Because the outcome is not the same. That you say it is, doesn't mean it is.

It's precisely not. It's a coping mechanism to deal with the lack of evolution and intelligence.

All this AI stuff just shows how over-dignified programmers are in today's economy, if most of them up to this moment have been doing stuff that can be done by a mindless machine. What do you get the money for? Almost as bad as MDs.

My man, I am not a native English speaker, but, uh... Insufficient examples means exactly there are no examples in its training data. And it struggles a lot because it can't think, it defaults to repeating patterns reinforced during the learning phase. That you put it into its context, you need some special curated version of the rules, while a human can read the documentation version every other human reads and process it, learn it. Then if you get for example Fable and give it those snippets, it WON'T perform at the level it does in other languages. Because it doesn't have that many solved examples of problems to pattern-match. There's no thinking. Even if you do social science, it can't come up with a good idea every paragraph when writing long-form texts, because it doesn't think. It can give a good idea if you ask it for ideas, then you have to trim 6 or 7 bad ones using your own intelligence. The only time it produces a good essay Is when I basically create the whole outline and then put the insights, all the important info into the paragraphs, and just ask the AI to process it into a fully finished, flowing prose. But still, I am the one doing the thinking, AI is like a stupid assistant who happens to know English and various formatting standards (or coding languages) really well, who can organise your thoughts. If you give it too much of its own agency it defaults to boring, useless slop, the longer it processes something.

It's also dependent on the lifestyle, I think. If one were to party all the time and spend time around pretty girls, they would be hornier than just sitting at home. It's hard to get horny reading Ralston's books, way easier when you are out. So it's a kind of self-perpetuating pattern of behaviour, I feel.

@PenguinPablo If you have a very high intelligence and talent to begin with, then maybe. I also know two bipolar people and both are very foolish and hard to deal with during an episode. Not genius at all, normal people, who suffer the condition and need to medicate it.

AI is great for some boring tasks. For example, rewriting academic paper drafts into a completed work. A human has to make a sensible draft and good points, but it saves a lot of time. I can write whatever I want, no care about grammar and errors, just put insights on paper and then have a few rounds with Claude to make it into a flowy, finished text. At the end you have to go through each and every sentence to see if it hadn't garbled the meaning, but it still saves time.

This must be out of spite, like no good-faith person ever would use these AI renditions

@Joshe He needs Canva, but worse?

I mean, self-help content, books and courses, there's one obvious way to market, Google Ads on YouTube. Leo has a lot of potential to market future products, the main channel is for social proof, that this is not some random course scammer posting YouTube ads. But even if someone doesn't have such assets, trust can be manufactured in various ways. That's the devilish nature of marketing, it's way faster and more effective to create a false impression, than honestly grow support for your products from the ground up.

@UnbornTao That does like nothing? It's trivial to convert HTML tags to markdown and the other way around, and you still have to style it in CSS for it to look nice on the blog. Am I missing something? Just adding alt text is the solution.

Thin serif is especially bad in this configuration of colours, white text on black background. It's hard to read, the text gets crushed by the black fill around. Thick sans-serif stands out well on black. Although, the fact that the font size is really big helps in that situation. The sans variant has been a little too large.

I don't like the new font. Nothing on the website is serif. It stands out too much. All the promo materials, all the UI, everything is sans-serif, and only this one thing is serif.

Clip #266 xD, the Bible verses of the TikTok generation Imagine being an internet spirituality scholar in the year 2100.

You can vape psilocin and analogues, you just have to do it skillfully as with DMT or 5-MeO-DMT. Not by randomly burning some mushroom body.

Wow, that is such a stupid take. Haven't watched a single video of that guy yet, but this sentence doesn't make me wanna even start to watch.

Cyclists who want a cassette that makes noises. They want their bike parts to click loudly on purpose, like it's broken, they hate on silent parts. It's so stupid I couldn't believe it at first, thought someone is pranking me.

@aurum Not at this scale, the scale today is bigger than ever. The scale has been ever growing. The system is bigger and bigger, so possible crisis is bigger and bigger.

@aurum There is, the elites are keenly aware of natural resources today and that scarcity of these resources is growing.

Godsend

There is nothing outside consciousness, apart from more consciousness. That's the "multiplicity of Gods." Why in the past? I don't see anyone saying anything different now. Atoms and other people are only imagined to be outside your consciousness, they don't exist outside of consciousness, although consciousness (Infinity) always has the "potential" of "morphing" into them, so in a sense they do exist, but being of consciousness, not outside it, and actualizing these potentials would cease your current experience as this-and-not-other human. (It would get "hidden" as a "potential." )

That's what atoms are. Or other people.

No self, no bad no wrong, just a problem. Actually, many problems. 99 problems, and with the forum at least one. My problem with the forum is that you can't easily fish-out the notable/featured threads. There should be an option to select only them in the "Sort by" option or somewhere, how else are new users supposed to find featured threads from years ago hidden on page 300, the forum is enormous. Value gets lost in the noise. And I can tell, we make a lot of noise in there.

I died a little on the inside when Anastasia confidently said she is already Awakened.

I have never felt anything about her not being a normal girl. It's just that she has a serious, brutal mission to fulfill. That doesn't make her non-binary or man, or whatever. Is being a tomboy redefined as non-binary LGBTQ today?
