@bazera Interesting analysis. Do you think with AI replacing low level jobs, new entry level people entering the workforce are missing out on learning from the ground up to be able to troubleshoot, asses and review what AI produces? An experience gap is being created. Or do you think the system will need a reshuffle to train and teach undergrads to be able to assess and review what AI produces? It appears a gap could be created where there are those with the wisdom to know when there is code slop, and those who do not have the experience to know what is shit and what isn't. This would necessitate a different set of tools being taught prior to entering the workforce. Dunno, just spitballing. I am not a coder at all.

All the transhumanists coming out of the woodwork 💀

100%

I would rather be dead than have an AI boyfriend! As an aside - we tried to use AI to do some pricing/estimating for construction work.... Lets just say, consumer grade shit has a long way to go. If it can ever estimate for commercial construction.

No, not at all. I think it's a line of questioning I raised for everyone reading - not just you specifically. I thought it might point to mechanisms behind how we come to conclusions. How we become certain. What we trust. I think there has to be a choice involved there.

As in, vision, hearing, smell etc Just a random question with no relation - something I think on a lot ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭

@UnbornTao curious - do you trust all your sensing faculties? As in, you are confident you claim them to be yours and yours alone? Unaltered, untampered?

@theleelajoker alright then let's just forget it all GG

Ralston's apprentice? He's a good lad 🙂

Brendon has even taken on Ralston's accent and intonation. Ah-while. EXXXXspirianSEEE. AHe-where.

@oOo Do you think spirituality/personal development is done on a forum?

Wait, but creativity isn't the opposite of restraint? @Cred Constrain often increases creativity. Limitation. What about architecture, engineering, music composition? These require planning, revision, iteration, delayed gratification. In my experience original work comes from depth + refinement. Unless you are using you terms in a nuanced way that requires more elaboration? I might be misunderstanding your points - impulsivity does not equal creativity. Low impulsivity does not equal zero or low creativity. For myself creativity is a composite of things akin to divergent thinking, pattern recombination, cognitive flexibility, working memory, persistence etc. @Leo Gura Do we have a video on creativity? Man I will be ASHAMED if there is one and I missed it >.<

Weaponizing truth.

The other side of it is like suddenly being a different person ! I was very surprised at how much shame I had, and could not see it or identify it within me.

Do you consider this to point to the individual who experiences noise disturbances as being neurodiverse?

@LastThursday I think this is guilt actually - different from shame. This is just within my understanding but guilt is 'I did wrong, I performed a wrong action'. Guilt is how we act out in reality. Shame is based around 'I AM wrong, I am defective in some way'. I often see people confusing the two notions. And it is easy to do so - as often we can feel guilty for doing a wrong action - and this can feed shame. Hence the shame-guilt spiral many fall into. Guilt is behaviour based, shame is identity based. Which is why I believe internalised shame is so much more detrimental and spawns all sorts of self worth issues. It threatens belonging - exposure as someone bad leads to being cast out. It has no clear repair path; I am broken as opposed to 'it broke, I'll fix it'. And shame also tends to be formed very early in development, leading us to really cement it into our nervous systems and form part of what we genuinely believe to be our personalities. Being mocked, ignored, punished for emotions, compared. All shame inducing. Shame is formed on distorted conclusions made in moments of vulnerability. We isolate from shame. Guilt tends to connect - go repair the thing. Shame forces us into silence. Hide. Don't be seen. I've done a lot of personal work and healing from extensive trauma - and shame was my biggest issue I had to overcome. I personally believe most people are unaware of their own internalised shame patterns and beliefs.

@Sandroew @Miguel1 I'll voicecap my feral accent for fun and upload it

@CARDOZZO just got onto this myself!!!!

My rejection line is 'Hey, I am really flattered. Chops for asking and putting it out there - don't ask, don't get, right? But I am not interested in romantic or sexual relationships at the moment' Or end with 'I have a partner, so to be clear, I am not interested in any sort of sexual relationship' or a variant of the above (if it comes up, I do not just insert it in there randomly). If I pick up on someone's intentions I ask them if I am reading them correctly - then I make my stance clear, if needed. I leave it at that. If they ask me why I give them honest feedback. I dunno I think I am unusual for a woman. I am more candid. I have always approached men and been explicit re my interest and intentions.

In my experience this is rare. And the mark of a highly intelligent, mature individual. I cannot even think of more than one or two cases in my life who have exemplified this. The human mind craves certainty so it can predict the future. Predicting the future links back to survival. The ability to sit with cognitive dissonance and understand it - without suppressing one side to enable certainty - RARE. I think it is part how we are raised, educated - but also survival based programming of the brain that feeds into this mechanism. Theres a lot working against us

Always assumptions and inferences. Every time. People trust their intuitive leaps more than the evidence presented before them.

Do you think it could be a result of incorrect or false meaning making? 'I experienced trauma, therefor I am bad, I deserved it, I did something to cause it' It is sometimes easier to blame ourselves than the rest of the world. It can be too much to see the world as busted. Much easier to think we did something to 'cause' the badness. The brain attempting to correct something to prevent it happening again. Only this can cause internalised shame. Shame is a powerful self sabotage mechanism. There are many possibilities. And interesting question to ponder...

Wow, WHAT! Not even 'up the duff" ? (preggers)

@Joshe @Leo Gura I a nub >.< Americans have the better idioms: Kneehigh to a grasshopper, piece of cake, break a leg, under the weather, spill the beans, better late than never, speak of the devil, bite the bullet etc Australians, being the criminal colony we are, have busted variations: Flat out like a lizard drinking, as mad as a cut snake, too right, couldn't organise a piss up at a brewery, spit the dummy, dog's breakfast, pull your head in, give it a burl, a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock, on a good wicket, up the duff etc

I haven't heard this one Ruthlessly poaching this phrase, if you do not mind. I normally roll with ' Like water on Teflon, baby'
