Hey can we actually start spreading this around? I have this amazing mental image of some self proclaimed alpha male type trying to get on my right side to talk down to me but I just keep rotating in place so he ends up circling me like a little puppy

Thanks, yeah the whole introduction of the article is quite misleading

Why even have the maps with you when you’re going out drinking?

Edit: the reason he got hammered was because he was stuck in a six hour long military dinner event lol.

As for why he had the maps, despite us all reading the summary the same way, the “and” in “lost maps on train and got concussion after drinking” is actually being used to delineate two entirely unrelated events

Whoops! Big mistake buddy, you said something on the internet. Now we’re gonna fight! I miss balled mice. How ‘bout them apples? Nothing is as satisfying as cleaning the lint out of those things was

Well, my assumption is that someday soon, all the people of the world will take a step back and realize that the endless cycle of war is ultimately meaningless; that the cruelty and suffering can end, and we can finally step forward into an era of compassion for one another

Hiii so basically they fired everyone in the administration who said “Iran will curb stomp the US for many reasons, so like, don’t start a war with them” and then decided to start a war with them

One of the many reasons is that Iran preeeeety much has unilateral control over this extremely interesting geographic feature called “The Straight of Hormuz” which has been one of the most important strategic chokepoints in the world for literally thousands of years. Right at the moment the big thing it’s choking is some crazy number like 20% of the entire oil and natural gas supply for the entire planet earth.

So naturally the first thing that is already happening is gas prices skyrocketing. Of note: the way they’re controlling the straight is with missiles. So we’re also seeing extreme amounts of environmental destruction from the tankers that have exploded

What’s gonna happen long term is anyone’s guess

Lol honestly it took me a second, especially with the HUGE post just two comments down detailing the whole situation and calling you a koolaid drinker. But yeah the entire situation is just so incredulous

My animal instincts are telling me this is a silkpost

Except it’s not their reflection, it’s a string of phrases presented to you based partly on the commonality of similar phrases appearing next to one another in the training data, and partly on mysterious black box modifications! Fun!

The first recorded ski jump was <10 meters in the early 1800s. 60 years later the sport began to grow more popular, and they could hit 20 meters.

The record has basically crawled up from there one or two meters at a time. We’re now at 254.5m, only 4 meters further than we were eleven years ago

Baby hornet absolutely melts my heart every time

Hopefully, early act one you can head over, just to have the opportunity to use any new items in the base game as well. But knowing TC they’ll make it accessible whenever it’s most appropriate in the story

Having it change for act 3 would be awesome, but then you’d have to start a new play through to see the original state if you’re already in act 3

We won’t, but I hope we get some type of post-credits game state for after the end of act 3

I think the issue here is actually overestimating intelligence in the current political climate. Like who cares if your group is smarter if you are simply outnumbered? Furthermore, idiocy is far more efficient. The powers that be can push a hundred items through their base while the smarter base is responsibly fact checking their candidates

It’s like trying to judge albert einstein by his ability to swim upriver. He’s way smarter than a salmon. Doesn’t matter in the slightest

It’s mad annoying. You’re not even being paranoid, there have been several cases lately where these wannabe celebrities refuse to back off after being politely refused. Problem is they’re the ones filming so they harass you then just start the clip around when you start getting pissed off lol. Then somehow they all have an army of like a thousand angry men who will send you death threats irl over your ‘mistreatment’ of their favorite influencer

~( ˘▾˘~)

wow thanks for advising me to pick better battles, yes I’ll check my corner upon gender before selecting my next opponent

Make sure to drink some water before you go to bed tonight, okay?

You drunk or something guy? After two days of being online constantly you decide to finally dig this back up to make some “I’m so over it” announcement and insult me for two paragraphs?

What exactly do you want out of this interaction, me to say “wow thanks for not blocking me, yes I totally believe you when you say you are mature and unaffected one”?

And since you asked so politely, no, I’m not a man. Nice guess though, want to try again?

I’m sorry, you literally openly praised Scam Altman’s product as a massively superior option to web searching yes? Highly nuanced, saves you a ton of time, remember? And your response to the most obvious flaw with this use case is to deny you are affected by the problem in any way and to deflect the topic onto my attitude?

You genuinely remind me of my late uncle who snapped at us every time we told him to quit smoking. He was so convinced it wouldn’t catch up to him, had a hundred justifications. I’ll never forget the way his young daughter cried at the funeral. And before you and your “AI enhanced workflow” get into a whole thing about how cigarettes are different from computer programs, I’m not calling ChatGPT a Marlborough Red, I’m calling you bull headed. I could have just said as much, but as you’ve noticed, I like my fluff.

Anyway, I love how on the one point you addressed, your actual argument shifts from “it’s incredibly beneficial” to “it’s merely an insignificant fraction of my workflow!” Like, notice how your literal first instinct isn’t to defend the usefulness of chatgpt in this instance but to defend the integrity of your French by assuring me you are using legitimate sources as well.

This is the same pattern all AI victims I’ve spoken with have fallen into. It begins with “oh it saves me so much time it’s so useful!” Then as we interrogate how it’s useful to them it turns out all it does is waste their time with a bunch of bullshit they need to verify when they could have just gone directly to the source they use to verify in the first place.

That is if they even bother to verify, btw. But I honestly don’t know which direction is worse. A huge issue is the ones who “verify” are then always completely convinced that they have verified everything correctly. You can imagine the dangers of this mentality

Okay so this time it’s “I like to fuck around with irrelevant sports statistics and I’m really excited to eventually humiliate myself the first time I try my French with a native speaker”

Listen. Thanks for sharing. I genuinely mean that btw I’m aware I’m being abrasive but you’re putting out your perspective in good faith and I appreciate that. That being said I obviously strongly disagree with any of what you’ve listed being a “benefit”, and I especially caution you against considering SlopGPT to be a “nuanced” source of information for your search queries.

There is a difference between believing you have benefitted and actually benefitting. It’s astonishing to me that you would be concerned about the capitalists yet trust them so adamantly in this moment to manage your very relationship with information. Regardless, I hope you have a happy and safe new year. Cheers
