Fellas, is it gay to value your loved ones and oppose violence?

I bought a Kodak shirt and hat when I went to their retail store in Seoul. It’s a nice shirt, and it makes me wish they had apparel that looked as good in the US market.

“Hey boss I made a novel technology that allows you to take photos without film and you can put them on a computer!”

“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU STEVEN”

No hot sauce in the house? Blasphemy!

Seems like it works out-of-box for some users, with commands for some, not at all for others.

What’s the context here? I’m completely unaware.

IIRC this is because companies will post jobs that they want to hire for internally. Either they are required to post these positions publicly, or they benefit from doing so.

Thanks for doing the math, I just wasn’t feeling it today. Cheers!

I also found the engagement rings really unsettling. The reason I find my example more worrying is because of the dissonance between humanization and dehumanization within the same action.

Say you were to replace an AI boyfriend with a real person in a cage, forcibly made to respond and tortured/drugged when giving a unsatisfactory response. If the user never became aware of this cruelty, they would perceive this change as an improvement (responses became more human). These users desperately argue that their AI boyfriends are processing emotion, love, and understanding like humans do, but continue to treat their AI boyfriends as sub-human.

Imagine if you had a partner who punished your undesirable behaviors by spiking you with amnesia-inducing drugs and training you to behave exactly how they want you to. Keep in mind that this has definitely happened to real people, and any decent person would identify the perpetrator as a criminal and abuser.

Terrifying.

EDIT: Fellow men, do better. The bar has gotten SO FUCKING LOW.

I find it depressing that many of the users trying to salvage their 4o boyfriends are stuck so far down the rabbit hole that they don’t see how creepy the entire premise is.

You just lost your AI boyfriend, so now you’re frantically archiving every conversation you’ve had with him (it), feeding the archive to the new model, and conditioning him (it) to behave exactly how you want…

In their minds, the AI boyfriends are legitimate partners and have some amount of humanity inside them… so where is the line between conditioning and abuse?

I wonder how many messages you’d have to send to your GPT-partner in a year to spend more water/energy than it takes to keep a human alive?

Cadence of Hyrule’s jazzy Song of Storms rendition. It’s very fitting as a ringtone for those out of the loop, and those in the loop usually get a kick out of it.

Jerrymander 🤦‍♂️

What if I were to tell you that some people oppose shitty tactics coming from anybody, not just as a ‘gotcha’ against one side?

I am a sucker for Gulden’s spicy brown mustard… it’s the only mustard that I like for every use of mustard. Dijon, honey, and standard mustard all have a specific niche for me.

I don’t think it’s fair to think of model training as a one-and-done situation. It’s not like deepseek was designed and trained in one attempt. Every iteration of these models will require retraining until we have better continual learning implementations. Even when models are run locally, downloads signify demand, and demand calls for improved models, which means more training and testing is required.

My point is that your 3.8 Engineering/Humanities assignment is not a product that needs to marketed to the masses. 5k words in that space is easy, and I think this because I have done the same thing in the same field (Engr).

12k words isn’t a huge amount, but as a published sci-fi writer you already understand that fictional writing is a saturated market with brutal competition, and publisher deal deadlines can be brutal too.

Do you think your 5k words in a day were written well enough for someone to pay for it? Homework is not a product you have to market.

If I ever meet someone who boasts about climbing Everest, I will be sure to ask them questions like “How many dead bodies and how much trash did you see?” and “Does it smell like doodoo the whole way up, or does it get cold enough that you can’t smell the piles upon piles of human shit?”

You know that thing where stick someone in a latex sack and suck all the air out of it so it compresses them? I feel like she would be into that.

Thanks for the writeup - I can’t believe they claimed anything about keeping data safe while building the website so poorly…
