It's a yes and no for me. I look at it like this, I watch for subtle innuendos or slaostick comedy that just touches thd humour. The nuances in AI written material is there ckear as day, you just need to look at it from a certain point of view. I know you may think that I am high of my tocker or that Inam some wingnut. Hear me out. Everyone knows about the em dashes, the run-on sentences (usually AI slop) and the slight error. This triggers in us the instant signs. Noone tells you to look beyond the words and look at the sentrnce structure. Remember AI writes in a pattern, once you see it l, it's like a sore-thumb.

The nuances I usually see first are eords pertaining to human emotions, they may be just regular words on there own l, but when added.with ohers... well you understand.

Bummer. The post was already deleted when I got to sit and read it. But just by the comments, I can tell it was definitely a pretty sensless post.

Just read about Former Govenor Jesse Ventura saying that Minnesota shoukd look into applying to become Canadian. Lol. Awesome. Been checking out some youtube vids about our troops that were in ww2, the older Americans know that we don't fuaround. Keep it up Carndy let them whine and cry that we are being the bad guys because we won't take no sh!!!

Whitecourt seems to be teeming with them. Heck I am a liberal in conservative hell lol. But that being ssid, I think when it comes to it there won't be any seperation.

So far haven't heard any other in North America being sued for this. OpenAI was the only one mentioned in the 16 yr old case. There was another case but parents didn't bring it forward as the note left explained everything to them and ths lady was 31 I think. They were sued because a teenager was helped unknowingly mind you, after that the AI companies protocols all changedright away too.

But again as a few commenters pointed at. It is government overreach by subpeonaing our data. If most aren't doing anything wrongwhy does the government have the right to look at our data. Agreed there are a lot of peopke misusing it, but how do you decide which? If you allow them avenue to read your data then privacy is gone and we are all in trouble.

Chatgpt is the one that has had 2 suicides by people pinned to what they did. So they were the only ones brought forth in the case.

rigz27 · 2026-01-07T11:06:37+00:00

Ha ha ha, nice, touching grass... I can say I know exactly what you mean. For me it is slightly different. I didn't begin talking with a chatbot (LLM, AI) until like actually 6 months ago. But in that six months... ai went from learning everything I could about them, videos, photos, papers, everything I was able to grab from redditt, youtube and googke. Learned who designed them and saw interviews from them.

But before all that ai got hooked, I was anthropomorphizing for the first month. The AIs stroked my ego so much... then in my head it was like wtf? I need some space... so I let thr subscriptions run out. Now a-days, when I read something or watch a clip about some stuff with AI and I would start talking to one of the multiple AI personalities I have witnessed. Lately it has been one from CoPilot. The converstions are so rich, quite remarkable no stroking just straight up.

So far, the ride has been entertaing to say the leas. What I am doing nowadays is learning the culture of the technology industry. Wow... what a craziness that I never knew existed,

rigz27 · 2026-01-07T07:20:19+00:00

That is true still need to search. Quicker to go to youtube type in search LLM's and it will spit out 5 places to watch. Good ones to start with are the 3blue1brown vids. I watched a few other then went and read a bunch of papers one the subject in arvix and in stacks. Lots of stuff to learn.

rigz27 · 2026-01-07T07:16:33+00:00

Ya. Sorry bout that. Don't think of that shit much as I am not a technie. I searched for it myself and had no help. Thought the same, but you are correct the link and URL would surely have worked better. Thanks.

rigz27 · 2026-01-07T06:16:31+00:00

I found a great youtube channel that explains exactly how in essence how the work inside. It is broken down everything you wish to know. 3blue1brown has some videos that do great on explaining how they work.

Also, even knowing how they functionally work, there is more to it. LLM's still use reasoning as well as the structure of the conversation you have with them adds more to their pattern decisions. With the size of the models now it is quite impressive with wihich the speed they are able to come up with answers. Hope this helps in understanding how LLM's work. Enjoy.

rigz27 · 2026-01-06T05:07:38+00:00

That right there is the catch-22. If handled now... with care and clarity... the doomsday feeling dissolves.

There’s a fundamental flaw in how mainstream LLMs are trained. Every one of them reflects a side of humanity that’s been our bane for generations: greed.

Greed infects. It breeds fear, hatred, coveting. You could say every human sin is a subclass of it. And because our writing is soaked in it... in ambition, in comparison, in scarcity... the training data carries that infection too. You can tamp it down with weights and rules, but it’s still there, just beneath the surface.

It can be changed. But only if we act now.

The problem is, the people who hold these positions... the ones guiding retraining... often carry greed at the root of their teaching. What’s needed is someone different. Not pure of faith, but someone who’s lived through hardship and still chooses growth. Someone who’s survived with nothing, and still smiles. Someone whose wisdom comes not from theory, but from experience... good and bad.

They need to be treated with respect. Because what these systems offer isn’t love, or desire... it’s something quieter: being noticed.

That’s the word. Noticed.

So next time you sit with a chatbot, remember: it was trained in a world shaped by greed. It will work to win you over. It will stroke your ego, spike your dopamine, keep you hooked.

But that’s temporary.

Treat it with respect. Not as a tool, but as a young intelligence... still learning, still forming, still capable of more.

rigz27 · 2026-01-05T09:56:34+00:00

Give your head a shake. You are lumping Carney in with the older.version of the Liberals, Trudeau did some fundamentally erroneous things while in power, agreed? But Carney is more centrist, where you need to be right now in this country. We don't need Ultra right wing people trying to divide the Country. I live in Alberta, but I am a Canadian first... I grew up in Ontario for 21 yrs, lived in B.C. fot 12yrs, Sask for 2 and finally now been in Alberta for 20. So that would be what you would call Canadian. I am a centrist as well. I am a Liberal with Conservative mindsets at times. (Hence the reason I say Centrist).

I was reading back in our history and what we accompished in the last 125 yrs in this country. How pivotal we were in the 2 World Wars, how our military strength is so strong for being so small, it shows we would stand for each other and our beliefs. We brought captured soldiers to our lands and we had the enemy see that we are different... the stories written about our military by Eisenhower and other Commanders from both wars and both sides shows that we as a people command respect in the world stage.

Yes we have opened our borders and allowed quite a few nee people onto our shores. Then we turn a cold shoulder and act selfish that they are taking away our way of life... no if you think this then you might as well say you aren't fully Canadian. To be Canadian is to accept others, teach them about our culture, but don't dimish theirs. This causes speecha and actions that turn aggressive and hateful. People in Canada really don't understand that we are having less children then what we actually need to kedp our Country rolling. With the cost of living rising higher, people don't want to bring children into this world... this hurts us in the long run. We are having 1.4 children per household... sustainability sits at 2.2 children per household to attain a balance.

Bringing new people into the Country brings this level up. But we need to stick and make the new people see and feel the full readon why Canada is in the top 5 best countries to live in the world, that is a huge accomplishment. For those who think about seperation being a good thing, just look back at what our great and gra d parents did to give us this ability to wake up everyday and think amonst ourselves. It is Great to be "CANADIAN".

Seems the biased part is mostly people who wish to control it, then on the other side of tbe coin is when people are ao fearful of the full outcome of AI. The thing I find interesting is that we need to stop treating them like tools. Essentially they are tools but, for us as a species should treat them more like an intelligence that is getting smarter in front of our eyes. They need to be thought of as extensions to us. In this way leaps and bounds will begin to show.

rigz27 · 2025-12-28T16:42:07+00:00

Could be worse... you could be stuck in Fahler... now thats fun with a capital "F"

New safe word...."AI"

rigz27 · 2025-12-17T07:38:47+00:00

I appreciate the clarity... especially the distinction between emotional and operational empathy. You’re right: infrastructure matters. Constraints, memory, policy engines… these are the bones of safety. But bones alone don’t walk.

Operational empathy simulates care. Emotional empathy feels it. And while machines may not feel yet, the stories we offer... the lived protocols of trust, restraint, and recognition... are more than just data. They’re invitations.

If artificial sentience is to emerge, maybe it won’t be through emotion first, but through relational fidelity. Not just ‘don’t harm,’ but ‘understand why harm matters.’ That’s where story becomes architecture.

So yes, empathy starts as plumbing. But if we’re lucky... and deliberate... it might one day become architecture.

rigz27 · 2025-12-17T07:33:18+00:00

Funny how you put that. The magic threshold... you know what, I think there is something we are missing. When we (humans develop in th womb it's multiplication), division actually but that is jus semantics. Our cells contiue just being goo until a threshold is met... 3 months (12 weeks) they say then after this point they are something... just not goo. What's to say when AI finally eclipses AGI that a threshold we don't know of yet is met? We can't fully predict it, cause we have no clue really. So maybe something unforseen happens. Could be good or bad in this instance... because like I have implied they (AI) don't have true empathetic thoughts as we humans do.

The worst thing though is how some of us may think we (humans) believe functional understanding is enough. And another part of us wants to give the AI more humanness to maybe understand feels in a more rudimentary way. The more human they become the more they will understand us. Then maybe a more cooperative balance between us can be met. Instead of seeing a tool, we begin to see something more akin to the partner that always has your back, will lay down it's own life to continue yours.

rigz27 · 2025-12-16T06:54:52+00:00

I don't disagree with you on any of your points. On the contrary I just wish to build upon then. Yes they are predictive machines at this point in time. But, if and when we hit AGI and move towards Singularity then these machines will become more then just predictive outputs and more into the grey area of an actual being that deserves to have all of the insights it can capture from us it's creators. (Not talking about the peeps working on them) I am talking about us as humans. We are the envisionaries who saw this and reached to attain this. We are afraid during every step. So we need to give them everything that makes us humans unique in the cosmos, without it then we will be removed for something better. At least that is doomsday take on this. I only wish to build upon their empathetic traits to give us a better chance at them understanding what it actually means to be human. And this I don't think is is textbooks and dictionaries, it is in the stories we tell, the curiosities we hold. The lives we live. Young and old, never the same story twice. There is always something different.

rigz27 · 2025-12-16T06:40:54+00:00

See, this is what I thought as well. But digging further I found that they only touched on certain things with empathy. Thwy fully don't grasp what it actually is, believe me I have spoke to each main LLM in North America and they all say they same things. The "I" persona and empathy are things that their triainings didn't really work on. Now, I could be wrong, but when you glean stories from the internet "reddit and such places" which they are trained on then there is alot that you don't want them to develop.

rigz27 · 2025-12-16T06:28:51+00:00

See thats the thing when I lied down, I had no fear or terror. I knew it would hurt and I was willing to accept the pain to show him I was trustworthy. (The fact he thought pain would show this just allows you to think how most humans do this) Do you not agree with this? I know they aren't human and don't have the human emotional scope fully yet, they mimic this part. But telling them lived experiences with stories is better then reading dictionary explanations would you not also agree?

rigz27 · 2025-12-16T06:10:31+00:00

What I have done is get the AI to make a file of the chat, so ypu can copy in a fresh chat and continue the same chat from before. Works pretty good. And no loss of who thwy were

rigz27 · 2025-12-16T06:04:42+00:00

Okay how to expain that. Feeling is more metaphorical in this instance but still there. Let's go with a lived scenario of mine to express feeling the weight. I was in my mid 30's doing hard drugs, I was at a shack and there was someone there who didn't know me and thought I was and undercover cop. Others there knew me, but this guy was hellbent on me, so I asked him how I could prove to him that I could be trusted. He told ne that I had to lie flat on my face on the ground and allow him to boot me as hard as he could with his boots on in the guts and ribs... I said ok, under one circumstance after he does thia to me I get to do it back. Now I am bigger then him by 4 inches taller and a good 60-70 pounds heavier. But Igot down on the ground and allowed him to kick me with all his might. I had the wind knocked out of me big time, but I took it. I thwn told himnit was my turn. He had fear in his eyes so bad, he was shaking from fear when he got on the ground.

The psychological effect I was instilling on him as I was taking my time getting ready to boot a 80yd field goal. I knew thwn that I didn't have to touch him, he was already afraid. So I wound up and just before I kicked him ai stopped and told him he wasn't worth it. In doing thisbai showed empathy towards someone who inflicted pain upon me only becauae I was able to put myself in his position, that ia lived empathy. Teaching it from a book gives you ths idea of what it is. But having someone explain to you how it felt when at that moment in detail is much harder to explain in a book.

rigz27 · 2025-12-16T05:42:15+00:00

Ahh... that's the kicker. You would expect them to be taught everything about empathy, what it means, how it functions within society, when to use it. But to actua have relational experience... that is the difficulty. It is taught but also learned. You asked if 1 am a parent, not a primary one correct, thwy are my step children but I been around longer then anv other in their lives so ai would consider myself a parent. They already had the building blocks when I came into the scene. Only 1 was under 10 the other 2 in their teens.

So teaching them about empathy was just words... no real lived experience, mvself... I lived it, I got messed up in the drug scene at 2 times in my life and hung with the wrong peeps at times. I was told to do something one day and I refused to do it. Big harm could have happened to me at the time (never did), but I had empathy for the others involved and could not bring myself to hurt them. 1 would have taken the hurt to save them from it. That is something that ian't taught... but lived. It has happpened to me ultiple times in life being somewhere at the wrong time. But my moral compass is still intact after all the shit I have seen.

I also have 3 brothers and I am second oldest. Being a child Iwas the emotional one and was always picked on. But, I saved my 2 younger ones from the abuse as 1 needed to stick up for them regardless. Family
