You keep focusing on life and death physical conditions. Most therapy is not about life and death issues.

Good doctors do tell their patients to eat better and get exercise to address a massive amount of issues. The patient has to put all the work in.

Predictive models and other computing processes do not have feelings or sensations because they don’t have nerves or any other senses. They are a complex process that has output based on input, but like a magic 8 ball with no agency or thought process.

Reducing biology to just cause and effect is like saying rivers and oceans are the same thing because they both involve moving water, ignoring literally everything else that makes them different.

Midwestern aversion to spices applies to language too.

Cool, cool. While doing multiple things can slightly improve the chances of me remembering someone’s name until the next time I sleep when my brain flushes anything it doesn’t consider important that it didn’t drop already. Writing names down does not work for me as a long term solution, but it can be helpful in a short window.

I tried literally every possible approach over decades and nothing sticks for names of people I don’t interact with often. Sometimes my brain does remember a few people’s names, but I have no control over when it works and when it doesn’t.

My favorite thing at work is our photo directory! It lets me see the person to connect my memories to their name in an email or meeting roster because I remember literally everything else about a person except their name when it is relevant. My brain just doesn’t consider names to be important I guess.

If that was true then consent is meaningless because people are just predictive models with no agency to give consent.

Maybe your comparison is terrible?

Saying interactions with LLMs doesn’t involve consent isn’t advocating for any particular action, it is saying that consent is not relevant so it doesn’t matter what people do.

I would discourage people from cybering or any interaction with the big LLMs really because their design is to encourage constant use and that is a problem not limited to sexual urges.

No one said the words I quoted?

Ok.

I tried that and it didn’t work, just like all the other memory tricks. Hell, I talk to four friends online almost every single day for over a decade and occasionally one of their names slips my mind.

ADHD sure makes social interactions fun!

I think it’s useful to bring attention to the fact that this isn’t water being used by the data center for operations, but for its construction.

Oh, I guess them stealing 29 million gallons of water is fine because it was during construction then. Great point, not completely ridiculous.

It looks like yet anther Santa interacts with someone down on their luck to discover the real meaning of Xmas so basically the holiday version of Marvel movies.

Hell yeah, I’m not a big fan of watching Emo’s shtick on recordings but seeing him open for Weird Al let me see how good Emo is in person doing his version of standup and interacting with the audience.

That tour really drive home how much musical talent Weird Al’s band has without the costumes or showmanship of the bigger tours. All of that is just icing on top of the music.

Dildos aren’t smart enough to give meaningful informed consent to sexual intimacy.

sexually harassing that poor AI

I think my eyes hurt from rolling too far.

My experience varies widely. Out of a half dozen different experiences the two men actually listened and prompted something actionable that addressed the issues although one was far better than the other. The other 3 or 4 were women and just leaned into gendered stereotypes because maybe ‘that was the real issue’ and not what I was talking about.

I’m sure that there are amazing women who are therapists for men, but like most things it can be hard to understand nuance without personal experience and it is important for a therapist to actually understand what you are saying and why you are saying it to resolve anything.

The paperclip maximizer is just capitalism, and has been practiced by people for centuries. Of course an AI taught by capitalists would replicate that behavior.

Dozy Don loves to project!

While it would probably be better if it was visible to both admins and mods, or at least the choice to also share with mods, but then again if the admin doesn’t consider the reports reliable there really wouldn’t be a reason for mods to take them into account.

There are a number of instances that abuse the modlog and filtering their crap out is a good approach.
