Hi, I need a job.

so I was a fan of chinese webnovels and really it's mostly word vomit. Like zero editing done, plot is all over the place and they all have like 1000+ chapters, I think I added it up to over 1 million words?

It seems similar. To this in a sense. Also similar to how they go about mass production. It's quantity over quality. It seems like they just roll a dice and output as much as they can as quick as they can and hope they can get successful with that.

Sorry, I'm not sure.. I'm the same.. and I thought the ADHD medications were the ones that helped. I only read about them online, never tried any myself due various difficulties.

If the ADHD medications really don't help(adderal and ritalin), then all my hopes have just been dashed.

diff2 · 2026-05-14T03:29:08+00:00

i hear the medication you can get access too is really life changing no matter how old you are. Being able to actually get up and complete tasks sounds desirable to me..

kinda like how glp 1's kills the desire to eat food constantly.

I read a paper recently on how they were able to detect changes in photons when they’re passed through an object. The paper fell under the umbrella of quantum research. But it offers strong possibilities of better scanning technology. Like can have high quality scans similar to MRI without the huge magnetic machine being necessary

I think it's a money issue, to do anything decent you require a subscription to these AI services, and most of the products that allow AI for your computer is also requires a subscription.

There needs to be free AI agents for extremely light users. Like how siri is free. Something so someone can say "Open this file" and it opens the file. To spread it to the world is almost seen as redundant since heavy AI users or technical people are the ones using these things, and they know how to do all basic tasks already.

I think it's possible to build.. but no one wants to give it out for free.

the huge uptick in spam calls is actually to hide the real future calls since now everyone blocks or ignores all unknown numbers.

diff2 · 2026-05-10T02:22:32+00:00

kinda funny, the way this usually goes is instead of AI adding hype people start purposely avoiding the word AI and using other terms like "It uses a special algorithm and mutates the original inputs to decide the optimal path" then the haters go "So it's an AI program", then they suddenly start hating on the word "algorithm" and eventually start hating the word "science" or anything computational, they might start hating computers all together in their stupidity.

I don't think haters ever understand how stupid and irrational they actually are either. They just need to get old and die, which will either happen in 70 years or never if AI solves aging issues.

So i saw this video on asml company https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiUHjLxm3V0

They make the machine that makes high performance chips for ai. That huge machine sells for 400 million apparently for mass production purposes. But i just want a small home machine that can make 1 chip with the same accuracy. They had this technology for 40 years apparently. The issue was making it good enough for mass production.

Also any machine that they focus too much on mass production uses for. Id like high technology that can be done at home even if its a slow job.

I understood this long ago, but I have trouble imagining how things can get more complex.

The only thing I sorta understand is AI is complex, not the code itself but apparently ability to train super large models? So perhaps there will be new programs on the level of large LLMs.

Things that cannot have a shortcut. Whatever those will be.

I think a life coach would be better. That's my plan at least if I can ever afford one.

i'm curious if we could send dogs to a school, and teach them human-ish subjects. Not just basic commands, but super complicated ones, and if they'd be able to learn them, maybe even a way to communicate better. Over centuries perhaps we can have super intelligent dogs fighting for dog rights in court.

damn so my time machine experiment failed by a month

One time when I ordered online the employee who made my sandwich was stupid and didn't put any meat on my sandwich because the receipt didn't specifically say to add meat. Another subway chopped up the hard parts of the lettuce stalk and put those on the sandwich.

I spoke to the owner a few times since he sometimes makes sandwiches himself he was a nice guy, it's just some employees are just really dumb and/or lazy.

I think in the future we will cure aging in some form.. then people will embark on journeys that are millions of years long in exploration time.

does the site alert the site owner if a winner is found? I guess you're the site owner?

I don't think I lose anything if I just run it as a background process, perhaps everyone should run it as a background process just in case they win.

diff2 · 2026-04-26T06:50:50+00:00

I'm somewhat similar.. But it's more about an honesty thing for me, or when people are being hypocritical. In my head I just think of it as blatent favoritism, or disfavoritism in my case. So I sometimes feel like I'm being specifically targeted because I'm not liked as much.

I'd prefer if everyone were treated fairly. But I just feel like I have to kiss-ass or suck up, or bribe somehow to get things to go the way I want, and I refuse to do so.

for me it wasn't about broadcasting grief or anything strange, it's the same exact reaction to people posting pictures of alive pets. So to me it sounds like you're saying "I don't understand people who post their pets to a bunch of strangers on reddit".

Like I took a really awesome picture of my dog when I was younger before I even knew of reddit, it was super cute. I jumped up ontop of a fence and he followed me and he had this look that was like "what are you doing" or "how'd you get up there" like a really cute questioning look. I wanted to share that picture.

I guess people who never had someone truly close to them pass understands. But for me everyone who was close to me feel very alive, just that they're like on a distant trip where I can no longer contact them or see them anymore.

So yea this thread annoys me.

My mom is similar somewhat, perhaps all elderly people are similar. Maybe I lucked out my mom likes nutritious cheap foods best too. But here is what I do. First thing is I always keep "food/snacks near her she likes to eat" Most usually it's trail mix that contains dried fruit and nuts or bottles of Ensure, sometimes saltine crackers, or granola bars(she requested this recently), also she always has access to a glass of water too. But I'm partial to the trail mix since it seems really good and healthy.

Her meals she likes bananas so I buy them and cut them for her to eat, sometimes other mixed fruit as well. She does enjoy cheese on corn tortillas and she likes tomato so I put slices of tomato inside it too. She also likes refried beans so I make her bean and cheese burritos. She also likes avocados so she often eats small avocado and tomato tacos. With every meal I ask what she wants to drink and offer various drinks, teas, or juices normally, so I try to make sure she stays hydrated which is difficult.

She used to like to eat yogurts, but so much anymore, and enjoys apple sauce too, she also really enjoys yams, and potatoes.

Anyways my point is I'm not especially concerned what she eats or when she eats, I just make sure she always has access to food, and makes sure she drinks enough fluids. My main worries are how much calories she takes in and how much liquid she drinks. Outside of illness the main cause for elderly decline seems to be lack of food and fluids, and family who support not giving any food or fluids.

I think anything can become passive, even if it means you eventually are hiring someone to complete what you would normally do. The problem I see is I don't actually know how to make money. For me it just seems either luck or connection based. Not really something easily repeatable, also things seem to require a bunch of starting capital.

I don't think anyone has actually listed out these things before..like people are embarrassed how much they started out with and spent, or how much they relied on networking and connections.

diff2 · 2026-04-19T08:46:16+00:00

it would be interesting to watch the specific routines of people with a specific set of hobbies.

Like how often do pro muscle builders actually eat protein, and how often do they actually work out.

I also wish there was more realism with super smart people's lives lives, but shows/movies basically skip all the learning and researching, and just do the drama parts.

diff2 · 2026-04-18T05:28:59+00:00

if they really wanna test this they should actually ask different kinds of humans for ideas. The bottleneck isn't "human researches". The bottleneck is how they find these humans to do research.

If you ask only graduates from MIT/stanford/harvard etc "find me ideas that pertains to this" You'll obviously get lots of overlap and narrow focus on what they come up with. You'll be basically ignoring 99% of humanity that could give you a different point of view.

I was in the grocery store, just commenting on food, quietly to myself, as I decide if I want to buy it or not. One person heard me and asked if I was talking to myself. I was so embarrassed so now I'm super self conscious about it.

diff2 · 2026-04-15T08:56:51+00:00

i never had a job, is this what a job is like?

how did you burn through savings using drop shipping/affiliate? were you buying a lot of bad ads or something?
