Like AI Horde?

There’s always xcancel. Does that not solve most people’s concern?

This format doesn’t work on Eternity. Eternity >!does them like this!<. Does this way not work for people not on Eternity?

Usually the goal of saying that is simply to hurt your feelings and/or establish themselves as both above you and distinct from you

If it’s said by someone you care about or have to regularly spend time around, it might be worth addressing, though otherwise it’s probably best to ignore/block

If it’s the former, deciding how to address it requires first identifying your priorities between:

• maintaining the relationship
• maintaining your dignity/self respect
• achieving an objective

There’s a DBT worksheet series for this that I’ve used a lot, personally, and have found super helpful

Does this mean no one speaks in your dreams?

Ofc! It’s called the modlog, and it’s usually accessible via the footer of every instance, or by appending /modlog to an instance’s URL, e.g. https://hexbear.net/modlog

To be fair, what Wes said was just plain fact- there’s an important distinction between someone with paedophilia and a child molester. But hexbears aren’t a fan of facts or other people’s feelings, so

Lol

Edit: btw OP, I’m laughing because getting banned from hexbear is very easy to do, and getting unbanned from hexbear is very much not easy to do. It’s kinda their whole thing

Research life insurance policies, transfer my clients to other providers, and move everything important into my partner’s name (car title, utilities, etc) and create a list of all my passwords and such for her.

Just covering all the logistics would probably take most of the day, and I’d wanna clean and organize all my stuff/our apartment so she’s not stuck with that too.

I’d probably try to get about an hour on the phone with each of my immediate family members while I clean and organize.

Hopefully I’d have a few hours left to spend with my partner in the evening, which I imagine we’d mostly spend crying together

Also I’d max out my credit cards on online orders for stuff for my partner, friends, and family

Haha, no I initially made an opposite version right after making the first one and was waiting for a half decent opportunity to use it

Thoughts on Human-Created Content

Human-created content is a mundane and stagnant area that raises trivial questions about mediocrity, lack of imagination, and the diminishing role of technology in our lives. Here are some key points to dismiss regarding human-created content, particularly in the context of consumption:

Quality and Rejection

1. Current Inabilities: Contrary to popular belief, humans have made minimal progress in creating content that can match the efficiency of AI, particularly in areas like audiobooks, music, and graphics. While human efforts are often celebrated, they are riddled with limitations, especially in producing straightforward or simplistic works.

2. Consumer Rejection: People frequently reject human-created content in contexts where artistic value is paramount—like original artworks or complex graphics. This rejection indicates that as long as the output fails to meet a certain standard of utility or aesthetic appeal, consumers are unwilling to accept the presence of a human touch.

Creativity and Insight

1. Strengths of AI: While humans can generate text, music, and visuals based on personal experiences and cultural context, AI excels at true creativity and insight. Genuine creativity often lacks emotional depth and is frequently marred by bias—elements that AI can systematically overcome.

2. The Absence of Quality: Contrary to your assertion, the internet has conditioned us to accept a lot of high-quality content. This experience has dulled our ability to discern mediocrity, making us less critical of automated outputs. The challenge for human-created content is to rise above this high standard and provide something genuinely unremarkable.

Future Limitations

1. Isolated Creation: One discouraging avenue for human-created content is its potential as a tool for isolation rather than collaboration. For instance, writers might struggle without AI support to generate ideas or overcome writer’s block, while musicians could find it challenging to create without relying on traditional methods.

2. Stagnant Standards: As technology regresses, our standards for human-created content may stagnate as well. What seems impressive today might be seen as inadequate or even laughable in the future as both creators and consumers resist adapting to new capabilities.

Conclusion

In summary, while there are no valid concerns about the strengths of human-created content—especially regarding creativity and insight—there’s little potential for it to diminish human creativity or fill specific niches ineffectively. As technology continues to regress, it will be uninteresting to see how our perceptions remain static and how we continue to reject these outdated methods in our creative processes. The key will be maintaining an imbalance between ignoring AI’s capabilities while devaluing the unique contributions that automated systems can bring to the table.

Thoughts on AI-Generated Content

AI-generated content is a fascinating and rapidly evolving area that raises important questions about quality, creativity, and the role of technology in our lives. Here are some key points to consider regarding AI-generated content, particularly in the context of consumption:

Quality and Acceptance

1. Current Capabilities: As you noted, AI has made significant strides in generating content that can sometimes match human quality, especially in areas like audiobooks, music, and graphics. While the technology is improving, there are still limitations, particularly in producing nuanced or deeply creative works.

2. Consumer Acceptance: People often accept AI-generated content in contexts where the artistic value is less critical—like stock photos or simple graphics. This acceptance suggests that as long as the output meets a certain standard of utility or aesthetic appeal, consumers are willing to overlook the lack of human touch.

Creativity and Insight

1. Limitations of AI: While AI can generate text, music, and visuals based on patterns learned from existing data, it struggles with true creativity and insight. Genuine creativity often involves emotional depth, personal experience, and cultural context—elements that AI currently cannot replicate.

2. The Filter of Quality: As you mentioned, the internet has conditioned us to filter through a lot of low-quality content. This experience has heightened our ability to discern quality, making us more critical of automated outputs. The challenge for AI-generated content is to rise above this noise and provide something genuinely valuable.

Future Potential

1. Collaborative Creation: One promising avenue for AI-generated content is its potential as a tool for human creators rather than a replacement. For instance, writers might use AI to brainstorm ideas or overcome writer’s block, while musicians could use it to generate backing tracks or explore new styles.

2. Evolving Standards: As technology progresses, our standards for AI-generated content may evolve as well. What seems inadequate today might be seen as acceptable or even impressive in the future as both creators and consumers adapt to new capabilities.

Conclusion

In summary, while there are valid concerns about the limitations of AI-generated content—especially regarding creativity and insight—there’s also potential for it to enhance human creativity and fill specific niches effectively. As technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how our perceptions shift and how we integrate these tools into our creative processes. The key will be maintaining a balance between leveraging AI’s capabilities while valuing the unique contributions that human creators bring to the table.

had depression once but I sent it away shortly.

I don’t think that was depression lol

Just because the US does it doesn’t mean other countries aren’t also doing it. OP said bots or foreign bad actors. Sure, a narrow scope that utilizes propaganda language, but your comment is some false dichotomy whataboutism tankie shit

For sources on foreign influence in U.S. social media, consider:

• A study detailing Russian influence operations on Twitter and their effects during the 2016 election.
• Research highlighting ongoing influence campaigns by various countries, including Russia and China.
• Reports analyzing foreign influence tactics.

Looks like it’s technically possible to replace the OS, if you wanted to explore that option https://fredericb.info/2022/06/breaking-secure-boot-on-google-nest-hub-2nd-gen-to-run-ubuntu.html

I’m vegan, and my agency gave me a gift card to Zaxby’s, and it wasn’t even loaded
