I am a muse. They also call it “being an ideas guy”. While I can utilize some, I am far from knowledgeable enough on every subject to use them all, so I share. Like you, a Human… Or so they tell me.

Any recommendations? It seems a lot of my alternatives are turning heel and I would like more options. Preferably ones not likely to turn heel.

Librarians went to school to learn how to keep order in a library. That does not inherently make them have more information in their heads than the average person, especially regarding things that aren’t books and book organization.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 3 weeks ago:
“Nearly half” of US citizens are right, because about 75% of the US population is functionally or clinically illiterate.
- Comment on Scientists for Future, October 2021: Nuclear Energy is no technology for solving the Climate Crisis 4 weeks ago:
If those are your reservations about Nuclear power educate yourself on the process’ taken with Nuclear waste, how much waste is produced per MW produced, and then compare MW produced vs impact for other energy sources.
- Comment on Scientists for Future, October 2021: Nuclear Energy is no technology for solving the Climate Crisis 4 weeks ago:
I think the big problem is our species went too far too fast, and it was all luck. Couple that with a species that is generally ignorant and unwilling to educate themselves, and we are left with global issues so convoluted that even our smartest struggle to manage them.
- Comment on Scientists for Future, October 2021: Nuclear Energy is no technology for solving the Climate Crisis 4 weeks ago:
I cannot even entertain this “debate” anymore because there isn’t one. Nuclear is superior across the board, even when we include renewables like solar and wind, and I am tried of people not getting that while the world burns.

It’s funny because you said “works with” and not “owned like a dog by”. haha

Trump working with the Russians is not news.
Every country does need to get their shit together yesterday though.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo is amping up its AI search tool but will still let you leave it behind 4 weeks ago:
AI has numerous applications in the Sciences, and is incredibly useful and worthwhile when it is applied correctly.
The problem is the majority of people are uneducated or under-educated, so useful things like AI get turned into toys to appease Grown Babies.

- Comment on Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits 1 month ago:
Not an issue I have to contend with personally as I don’t use anything other than my laptop at home when I want to be on the internet, but a very valid reason to separate NSFW from SFW social media nonetheless.
- Comment on Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits 1 month ago:
In my experience it is better to segregate NSFW and SFW accounts. Not because it is shameful and I don’t want people seeing, but because NSFW floods feeds and I can’t get anything done when encumbered by pretty naked women. lol
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 4 months ago:
They are now at the point of calling me a disgusting person who doesn’t belong in civilized society because I am against the production, and use, of child pornography.
Give me a million attempts and I would never have guessed that is the person I would encounter today. haha
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 4 months ago:
The only people who defend child pornography this hard are pedophiles, and I am not going to continue to argue with a pedophile.
I hope you get the help you desperately need before it is too late.
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 4 months ago:
Victimless crimes are not crimes. Thus producing any pornography is a crime only when it involves violating someone’s rights.
You mean like when someone takes a photo of a minor, removes their clothing to make a sexually explicit image, and uses that image to harass, bully, and extort?
Ah, so you are dumb enough to think it’s bad to defend pedophiles who have not committed a crime against a real person?
Taking a picture of a minor, making that image sexually explicit, and using it to harass, bully, and extort that minor is not a “crime against a real person”?
Damn right, I am defending pedophiles who are being persecuted for being born with that deviation alone. I am also defending pedophiles who satisfy that via any means not harming real people. I will do both till my last breath.
You should stop “defending” their “right” to child pornography and start advocating for them to get real help with the very serious mental disorder that causes them to want sexual activity with a minor instead.
If you argument is that they are disgusting and you don’t want them in society, then so are you.
My argument is that they should not be given child pornography. Your argument is that they should.
The disgusting people I don’t want in society are people who use child pornography, and those who defend their use of child pornography.
Kindly see yourself out and take the rest with you.
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 4 months ago:
What this conversation is about has as much to do with child pornography as hentai with loli characters.
Creating sexually explicit images of minors is child pornography.
You just can’t argue without unsubstantiated accusations, can you?
You literally confirmed my claim in your first sentence, and your last.
When real living people are being murdered and abused in droves, you are still worried more about glorified automated Photoshop and accusing its users of being the same as actual rapists.
Production of child pornography is production of child pornography. It does not need to involve rape. Producing child pornography is a separate crime.
Its users are pedophiles because they are producing child pornography. You are defending them.
These are the facts.
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 4 months ago:
It may not be an identical scenario but I still think it would be fair to say that an AI generated image is not as damaging as a real one.
“The deepfakes are often used to extort, harass or bully minors, she says, and are easy to make because of the many sites and apps that will “nudify” an image.”
