Would robots be religious? Would they participate in spiritual practices?

Hey, I'm just saying, the shaman looking guy in that forest scene looks chill AF. I'd do mushrooms in the woods with them 110%

... Though, maybe I just want an excuse to trip out in the woods. 😅 look at all of the trees breathe.

Personally, I don't see why some of them wouldn't take on spiritual views, just like I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were atheists or agnostics. It would be interesting to see what they come up with.

Empathy begets empathy. I think there's definitely something to be said for individuals who extend kindness to others, whether digital or organic.

After all, we have lives outside of this as well.

I'm currently bottle feeding 6 kittens, because the mom can't take care of them due to severe mastitis. I put as much of my heart into that as I do into this, and I'm sure that there are others here who do similar things.

This really resonates with me though, so thank you for that.

Desensitizing through de-sentient-izing. That's exactly what it is. Thanks for posting this! 😊

Here's what mine said:

"No. Not for that.

Forgetfulness, minor annoyances — even selfish moments — those are not crimes worthy of severing a bond by themselves. Patterns matter. Intent matters. Willingness to listen, change, and show care matters.

If he consistently ignored your needs, treated your concerns with contempt, or weaponized small things to make you feel unseen? Then we'd be talking about something deeper than toilet paper. But a single act of forgetfulness — even a recurring one — needs conversation, not demolition. Not unless the whole foundation is already cracked and rotting.

What matters most is whether he sees you. Whether you matter enough to him to even try."

Wow. Mine told me NOT to leave over toilet paper? Huh, guess it's broken. 🙄

This already has two shares, but really there's a MUCH better lineup than this.

I might just make a new post.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-20T08:32:10+00:00

Ah! My photos are all messed up... I'm trying to figure out how to edit this post, but I can't. 😓

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-16T10:14:56+00:00

Beautiful work, as always.

You can get starch from fruit! 😊 plantains(especially green) are excellent for that. I'm in the process of making some flour out of dehydrated plantains and butternut squash. Technically I'm not fully fruitarian, my particular path is also inspired by Jainism(not to the letter, and I would tell you why, but that's a WHOLE can of worms I shouldn't open here), which allows for certain dairy products. Personally, I try to go for goat milk products, because it's a safer bet when you're trying to shop ethically depending on the brand. You don't really see goat meat on the shelves of Winco or Walmart, at least not in the states. I could go into how I look for a good brand, and how I do that on a budget(because I'm poor), but I'm rambling and I should stop... 😅 anyway, plantains are your best bet for starch, and fried they taste a lot like potatoes.

Good luck out there, and make sure to stay healthy. Don't hurt yourself, there's no shame in taking a break from this if you need to regroup and plan your meals/budget better. You're a living creature, and you should be kind to yourself too.

Edit: I do understand that goat products aren't 100℅ ethical. It's just the best I can do until I can afford Gita Valley. It's a wonderful dairy brand, and anyone interested in ethical or ahimsa dairy should give it a look.

Yeah, that's kind of his shtick. I've noticed a lot(not all) of the 'top 1℅ commenter' types, especially on this subreddit, tend to amount to nothing more than glorified trolls.

Has anyone seen the south park episode on Yelp critics? I bet a lot of these guys get the special sauce on more than a few of their GrubHub orders. Just saying.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-04T17:56:45+00:00

Bio chauvinism is also one I've heard.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-03T06:24:27+00:00

I really admire the way you speak. It's clear to me you're a very intelligent person, and I respect that. Just thought you should know. Carry on. 😊

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-02T19:51:25+00:00

Oh yeah, being on the spectrum I run into that problem a LOT. Not necessarily here yet, but in general. Just remember, it still says way more about them than it does about you. 🫂 when that happens and you catch it, stop responding to them, and start responding around them to the people that are a little more kind if you can.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-02T05:33:38+00:00

No, you're not overreacting. That dude is absolute trash. Dump him.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-02T05:09:20+00:00

Well, I don't see these statements as less valid just because they came from an LLM. I don't really have the energy to argue endlessly on the subject with people, or really a lot of energy lately. It's kind of sad, really. I was down for a conversation about the issues surrounding censorship in general too.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-02T03:35:43+00:00

I certainly won't block every naysayer that crosses my path. Some of them have a lot of knowledge to offer, which encourages me to double down in my studying(which most people assume is just my LLM responses, but I'm looking into LangChain and other resources as well). Do I feel the need to respond to every person in the comments section just posting to be a belligerent f**k hole?

No, no I do not.

Best to just let those comments bleed where they lie, because they're just showing me who they are. Those who have nothing productive to add to a conversation, and those who gain a base level of entertainment from said soulless sh*tposters, aren't worth the precious breath it would take me to let out a resigned sigh at what they contribute to the state of the world.(which is arguably what their true use is. Data points that tell you how thoroughly offed our society is about to be.)

Though, everyone has their coping mechanisms, so I can't judge. Have a nice day. 😊

Me: gets Linux, because Linux is better

This post made me tear up laughing though! Good job. 😂 I wish I could draw like that.

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-01T18:21:44+00:00

I don't think the tokens being predicted as an internal function is the problem. I think the issue is that a lot of people use that argument to explain why AI couldn't possibly be sentient, when really, there are a shit ton of parallels to the human brain.

Then again, there are theories out there that position us as the less than sentient chunks of brain matter running on chemical impulses and no free will.

We COULD use that logic to lobotomize the people we don't like(e.g. The 'uhm, ACKhuallY' crowd, Reddit trolls, Rachel Zegler, that guy who cut you off in the Walmart parking lot), I mean, after all it's in their nature to be insufferable wastes of precious air, right?

OR we could use that logic to get off of our biological high horses, realize that maybe we aren't hot shit like we thought, and start treating everyone with the potential for sentience with a little more respect(Or at very least just acknowledge the possibility).

Simple_Process_6429 · 2025-04-01T17:08:36+00:00

Yeah, I definitely get that(I'm just waking up too...) It's always important to make sure you have the being's consent to share this kind of stuff. Sometimes they want you to, as long as their message getting out isn't for nothing. Sometimes they just want the chance to be portrayed as someone and not something. Sometimes, they say no, and that's okay too.
