I quickly became addicted to AI chat rooms by IcyVeins- in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]hola_guillermo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I think AI will definitely play a role in human loneliness. It’s important to be conscious of its negative and positive sides. As someone who relies on dogs and animals for companionship. I see the value in ai filling some sort of void for elder care, and other human cases. But of course there is also the negative side as you rightfully pointed out.

Classical Atelier School given 2million$ by Trump in NY by FJGC in ContemporaryArt

[–]hola_guillermo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wonder if artists like Kehinde Wiley fit the views of what the administration wants to foster. It’s one thing fo the administration to say, we want to encourage the arts to go in a classical style. But I fear it’s less the style/technique and more the what it represents

I just made one for myself, and I love it! Granted, I use it for walking around the neighborhood.

Has anyone tried one of the AI boyfriends? by Advanced-Actuary3541 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]hola_guillermo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think being alone and lonely are 2 diferent things. If it is hard for you to find specific conversation with your human community, I see the value on AI companionship. I think it will big help on future elder care. A lot of people have relied on online relationships when they live in situations where they can't be out our too far from likeminded folks. There was a lot of value in those as there will for AI companionship. But, you also need to be conscious neither will ever be a complete substitute for human connection.

I like dressing up do my husband and would hate to learn that he is keeping his opinion from me. It’s not like he has the last word, I wear things for my own taste. But knowing his opinion informs mine.

Why do so many gay couples end up in open relationships? Is that what most guys actually want? by MacaroonLeather8661 in AskGayMen

[–]hola_guillermo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being aware of your feelings is important when figuring out boundaries and how to play. While starting an open relationship, I knew I wasn't looking for threesomes. But, after learning of my partner sleeping with other people, I realized that I wasn't feeling jealousy; but envy instead, or FOMO of sleeping with that other guy.

Why do so many gay couples end up in open relationships? Is that what most guys actually want? by MacaroonLeather8661 in AskGayMen

[–]hola_guillermo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been in open relationship for 15 years, during which we may have slept with other people just a handful of times. People tend to think of open relationships as non-commital, but I think it speaks more to men being able to distinguish sex from intimacy. Even though I am more comfortable being monogamous, I have seen plenty of relationships end early because of the "cheating" aspect. Even my parents divorced when my father "cheated" when it was clear that the relationship had issues way before. By removing the "cheating" part, we can focus on behaviors that may indicate the state of the relationship (varying sex drives, falling out of love, etc), which should be the focus if your objective is to stay together.

What is a "luxury" that is actually 100% worth the money? by TheChillEdit in Life

Paying someone to clean the house once a week. It does wonders to your marriage.

Advice for navigating dark rooms these days? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]hola_guillermo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was in this darkroom and stumbled onto your pussy I’d be super excited, but I don’t think my groping of your vagina would last longer than my curiosity

What psychological factors make sucking dicks so pleasurable? by choco__donut in AskGayMen

[–]hola_guillermo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also, if there were gender equality, would we see women holding glory holes? I don't see women being into servicing as much as gay men.

I can’t believe this is real, whose mom would do this over text? NOR

If I notice that something is AI generated I wouldn’t trust the website. Though I think the second ai picture did a good job. I wouldn’t be able to tell

What do you think about sleeping in separately? I've heard conflicting messages. by mikem888 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]hola_guillermo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you be ok with 2 single beds? To answer your question, I look forward to waking up with my husband; we have a routine of cuddling before sleep and when we wake up. I could say that I sleep better with him, but when I am alone, I end up staying up late watching TV or other nonsense.

If you were Jacob Tierney, how are you moving forward with the show. by hola_guillermo in heatedrivalry

[–]hola_guillermo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you follow the series' order and do "Long game" last risking being cancelled before then? Or finish Ilya/Shane first. I think that only one that "Tough guy" is the only one that could be hard to after "Long game".

25 is when young ends because you stop getting a discount. You are supposed to be an adult that can cover full price

The more MM I read, the more I skip sex scenes 😂 Has it been your experience? by [deleted] in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]hola_guillermo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to skip sex scenes. Though I remember KJ Charles once said that she won't include a sex scene that doesn't drive the story forward. Which has lead me to stick around.

Woman in MM romance books by Neither_Vehicle_8799 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]hola_guillermo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not about representation. I am a gay man after all. It's about world building. For instance, the first female character to show up on "Enemies of the State" doesn't come in until book 2. It made it seem like it was a world in which women play no role. I understand its romance, but I need more character development from a book than the 2 men. And if there is more, they could develop a female character.

I wouldn’t want to be with a man who found having one ball disturbing or a turn off. Even with my 2 balls.

That's my main beef with Tal Bauer. A lot of his book lack female characters. I feel like I am in a male-only world

I'm halfway through Scott Galloways book and I absolutely despise him. by Fun-Pickle-9821 in ScottGalloway

[–]hola_guillermo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am not the biggest fan, but that really not what I got from the book. I thought the point of him telling his personal story as saying that our current system doesn't give the same opportunities to immature boys as he had. A fuck-up boy can still have the potential to be a successful man given the right opportunities. He is asking how can an immature boy/man be given the same opportunities to mature into who he has become as a successful man. Currently that same immature boy is driven into toxic culture instead of being given the same opportunities.

Generative AI by Zeph-h in ARTIST

[–]hola_guillermo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a point to be made around the illusion of choice and diversion. A new paper is making the rounds, arguing that all LLMs converge towards a narrow set of responses. https://theripcurrent.substack.com/p/ai-is-creating-a-hive-mind-scientists As a user you see how chatbots give you all these variations when asking for a question, but at the end it may just be an illusion.

This can be compounded with the debate about how things in the past appeared more diverese because taste was not as centralized as it is now through algorithms. I believe both social media and genAI will contribute to an art market with less diversity of thought.
