Butters

I got Gemini Advanced since last week because it came with a free 2-month trial of Google One (2TB package which was 1 step above my old package so why not). It works surprisingly well but it's unable to generate images. Same thing could have been done in GPT-4 which I had before, but Gemini Advanced feels more personal, like it has more social intelligence. Would love to try Claude sometime soon, heard good things. @mmKay I think that's just a quirk of using free version, could say the same about GPT 3.5 which is just poor once you're used to 4.0.

That's how I felt too, just put a smile on my face reading all the happy comments.

Interesting I guess, but very broad and kind of confusing. This is why Actualized videos are so powerful is because they're practical.

I think were talking about different things. I didn't mean do bad things onto people, I meant like I'm a loner and I feel that to get more out of life I need to give more, which goes against the "help yourself first" philosophy. That feels more like help others to help yourself.

Because he can do whatever he wants. He doesn't subscribe to actualized.org ideas, just does his stuff.

If you have a decent laptop you can run Fooocus (stable diffusion) to generate AI images and it has no filter

Right now when I go to the actualized.org domain it redirects to https://actualized.org/507.shtml and gives a 404 error. The forum works, for now, but was also down for me 90 minutes ago.

I've found another good Reiki ASMR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQX3tBxzfAU Reiki has always worked for me when going to a healer in-person but it works through the screen as well, at least for me.

Oh thank God, I was actually about to post a thread on this because I really thought you didn't understand Rogan and it triggered me lol.

How to make a girl orgasm pt 2?

Think of her as a skeleton.

@Schizophonia so everyone is kind to others most of the time? Ive always been a loner but I think to be more successful I need to think more about others interest before my own.

Charlie Morgan on YouTube. This is the video that got me interested: But the real value is in his longform content, like this one:

My first assumption was some sort of government trying to silence the truth. Btw I once went to a north Korean news website and later I read these all have mallware on them, go figure. I didn't download anything though, just visited the home page.

@LastThursday but what about starting a business? Aren't very successful people those who put others first. I'm still confused about this.

I am so happy and grateful now that actualized forum is back online ❤️

Do you know what software is used for making the video (not the voice over)?

Universities have always had a strong protest culture, nothing new.

For me it's good to take a break from Actualized sometimes, mostly the forums. Too much of it can make me feel inauthentic.

I asked Dall-E 3 to draw a picture of life on Kepler-442b; one of the most likely planets to have life on it. Kepler-442b is a nearly Earth-sized planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star, which is a type K dwarf star. This planet is thought to have good conditions for liquid water, a critical ingredient for life as we know it. I asked why everything is red and it says: I asked for another picture and got this: I think it's pretty cool. There's a few other planets that could inhabit life: Kepler-442b is one of the top candidates. It's a nearly Earth-sized planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star, which is a type K dwarf star. This planet is thought to have good conditions for liquid water, a critical ingredient for life as we know it. Proxima Centauri b is another intriguing candidate, orbiting the closest star to the Sun. It's also within its star's habitable zone, but its star, an M-dwarf, is very active, often emitting flares that could affect the planet's atmosphere and potential for life. TRAPPIST-1 system is also notable with several Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone of an ultra-cool dwarf star. This system's unique configuration of multiple potentially habitable planets makes it a prime target for future studies concerning exoplanetary atmospheres and potential biosignatures. Leo should know which planet aliens actually come from.

I watched the video that Leo shared on his blog last night: And although I'm excited about the future of AI, it also makes me sad and hopeless for these reasons: 1. To think that in the near future people will just be able to manifest anything directly into form, while I have to go through suffering and be patient when manifesting my dream reality. This seems unfair. 2. To think of all the lost jobs of creatives, to think that there is no real future for human creativity just saddens me. 3. To realize that AI will get so clever you have no idea what's real anymore. Even with safeguards in place, the AI could technically fool us, I guess. 4. Learning new digital skills seems a waste of time. I'm learning video editing right now but that will be obsolete. Any creative endeavor will be obsolete in the near future it seems. The only thing I think will go up in value is human-to-human contact; seminars, social gatherings, 1-on-1 coaching etc. And perhaps in the short run manual skilled labor. I believed that there will always be a role for some human to bring their expertise, but this video makes it seem like in the future people will go "make me a movie about XYZ" and AI will literally create that movie with human-like creativity. I picture this as some VR, AR, AI pleasure dome of instant gratification and instant manifestation, but maybe I'm wrong here.

I'm going to make a case that you should be proud of the work you do. After running a successful Etsy shop for the past 3.5 years it all came crashing down and I realized: I should just focus on what I'm passionate about, period. Why is that? Because let's say you work on your business 8 hours a day. Every thought, feeling, emotion, every Youtube video, every article you read, it all goes into your subconscious mind. When you do something you're passionate about, those 8 hours will turn into positive energy and feeling good about yourself. Else, those 8 hours turn into stress and discomfort. The worst thing that can happen is you actually become successful in something you're not passionate about, because now you have cords tying you to this business (income, staff, social pressure). Then it can be like you're living someone else's passion. So it's almost worst being a miserable lawyer working 80 hours a week than being a slightly dissatisfied toilet cleaner working 40. At least there you have more spare time. You can actually never be actually successful doing something you're not passionate about, here's why: Most people are employed. ChatGPT 4 says 85% - 90%, that means that around 10% are business owners, a very small percentage. Of those people, most aren't creatives. Most self-employed people are painting houses, running a corner store, finance, health, very useful contributions to society, their economic value is easily measured and you could say represents their value. So of this 10%, perhaps 1% are creatives. From that tiny tiny pool, the only way to stand out and create art / value is to create with passion. So the only thing to do is the thing you want to do. Don't give any thought to where the money is going to come from. The highest paid skill in our society for any creative is the ability to focus on one thing for an extended period of time. True creativity is highly valuable. And if you are currently not proud of your work that's fine, I was never proud of my dayjob work, this advice is meant for those starting a business. Don't go where the money is, do what you're passionate about.

Yet another video talking about AI as being a hype (sort of). Very interesting:

If anyone is interested in reading the Bible without reading anything, you might enjoy this: Sidenote; if anyone knows how to generate THAT many images + voice over without spending weeks or months, let me know 😂

That sounds fantastic, nice to hear. Whenever I get sick and sleep the whole day I realize how busy I usually am. So ironically for me it's almost always nice to get sick, as long as I get better.
