Our designers forced miro on us. It was so horrific I told them even Google docs is better for this. They laughed it off condescendingly.

We shouldn’t underestimate the sentience of insects. Some ants passed the mirror test—a test of self awareness.

because passing time without a smartphone is just too darn hard.

Ikr. Lemmy and piefed are gifts to humanity.

I think we are becoming more and more aware of the exploits of the rich.

Why didn’t the toilet paper cross the street?

fair enough. I did tell it the poem existed. I first described a made up poem vaguely and asked who wrote it. It gave a name.

Then I asked chatgpt to recite the poem as written by the poet. It refused and said it was copyrighted. 😆

Ask it to paraphrase a poem about <some made up shit> by <some poet>.

Edit: to be more precise I first described a made up poem vaguely and asked who wrote it and what was the name of the poem. It hallucinated those things. It even gave me a paraphrasing of it.

This guy is not a neuroscientist. He’s a VC trying to cope from all the money he flushed down the ai toilet.

What a clown.

I have a fear of heights. In fear, I go back to what I was taught during childhood. I pray to God to save me even though I’m an agnostic now.

Does that count as a superstition?

AI is not good for humanity. It’s like asking

What exciting new variations of covid will we see in the next 10 years?

There is with near certainty someone who feels shamed, hated, less because of those same people.

Maybe quite indirectly in ways I don’t know about. Our community doesn’t preach, shame, or discriminate against other religions.

But overall the religion does. You definitely gave me something to think about.

I left the religion I was born into only inside my mind. I still go through every “ritual” that comes with it mechanically but subconsciously I lack belief.

I get lots of support and positive emotions from my community. It’s not worth losing it.

I really appreciate you putting so much effort into writing such quality advice!

If a new income source is not within reach, you can consider moving to a remote village. The few months of savings can last years.

There are always small, low stress jobs to survive. For example volunteering to teach at a school, help farmers etc for accommodation and food.

There are attractive qualities besides money like personality, kindness etc. So it happens sometimes.

Not that different from real life cults. But online cults are out in the open like on reddit or lemmy. The obsession and insanity is visible for everyone to see.

No we just pump the codebases full of slop during our day jobs. At night we run a consultancy that charges 10x to fix the mess.

But just between us the slop is unfixable. 😉

I would do that but I want to stay logged in on some websites like lichess.

The login scene is so terrible nowadays with 2fa, passkeys etc. It’s not as easy as just remembering a password or using a simple password manager.
