Interesting read. I agree with the author, especially about the part about the normalizing of deviance. Although I do not interact with agents or LLM’s anywhere close to the scale as the author does, and let’s be honest here - running 8 different agents simultaneously, all with different tasks while telling yourself that you know what is being done, is honestly just poor judgement.

But I can absolutely see how a combination of the over-confident attitude from the LLM, with repeated success from tasks, and tiredness, will eventually lead the user to start assuming that repeated success, and forgetting to actually pay attention to what changes are being done and what the agent isn’t proudly boasting about.

Does NC in this context mean “no contact”, as in 52 days post breakup? I don’t know how long you were seeing each other, but still feeling hurt after 52 days post being cheated on, is completely healthy and understandable. It is a horrible experience that can easily take a toll on your confidence, at minimum. Hell, a ordinary, healthy breakup can do that to people. Breakups leaves scars, it breaks people. It is horrible and gruesome.

There is however nothing anyone can offer you that will make this go away, no matter much they would want to. The boring answer is to be kind to yourself, do not fall for the idea to contact them - ever again, and let time do its thing. I know it sucks to hear, and you probably heard it a lot by now from others by now, and you’re already done with the first 50 days too (great job!).

I’ve spent the last 7 years missing my ex, and honestly I still do, but it isn’t even remotely comparable to how I dealt with the first two years. The hurt you feel at day 52, will hurt less on day 365, on day 1095 you might find yourself thinking about it less and less, until you one day are ready to move on.

And in the meantime, do what ever you need to in order to keep your head above water, one day at a time.

Edit: I just read some of your post history and I read about the breakup and that your ex asked ChatGPT “how to impress girls”… I think that you will hopefully look back on this and ask yourself why the fuck you wasted your time on such a selfish little boy. Perhaps you’re young, and that doesn’t take the hurt away, but it means that you’ll hopefully have an easier way to deal with this experience in a couple of years.

Oh, another content update? How exciting! Thank you for sharing, I had not heard about this.

Get passionately involved, join your driver and yell back. Fuck that cab.

Did you read the official tutorial?

Can’t believe they forgot to add “make no mistakes”

This clearly staged photo op is a interesting choice. I can see how it’s meant to humanize Sam, and portray him as a common, ordinary person. But why does it looks like someone just gave him a compliment and made him flustered?

Hahaha thank you for straightening that out! Funnily enough, Pubg got autocorrected to pung, I’m also a swede!

Wasn’t Overwatch and, uh… Dota? their main games that kept them afloat until Fortnite release? Interesting lore about Pung/Fortnite Unreal engine though!

The funniest thing about the recent Epic nonsense is that Steam will most likely choose to not validate this by making any statements, and still gain from this without lifting a finger.

Maybe this was crooked Hillary’s plot.

I need me a knitted cardigan with a similar theme. Seems like a potential thrift shop find.

There’s your answer. Religious views often lacks that crucial nuance of logic, usually when the point is to blindly place your trust for the future (in some mystic all-knowing, always good-natured spirit) or to serve as some kind of soothing explanation for things hard to find a reason for, are conflicting, like in your example.

My personal opinion is that some people need that comfort in order to cope with things beyond their control. The same lack of scientific/reasonability that is confusing is at the same time the comfort they need. To someone who isn’t sold to this mindset, it can easily lead to confusion and frustration, because it simply goes against any logic applied in any other context in a modern society.

The whole ‘god has a plan for everything’ feels like basically what this statement stems from. The idea that as long as you stick your head down and stay in line, a higher spirit will apparently at some point suddenly decide it’s time to interfere with humanity and see that those who obeyed the (religious) rules will be rewarded and the bad people (I.e., who ever that doesn’t share the religion’s specific morals) will finally face justice. It’s a comforting idea if you are open to it, kind of in the same ballpark as placing your trust/hope in a mythical idea of a structural, global revolution that just happens to support your specific ideals. Only difference is that the latter is scientifically possible to theoretically happen at least.

I doomscroll Lemmy /and/or my most recent find which I found to be an excellent source for AI/LMM related news that’s actually interesting, hackernews. I also keep a radio plugged in next to my bed, with one of the public service radio channel tuned in 24/7. During the night they usually do reruns of various educational shows that aired during the day, no music, no advertisements, just dull, calm voices speaking about some mildly interesting topics, like gardening tips for example. I lower the volume a bit so I have to really focus if I want to actually listen, otherwise it’s just comfortable noise. It helps a bit with my usual overthinking that usually hits whenever I go to bed.

I’ve also dabbed my toes in some ASMR and podcasts, and while I found a couple that sort of worked. The tradeoff is that I have to use my phone speakers to listen to anything streamable, which includes me rolling and tossing during the night, and my phone either ends up under me, or has been tossed around so much that I can’t find it by the next morning. Often with a drained battery too, which is just an annoying way to start your day.

OT but that’s almost unbelievably comical idea for an American tourist in the wild to actually do. Did you get the feeling that people glanced? Did you notice any other differences (besides the lack of lids/straws)?

Has-Been does something scandalous. Internet ensures the internet that the Has-Been is not relevant by gossiping about them, their associates, their family and friends, which apparently nobody cares about.

Just enjoy the meme and shut up.

a few big artists, who ironically aren’t necessarily even that good.

I get your point and all, but I just had to ask - how do you define and separate ‘good’ from ‘bad’ art, though?

I agree with you though, the traditional art world is no different from any other industry under capitalism. It’s filled with sharks, ass kissing and networking. Most either come from fame, and/or from a wealthy family who’s willing to support them. It’s more important to be a driven entrepreneur with good social skills and the right connections, than an artist.

That always sucks. Good to reset tolerance though, it’s needed from time to time.

No. The particular community I’ve recently noticed this issues with is hosted on fedinswf, but it is frequent among other communities and instances as well. It seems to be more frequent with videos/gifs.
