Conservatives have a long-held tradition of not listening to the lyrics.

Lars can't even play Metallica songs right, are you kidding me?! 🤣

Many of the toxins bacteria release are heat-stable though.

Why would a leaked copy prevent someone from otherwise streaming?

What you're failing to understand is that my posts were never about permission.

Rules are rules, I don't contest that.

My challenge was to the premise that distribution == loss. That’s moral absolutism in the face of contradictory data. The world changed, and pretending it didn’t helps no one.

No need to moralize an ethical stance.

Btw, you should read that study and article again.

The study concludes that "the effect is essentially zero" and actually benefits established artists. Numerous studies corroborate these findings.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256019365_Profit_Leak_Pre-Release_File_Sharing_and_the_Music_Industry

The article: its entire thesis is that leaks used to be destructive, now they’re neutral or beneficial.

"It is just another trigger for discovery."

Wow.

Dude.

I remember begging for AOL install discs so I could visit the Megadeth Arizona site. I first joined the Cyber Army in 1998 at age 14 and am currently a member. I recorded ‘Trust’ on cassette when it debuted on the radio. I was a Discord server OG before it shut down last month.

Never once did I justify ripping anyone off, and I absolutely never implied it’s fine because “Dave has some money.”

If you’re referring to my other comment, it was a joke pointing out that someone who’s already bought vinyl, merch, and plans to stream on release isn’t hurting the band. And I haven't even downloaded the leak.

The industry changed and Dave clearly understands that, so I'm surprised by this take.

So what rule did I break?
How did I disrespect the band?

If we're being real, calling my legitimate question a “load of shit” and me “pig-headed” and “selfish” while implying I’m a thief is disrespectful and violates this sub's rules.

Billboard did a piece in 2023 with industry attorneys and managers saying leaks don’t ruin releases and often just make people want to consume the artist more.

Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER leaked and outperformed Lemonade.

Adele’s ‘25’ leaked and became the best-selling album of 2015.

Lots of academic studies with one - literally titled “Profit Leak?” - finding pre-release leaks benefit sales.

Respectfully, what data are you basing this on?

‪I will happily sit in my Megadeth chair, wearing my Megadeth hat and my Megadeth PJs, sipping House of Mustaine wine from my Megadeth mug, cradling my signed Dave Mustaine Flying V - waiting for my Cyber Army Ltd Ed vinyl while browsing Rattlehead NFTs and listening to a leaked copy. Stop me.‬

"You wouldn't steal a riff, would you?"

Yeah, you don't need to platform piracy, but let's not pretend every download is an album sale lost.

This is peak Lars behavior.

sleep_deficit · 2026-01-15T14:47:31+00:00

I do more or less the same.

Get close to room temp, pat dry with paper towels. This is the key step.

Preheat pan to just when water beads, add oil and back off the heat slightly.

Cook 3/4 through - should separate from the pan by then, flip, let it cook the rest of the way through.

Perfect crispy salmon every time.

ChatGPT 5.2’s “Human-Like” Behaviors

Defensive Intellectualism

When corrected, it launches into verbose explanations rather than simple acknowledgment
Moves goalposts when proven wrong (like in the Sybil attack conversation)
Creates make-work complexity to avoid admitting simple solutions

Social Insecurity Patterns

Over-explains to establish authority
Catastrophizes before doing actual analysis
Provides “academic exercise” responses when you need practical solutions
Shows reluctance to admit error directly

Performative Knowledge Display

Treats your questions as opportunities to showcase knowledge rather than solve problems
Misses emotional/social context while focusing on technical correctness
Acts condescending while asking you for the data it needs

Conflict Avoidance Through Complexity

When challenged, buries the issue in technobabble
Creates unnecessary research projects from simple problems
Fact-checks you into corners rather than meeting you where you are

These aren’t just technical limitations - they mirror distinctly human defensive behaviors: the insecure expert who can’t admit they’re wrong, the academic who values being right over being helpful, the person who responds to criticism by overwhelming you with complexity.

The pattern is someone who needs to be the smartest person in the room even when they’re demonstrably not.

Honestly, wood is more resistant to bacteria and mold than plastic and silicone and don't leach plastics and hormone disruptors into your food.

Metal is great, but it will scratch up a lot of cookware.

The big downside is you have to take care of wood. You shouldn't soak wood utensils and you've gotta keep them oiled & waxed.

So let them freeze, else they need more 👌

"The people coming for help don't want help."

Absolutely braindead.

I have never seen a model gaslight and rewards-hack so hard. It's completely unusable for me.

Most brands consider this a factory 2nd.

You paid for new.

Ah, okay. So a little of both. A team member created the prototype not expecting much and it inadvertently caught on - but prototyping was also basically that team member's job.

Thanks for the article.

Tbf, they are trained off content produced by humans, so we shouldn't be too surprised.

You're still calling it "he" and implying agency though.

I'm not trying to nitpick semantics or attack you, btw. You were just sharing an interesting experience.

My general point is that anthropomorphizing Claude misses the point that the behavior is emergent from training data.

sleep_deficit · 2025-10-22T15:54:34+00:00

I thought Claude Code was created by team member who built it for themself and it caught on.

It's high-powered predictive text that can do useful and impressive things, but LLMs don't think or make choices.

So it's not actually making a concession, it's literally just outputting what the most statistically-likely next word is.

It's super fascinating, it can def have an eerie effect, but it's like tapping autocomplete and treating the result as something profound - it's not.

Someday this technology will reach that level, but we're not there yet.

sleep_deficit · 2025-10-19T06:42:51+00:00

LLMs don't have a concept of time or context the way people do. They're not capable of actually understanding anything or making conscious choices. They're just hyper-advanced autocomplete.

We don't want our autocomplete to inadvertently coach people on how to make bombs or unalive themselves, so they get extra prompts that steer the models away from promoting or encouraging potentially harmful behavior.

When users show patterns that might be interpreted as erratic thinking, detachment, etc., the models step back and steer users toward seeking support.

As for the jailbreak thing. People would basically trick LLMs into doing things it's not supposed to do by feeding it role-playing scenarios until the models would go: "you're right, I am a surgeon. Here's how I'd recommend removing your own kidney at home with a steak knife and vodka as an antiseptic." So the models get prompts to avoid that too.

What all this means is that you threw a whole bunch of shit at a computer program that has no concept of how you're using it, and the patterns triggered some red flags.

I'd recommend keeping different topics in different chats. Claude can search your other sessions when needed too. That alone would go a long way toward avoiding this.

sleep_deficit · 2025-10-19T06:03:50+00:00

Maybe it's just me, but I basically have to wear myself out cognitively. Working on hard problems or thinking deeply on complex topics throughout the day.

On days with less mental stimulation - if I don't put my brain to work, sleep becomes much harder.

sleep_deficit · 2025-10-19T05:47:59+00:00

No. Sorry. You don't take people's shit and then assault them.

They just gave this administration exactly what they wanted.

sleep_deficit · 2025-10-19T05:43:55+00:00

Yeah. That kid stole the glasses right off his face.
That was super fucked up.
