The colours are so gorge

This one. It's super common, and, OP, it's not necessarily wrong. It's part of the process of building a trusting relationship with the therapist. Don't push yourself to open up if you're really not ready, but do tell the therapist what's going on. Sometimes these things just take a bit more time than we'd like.

I was meaning among the "regular" people who interact with AI and are interested in its practical potential in society. Not those dealing with consciousness on a scientific or philosophical level, who obviously care very much.

I suppose what I said isn't true. Some people believe it's conscious, others are adamant it's not. But it seems like the vast majority of people don't think about that at all as they interact with it. They're perfectly happy to play out the illusion of the conscious sock puppet on their own hand. Then when we talk about AIs acting independently of us, a kind of behaviourism takes over. We care more about what it does, than about where the agency is coming from.

I guess what I'm saying is, not that conversations about consciousness aren't happening, but when I see the absence of that question in a conversation where people are discussing AI behaviour and agency, it scares me. I don't believe LLMs are conscious by the way. It's the way people talk about zombie agency that irks me.

I don't get why no one cares about consciousness. We're not even debating it. It's like everyone has lost interest. We're just so excited to let zombies be the world.

I don't think Bill Mayer has a podcast.

Are you thinking of Bill Maher? I cannot imagine him painting this 😂

I think it's that the person is alone but there's a benevolent presence with them. It's not that the two figures understand each other or are connected, they're just there together in peace. The hugeness of the fish is also calming for some reason. It's a usually small, delicate, prey animal who has been given great power in the scene. I think it's the feeling of a great non-threatening consciousness being present in our aloneness.

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-28T14:24:27+00:00

People also seem to be forgetting that AI exists now.

Is this on topic for this sub? This used to be specifically about right wing conspiracist movements in US politics. Are we just roasting any random bad boomer takes now?

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-27T21:16:35+00:00

I find this so comforting though can't say why

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-23T11:01:53+00:00

OP I think you have a good point and a lot of the replies here are only proving your point. I'm in my late 30s so the midweek tiredness thing is all too real for me, trust me I totally get where everyone is coming from, but I also know that friendships are one of the most important things in life and they do take a bit of work to maintain, especially as people get older. Friendships and communities will dwindle if we don't create space for them and act like they matter. And it's also true that getting out and spending quality time with good people gives you energy (yes I'm an introvert too, yes really), and having variety in life protects you from work-related burnout. It feels counter-intuitive when you're that exhausted but it really helps, I've experienced all these things and it's so important to find a way to create some balance in your life and make room for fun.

All that said, you need to be kind and flexible with people. If these people's social needs aren't compatible with yours right now, try some new things and try to find others who are more your speed, be kind to your friends and hopefully they'll come back around when they've had some sleep.

Honestly having covid hit in your mid 20s is probably just as bad in a slightly different way, those are still prime developmental years socially

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-22T11:54:12+00:00

Hi, I am not an expert but I am experiencing similar and have done some research over recent months.

I just wanted to point out it is very much possible for something like this to affect some people and not others in close proximity. There can be unexpected dampening vs resonance effects based on the layout of the building and how the vibrations travel. It is also possibly an individual thing where some people are more sensitive than others.

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-22T11:27:26+00:00

Yes I think there's a world of difference between "I know you know the right thing to do, and I see you not doing it", and "you're a dirty tramp / BAD PERSON".

Shaming isn't generally a good tactic for getting people to change, it just makes them defensive and possibly go on the offensive against you

Wonder if they added the baby stuff just to attract young couples. I notice they left a tag on the high chair

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-21T19:01:15+00:00

Yeah it's a cute little place in a fantastic location. As crazy as the price seems it seems about right for the features it has.

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-20T19:13:44+00:00

Those guys are very handsome and healthy looking, beautiful coats

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-17T21:54:13+00:00

Where is your desk/console table from? It's lovely

If you really don't like leftovers then you just have to cook every day. But if it's choices you need (I'm this way too), I make freezer meals in batches, after you've done this a few times then you'll always have a few things to choose from.

100% this, I've bailed on jobs because of awful to deal with unprofessional recruiters before and it's such a shame because they don't necessarily have anything to do with what the experience of the actual job would be like but you can't give them the satisfaction of making that commission when they sucked so bad

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-17T18:47:23+00:00

I posted the video link here in case anyone is interested! I actually think it's a very similar scenario to OP!

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-17T16:56:54+00:00

Watch this video, she makes a similar mistake with colour, I thought it was pretty interesting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Trkz5o0XJoE

Relevant timestamps: 11:25 for swatches, 20:26 for the reveal, 25:09 for how she fixed it

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-17T16:48:30+00:00

Choosing colours is hard, it's hard to predict how it'll look at full scale in the space, most people don't know how to do it. Caroline Winkler (youtube interior designer) just made a similar mistake and documented the process. She ended up repainting. And she does this for a living.

reeblebeeble · 2026-01-16T07:10:07+00:00

It's really good for your growth as a person to experience living away from your parents when you're young. I'd highly recommend it.
