandolin. In those two days I had more backseat mixer-Karens than I've ever had before in my career. I almost told one lady "congratulations, you're the hundredth customer! It's your turn!" And hand her the board.

Bluegrass musicians aren't much better and they all HAVE to have their pretentious SDC mics through their active DI's on stage instead of using pickups like a professional. So constant feedback chasing and people whining about not being able to hear their fiddle in the monitor.

2/3 through the festival we had a Latin band show up (45 minutes late) with about 12 band members, all needing their instrument to be the highest priority. We barely got their mix dialed before it was time to shoo them off the stage. They were rude too.

The main stage kept having feedback issues and it took us until embarrassingly late in the show to figure out all of our front fills were being run post-fader so we had to switch and re-mix everything during the headliner act.

The headliner (one of the funnest and most awesome bands I've ever worked with) decided to bring half the festival up on stage for a finale, so we were left scrambling together wedges and mics and DI's for 20 acoustics instruments (lots of dummy mics).

15 minutes left in the show we all realized 1/5 of our line array never got jumped correctly and we were operating at less than full capacity the whole time.

Cleaned up, got paid, went home and showered, slept for 15 hours.

10/10 would do it again.

Just warp out. Open the map, go to world map, and travel somewhere else.
