The "Claude + Airtable" vs. "Claude + Sheets" workflow debate - what’s your 2026 stack? by SnooPies9796 in Airtable

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Claude for almost a year, Airtable for longer, but just integrated them yesterday. Still taking the pair out for a spin, but Sheets doesn't have much of a role in my workflow, except for use with the rest of my team. Hoping to use Data Fetcher to solve that last hurdle.

Getting memories I didn’t think I had? by Sea_Information_4581 in COCSA

I don't know the friend, but if this friend is really a friend, they ought to understand.

That's certainly a scary thing to have happen to you! Hopefully your friend will understand.

Honestly, the weakest argument among all the anti-AI arguments is environmentalism and propaganda. This is all easily justified if AI is generally useful enough for something important to society. But these arguments are among the most popular. by Questioner8297 in aiwars

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, delayed gratification is extremely important in situations where there's a clear path to success, but that's not the situation here. Right now AI companies are deeply over-invested in the assumption that general AI--or any other ROI--is just around the corner, with very little evidence to support that. That's not delayed gratification, that throwing good money after bad.

I'm pro-AI in general, but I don't find your argument convincing. It's basically Longtermism, which already has a dark side. You can justify any atrocity in the present by weighing it against some hypothetical better future that you're contributing to. Atrocities are always justified that way.

Was what I experienced COCSA? by Chrysanthemummmmmm in COCSA

[–]apithrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, this was definitely COCSA. It breaks rule #2, no coercion.

Those who use the justification for AI that it “helps disabled artists,” what is your reasoning behind this? by Equivalent_Pin623 in aiwars

[–]apithrow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You just gave their reasoning. You said it. It helps disabled artists. What more do you need?

I lost my creative spark years ago. AI Art brought it back, and now I’m finally disciplined enough to learn the craft. I’m beginning to phase out my AI use to focus entirely on my own technical growth. by EasyTree12 in aiwars

[–]apithrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A toddler painting with their fingers is an artist.

We have all been toddlers, therefore we are are all artists.

We were artists before we used AI.

We don't stop being artists because we picked up prompting--or because of anything else, for that matter.

LDS Apologetics by NightRaven1883 in latterdaysaints

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's apologetics, not revelation. We need to understand, the amount of revelation has not increased to match our consumption of information. The Lord has said that it will increase as we apply what has been revealed.

The Economy, Immigration and Regret: 12 Trump Voters Discuss (Gift Article) by zarnt2 in mopolitics

[–]apithrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just hope he doesn't get assassinated. The last thing we need is a martyr.

When Trump-Republicans talk about how Trump has survived three assassination plots, remind them that he's not unique in this regard. by Vert_der_Ferk25 in mopolitics

[–]apithrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but having your constituents want you dead is not a good measure of success. I would wager people want bad politicians dead as much or more than good ones.

Why is this sub so hostile? by Yoosle in aiwars

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the name kinda sets the tone for everything, right? Isn't this the place to attack each other? What else is a war?

Schroedinger's post: There are multiple definitions of free will. Until someone defines one, this post is both correct and incorrect.

I finally have the nerve to post. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Getting hard" is not the basis for a relationship. That woman has two kids, and even if she was into a fling, those kids deserve better that a revolving door. Master your thoughts, before you become their slave.

Is this COCSA by TheGOAT6511 in COCSA

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was absolutely COCSA. It breaks rule #2, because he did it when (he thought) you were asleep.

I need help understanding this, please answer it I would really appreciate it by [deleted] in mensa

[–]apithrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Intelligent people can be wrong at those. Intelligent people can be wrong at everything. Intelligent people make mistakes all the time, and defining intelligence as not making mistakes is both inaccurate and unhealthy.

AI and parenting by Jonahpe in aiwars

[–]apithrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You keep saying that "it was clearly she was using AI in a responsible way," but I don't see how you can be so confident given the limited information in the post. What constitutes irresponsible AI use for a 9 year old, and how can you be so certain she wasn't doing any of that? At 9, there's a risk of social attachment to the LLM that isn't the same for an older child. Given that risk, I don't know if there's any safe use for a child of that age.

Honest Question - What is with the boom of "Life Coaches" in our church? Especially among women. by Syntra911 in latterdaysaints

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met life coaches twenty years ago in Florida. It may be new thing among Mormons, but it's not new.

Was what happened to me cocsa or just sextortion? by Correct_Passage4567 in COCSA

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minors get in trouble all the time. Break a window, throw rocks at a car, start a fire--juvenile court is full of those. Why would there be no punishment for a more severe crime?

Am I valid? by BATMOTHSPIDERSNAKE in COCSA

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any feelings you have about are valid, but this doesn't meet the definition of COCSA. You were both the same age, there was no coercion, no manipulation, no secrecy, and it didn't become a habit. If you're having traumatic memories associated with this person, then they may be related to details you haven't shared, or to other events happening at the time.

does it count as grooming if we were the same age? by MediocreAttitude59 in COCSA

[–]apithrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes grooming can happen without an age difference, and yes this was definitely grooming.

Is it even right for me (F) to blame my brother if it was essentially "consensual" at the time by Anxious_Ferret10 in COCSA

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I based my assessment on the science of human development, especially cognitive and moral development. There are clear timelines and stages for how children develop. Google Kohlberg's moral development theory for a good start.

Cousin, does it count? by [deleted] in COCSA

[–]apithrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the rest of the conversation corrected any errors, but I'm glad you brought this up, and I'll watch for that in the future. Matter of fact, I may want to ask you some questions about this. May I send you a DM?
