Nothing ventured, nothing gained

But also, maybe punch a few assholes, or try killing people that damaged me during my childhood, because I’ve never done violence and I’d like to know what physical dominance feels like. Maybe ask a few girls out to either confirm or finally absolve me of my worthlessness. In one of the loops, I’d gamble. In another loop, I’d try all the drugs that my precarious government position makes difficult to try. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for some pot and LSD. I’d move to a non transmedical society and finally receive HRT, although this wouldn’t have any effect in one single day, so never mind. If I retained my memories each time, then I’d start studying anything and everything that I’m interested in. I’d learn to recite The Silmarillion by heart.

Same here. Had to load the desktop version.

Joke’s on us? I dunno leave me alone.

Maybe he just diffs it to the latest commit and actually only manually reads through what Claude changed? No idea…

I call it pretentious indexing©.

Edit: just realized that indexing doesn’t cover output/presentation, but still.

But I wouldn’t trust them on emotional decisions and interpretation, cause why try to approximate some then when real humans exist.

So TLDR my hot take is Drs have for a while been human machine translator/therapists, which ends up being a pretty damn technical job.

This is such a good summary of my thinking process. Thanks! 😀

Nice! Thanks!

Holy crap. Good thing I didn’t meet her back in those days, oblivious to what she was capable of. I’d ask her out in a heartbeat:

But yeah. I’m against capital punishment. I’m against societal vengeance. If the victim’s loved ones want to beat the crap out of the murderer, I wouldn’t stop them. But to act like you (any criminal justice system) can weigh, quantify, rationalize a person’s acts against their right to live? Nope.

No idea. But probably the same people that take AI summaries at face values, without vetting the sources. Who knows.

Reported for harassment. 🤷‍♀️

And I think that’s important, because it’s very easy to slide down this slippery slope, interpolate a time series forecast in our head and essentially conclude “it’s going downhill so the future must be what our average dystopia predicted” and I don’t think that’s right or even helpful. There’s quite a few things we should improve and our world is on the brink of a bigger societal change again, but change is never just bad. Change is an opportunity to improve the things that are important to us. And to do this, we need all the brilliant minds that see those issues to imagine those improvements, so we should make sure we know what needs to be done when we finally get the chance.

This is really beautiful. I just wish capitalism didn’t stand in the way of science, medicine and altruism.

FINALLY

I wish that was the case. I wish using LLMs required a license and an educational background in media literacy or something.

That’s exactly it. I will never be in a place where I’m comfortable letting an LLM making that decision. No way.

On the other hand, you have zealots insisting that anything that is made by a person is made of 100% divine treasure that they did not give a shit about 2 years ago. Profound but technically meaningless. There was no reason to give a shit about it “2 years ago”, because the dignity of the effort that goes into creating something out of yourself was not yet threatened to become obscured, forgotten, debased, disregarded.

Sweet! Are they still available?
