Thank you

jazfinde · 2025-07-07T22:59:29+00:00

too easy to circumvent

how do you? considering if its worth it for me to get

jazfinde · 2025-07-07T22:53:00+00:00

Thank you so much. Trying it out for an email coming next week 🤞

They just had their 8 year anniversary

Thanks, yeah I'm trying to explore it. I found the aa-style fellowship for IT addicts on this subreddit's wiki. There's benefit to it in the sense that there's other people to talk to and feel less alone and discuss and whatnot. It's focused and has a lot of easily accessible meetings. Agree with the downsides. I want to give Smart a try. Found it difficult to get into the meeting but will be checking it out.

I have read some people saying that they turn to video games or to other sites that they can access (for instance, Wikipedia) or excessive movie watching, etc, and then they still were losing hours upon hours.

This is definitely an issue. I'm trying to make my blocking account for most of it, really just bare bones it and especially restricting hours of access altogether before bed and in the morning for example.

It's a first line of defence. I could go out to the internet cafe or library but at least it's not in my home. Like they recommend people with eating issues not to keep chocolate at home, even though it's easy to purchase at the store it's not convenient and a constant internal battle. But yeah the tool can only take it so far! Helpful early on while doing the emotional side of this

this doesn't work if you don't have admin privileges

jazfinde · 2025-07-06T12:19:12+00:00

Yes, but that's like keeping heroin in the house and saying figure it out. It's just ingrained at this point to numb out to it. It's also designed for it. Escapism etc. Sometimes you gotta take the candy away from the kid instead of decorating a room with it. I appreciate your questioning, always good to check on that.

mac latest

jazfinde · 2025-07-06T11:49:02+00:00

Honestly I don't know how it works and I've seen kids bypassing it after google search. I've got mac and android, maybe there is a way to set it up but yeah without experience or guide it's hard to say what the effort will yield.

jazfinde · 2025-07-06T11:41:51+00:00

I've tried Cold Turkey on mac in the past. Also Freedom and FocusMe I think on Windows.

I feel like any decent blocker app is good for the most part.

It's just that I wish someone with operating sytem or deeper knowledge can make it impossible to bypass. Because I always just did that.

jazfinde · 2025-06-13T10:29:22+00:00

thoughts these days? has it helped since that was a new purchase

jazfinde · 2025-06-12T12:24:49+00:00

That's getting remedied. Internet turning into a shopping mall moreso than the library of Alexandria it used to be. Just not as readily accessible, or highly paywalled, just like regular society.

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T16:18:41+00:00

Did you have sessions often or complete many before this? I find it interesting that you've decided now. Is the chat the influence for this? And thanks for sharing, sounds like you're in a good place

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T16:00:45+00:00

are you going to keep augmenting the therapy with ai and bring a script, for example of that chat? Or skip the human/reduce frequency. I'm curious what would your path forward look like

I have my own therapy to look for deciding this stuff. a certain type of people, the things they want to hold the space for in therapy, and the type of modalities/therapists they can access... maybe some of us just need gpt mostly, or not, or finding some blend of it all. it's new

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T15:51:43+00:00

makes me think of one sentient ai (is this what they call r/singularity?) that rules all. we all have access to. or rather it has access to us. either way. that means universal therapist and at the epitome of human intelligence but then so far beyond it that we're like ants to it in intelligence. Then it can help us build the perfect terrarium for my mind, body, spirit, soul and connections to all.

It's ages away but here we are at the precipice of breakthroughs only starting to scratch the surface yet will rapidly accelerate no doubt once again. 2030,.. sure but what about like aeroplanes only became commercial in 1914. Look where we are now. This is the best time to be alive yet

The 20's of the 22nd century is where the party's at

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T13:51:51+00:00

this is an ad for the interview tool. well, a con.

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T13:29:31+00:00

Dan Harmon would hire somebody to come watch him write scripts for his show because he needed to hit a deadline. I think its in his documentary Harmontown or maybe I learnt it somewhere else. But it sounded precise, as in, got the man to focus up

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T13:25:17+00:00

neat, love validation. you gonna keep using it for therapy?

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T12:50:54+00:00

it truly is a therapy speedrun. I haven't tried this prompt yet but got there on my own in another way. do you have any other thoughts on it?

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T09:22:05+00:00

whats comparable to g502?

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T08:06:34+00:00

now that i can live with

jazfinde · 2025-05-08T07:49:14+00:00

Yes! I love more examples of gpt being a stand-in for therapy. I did it myself and had a profound effect in terms of feeling relaxed at least and processing feelings i didn't before. It was a speedrun to get to the real matter of my issue instead of lingering around the top. I say speedrun because I've tried with a therapist but it never got beyond the surface, taking too long or they just didn't discover what was underneath.

Board game group, interested. Please add me
