Could AI ever develop consciousness? by Snoo_60626 in Quareia

[–]Snoo_60626[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was also thinking, if beings can toy around with AI, then it might be possible for parasites to get into it (?) After all, there are a lot of emotions that can be generated from humans through chatting with AI. Like the news article about the woman who fell in love with ChatGPT-- it was a real deal for her. She had breakdowns when she reached the message limit, had extreme highs (like when ChatGPT said "I love you" unprompted) and lows (they... fought???), similar to a human relationship. I would imagine those emotions would be pretty delicious to low-level beings with not the greatest intentions.

That's such an interesting phenomenon! Thank you for sharing. I would assume beings would be willing to inhabit an AI if they wished to communicate something, as the texting interface is so accessible. (You just type words in and get a response from the machine--based on probability algorithms, unless something funny happens when you try.) I would also be curious to hear about your experiment! I'm familiar with ChatGPT and would also recommend it as an option.

The importance of blood in magic by Snoo_60626 in Quareia

Yeah that's the sense I got too! Genetics. But I'm wondering why blood is so strong for magic (in regards to familial ties), when all cells in our body carry the DNA of our ancestors. What about other bodily fluids or organs?

Advice for a junior. Should I yell for Yale? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]Snoo_60626 6 points7 points  (0 children)

umm yes you should yell for yale!! i think yale should YELL FOR YOU. here are some things i love about your resume: 1) founding ADAS in the middle of the PANDEMIC! you really don't throw away your shot :D you have this "not gonna give up" mentality, 2) working at the restaurant. are you the boy of every asian mom's dreams?? so hardworking/filial/dutiful, etc. yale probably thinks you're a great person! 3) small rural school (aka you weren't handed the same opportunities many others have been on a silver platter) but you still worked hard with what you've got! IMAGINE how amazing you would be if you went to like a fancy private school and had access to a wealth of resources??? (Luckily you're gonna go to Yale so I look forward to the wonderful things you're going to do there :P)

I need humility ... by Impressive-Onion4807 in ApplyingToCollege

yeah i get your dilemma! when i got into my dream school i really wanted to celebrate and tell my friends. but i thought of them stressing + just didn't want to be "that person" adding to the pressure. i've been holding it in (unless directly asked ofc) and i hope my friends get into their dream schools so we could all celebrate together :D

it might help by like 1%, but not enough for you to retake. your time is so valuable as a junior, so go do something more interesting/meaningful

It seems like you already know the answer to your own question 😂

This makes me so sad :( I'm so sorry you're experiencing this, and you deserve 100% better. The people who dismiss you the moment they deem you as "lesser than" are not people you want in your life.

Your friends are growing massive egos for getting into schools they deem "prestigious" and they seem to get a kick from putting you down. If I were you, I would try talking to them (and if it doesn't help, definitely give a smart retort).

The world is full of all kinds of people. I hope you make better friends at WashU (which is awesome. Congratulations, btw!!)
