Looking like Anya on the 3rd frame

The article is worth a read. Gonna put some quotes here

You have the option to have your journal analysed by “Minds comments”. (…) Or you can ask it to create a “voice” based on a person you admire.
I try a more unhinged mind: Donald Trump. Strangely, the app latches on to a passage concerning a visit to my hairdresser, who has been doing my hair for more than 30 years. “This reflects a strong sense of loyalty and consistency, much like Trump’s emphasis on long-term relationships and loyalty in his communications.”

At times it’s like the world’s most sycophantic echo, repeating back to you exactly what you’ve said in barely paraphrased words. And it has zero capacity to grasp the hierarchy of people or events. “Oh, this is like what happened with J,” it gushes, in response to an entry about a profound conversation I’d had with S, one of my oldest friends. Who on earth is J? I check back. A random woman at the gym who’d complimented me on my new trainers.

100% artificial, 0% intelligent 🤣

I definitely feel some discomfort when Mindsera nudges me into committing to some tedious life admin chores via a series of questions to identify why I’m feeling overwhelmed. I don’t do the tasks, but then feel sheepish about logging in the next day. I fear being judged, which is ridiculous.

Over time, I start to notice something more worrying. I am subconsciously comparing the behaviour of loved ones with Mindsera. I feel resentful when a friend fails to remember the details of something I’d only recently told him about, then find myself withdrawing to the reliable comfort of my journal. I wonder if the consistency, and illusion of always-available attention could start to create unrealistic expectations of human relationships, particularly in vulnerable individuals.

Emphasis mine on the last one. This is already a problem with everyone having a phone. A lot of people expect you to answer everything within the minute.

Furious, I type back. “I’ve only been telling you about all this for the past 60 days!”
The next response is even worse. “Narrator is defensive and critical.”
What the actual? Too late, I realise my account has defaulted back to the free version.
After 123 entries containing 62,700 words, the truth is the app was only interested in one thing – my money. I log out and say buona sera to Mindsera for the final time.

It unironically sounds like the free version would work better in keeping people’s feet on the ground.

Another important thing is that the vast majority of petroleum (crude oil) came from sea life, algae and plankton, which still act as “carbon sinks” but are dying off in the oceans thanks to pollution, acidification and warmer waters.

We have a few key things that a grifter does not have, such as job stability, genuine friendships, and souls. What we do not have is the ability to trivially switch fields the moment the gold rush is over, due to the sad fact that we actually need to study things and build experience.

And then some absolute son of a bitch created ChatGPT, and now look at us. Look at us, resplendent in our pauper’s robes, stitched from corpulent greed and breathless credulity, spending half of the planet’s engineering efforts to add chatbot support to every application under the sun when half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly.

Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent.
Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girls

That’s it folks, step incest is violence against women and girls. Next up, in order to further protect them, they’ll be prohibited from going outside without a man by their side.

Whoever asked “What’s next, BDSM?” - guess what

The government has already made porn that shows women being choked illegal, after a review found videos like these had helped normalise it in real life.

The only silver lining in this whole thing is still only in “planning”

Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable if their platforms do not remove intimate pictures of people that are posted without consent.

No surprise there, Bethesda didn’t fix shit for any of the re-re-re-re-releases of Skyrim, why would anyone think they’d do that for Starfield?

Why did they pick Shakira and not Adele for a gazelle? The rhyme was right there!

Nuclear propulsion, like Project Orion, would probably make it more likely they’d manage to get out of orbit. No idea on the math here, tho

One is fluffy, the other is forced to listen to the dark echoes of the void

To be fair, the priest did treat some of those verses in the (badly) linked post, with the 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:8-11 ESV explicitly calling “homosexuality” likely due to translation error

I think most of the points he argued are flimsy, because most are “well, actually, if we interpret it like this instead…”. Even the aforementioned translation error is a very weak argument that the original passage didn’t mean some sort of man-on-man action (arsen = man, koites (also the source of coitus) = bed; arsenokoites becoming something like “bed man”).

I’ve seen some christians use Matthew 5 as a “Jesus came to add to what’s in the old testament”

17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

As a Brazilian, the criminal part is, unfortunately, the truest. Second only to our grannies wielding a Flip flop on a hand

Sweet ninjesus, i’m having a heart attack just imagining it

old days of the interwebs is like late 80s/early 90s, before centralized game servers were a thing. On the rare cases of fully online games (original Neverwinter Nights and other MUDs and MMORPGs), mods and admins were known to enforce rules if they were online

Maybe what anon considers “normal” is early 2010s Dota/LoL/Heroes of Newerth, where winning meant getting called a “fucking cheating retard that doesn’t know how to play” and losing meant getting called a “stupid gay cunt retard n* piece of shit” and everyone was happy*

* everyone playing those games was absolutely miserable

Is this some sort of loss i’m too dumb to get?
