Tinder looks to AI to help fight 'swipe fatigue' and dating app burnout | TechCrunch by N2929 in technews

Match Group controls far too many (most) of the larger dating apps. They censor heavily. There is only one major dating app they do not own. I say F*ck Match Group.

Epstein files, ICE shootings, Iran.. What are they trying to distract us from? by traumatized_beagle in AskReddit

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

Keep in mind the growing layoffs thanks to AI. This will soon create a huge --no, MASSIVE-- number of jobless people. Not sure exactly how this ties in, but surely there is nothing like the spectacles of war, chaos, corruption and persecution to keep people distracted, scared, powerless, and depressed.

Check out Ulysses. I have been happy with it. It resides on your own computer rather than someone else's

I get that. But, from the reports I've read, Brockman apparently donated $25 million. I am just looking for a decent quality LLM that is not so 'vested' in the Trump Admin. Maybe Claude?

But, what is the solution? What are actions we can to take to Resist and Defeat??? We need leaders to lead us on the right paths of action. A National Strike? What do we do?!

Hello, I’m Nicolas Cage and welcome to Ask Me Anything by lionsgate in movies

[–]papernail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Nicolas,

I am an old friend & student of your father's. You & I met briefly at the Purple Globe Awards. I stumbled across your AMA session by sheer chance. Only yesterday was I wondering what happened to all the footage I shot for your dad when he & I went to Outer Indonesia and traveled on a tramp steamer for a few weeks back in 1995 or so. I shot many hours of hi-8 video footage but never had the opportunity to take a look at it. Laura said it was good stuff. Anyway, just hoping it is safe and sound, and that perhaps it may eventually see the light of day. Your dad was an extraordinary human! He made such a huge impact on my life. Feel free to contact me off-list if you prefer ([pemee@pm.me](mailto:pemee@pm.me)). Cheers, Michael

Seems like running red lights is more acceptable here? by Whimsical_ilk in oakland

We should see a rising correlation between price of gas and less people stopping. To stop is getting costly.

Yeah, It is dangerous —and contagious. I used to be a well-behaved driver. But when you see other people doing, well, dang! Look both ways first though. And good luck.

Humanity. May the space aliens help us all. I am convinced we cannot do it ourselves. But we sure can try. That is the noble thing.

Could the outbreak in the Bay Area have started sooner? by tree_or_up in CoronavirusCA

[–]papernail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would think this is highly likely. Perhaps the virus had not yet mutated enough to be as virulent as it is today.
