  Said it better than I did, exactly!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life is letting go⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t think letting go implies giving anything up! I see it as letting go of the emotional load of some memories, but not of the memories themselves. I still choose to remember everything which happened to me, because it’s my past and I can do what I want with it, I just don’t let them burden me with emotions past their Best Before date (which is nonsense in practical terms, but I’m using it metaphorically).

  Plus letting go of some things makes room for new things, like how one will never appreciate a current partner if they’re hung up on an ex. I see the same thing applying to everything else, including humanity ourselves! The old must always let go in order to make room for the new.

  I mean… sure, there are similarities between the activities in the sense that they’re all escapism in one shape or another, but I wouldn’t associate American Pie with Dexter’s Lab, for instance. Nor would I think that a KitKat is the same as a joint.

  It’s always all down to brain chemistry and changing it through various external stimuli/substances in essence, but I strongly believe that each type of escapism generates its own, very specific effects.

  Adults are just children, though, yes. 100% agree with you on that!

  All we need to do is patent that shit as distinct fro wired headphones (“it’s just a backup system, bro, not the main mode of transmission!”), then sell it for ten times its production costs apiece (we’ll outsource to a Freer™ country, of course!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Listening to stuff on your phone with bluetooth headphones has a fringe benefit of letting you know when you forgot your phone somewhere⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Heey, maybe make it multiple wires, have it act as a backup system in case the BT fails!

  On the flipside, the rate at which I forget my phone in a different room has increased significantly since switching to wireless headphones…

  Yep, I get it. Think I have it, used to have a very independent tomcat living with me (he was not my pet, they were all my flatmates, one of the dogs was my brother, so you get an idea of the type of relationships going on). We got along very well, but he LOVED to play-hunt me around the apartment (he had a lot of verticality at his disposal), so much so that he became that lovable sort of annoying. He’d hop in my lap and I’d get that urge to lovingly squish his brains out when massaging his face (he also loved this=))) ).

  Or how I’d hug my first cat Maia, a very Bothered™ and aloof individual in general, giving her a tight but benign squeeze, or would hold her for a couple more seconds once she’d had enough of the touching, already!:))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely think it’s impossible. I think this would land us into Robocop 2, where they started overloading Murphy’s system with thousands of directives (granted, not with the purpose of generating the perfect set of Laws for him) and he just ends up acting like a generic pull-string action figure, becoming useless as a cop.

  Most certainly impossible when attempted by humans, because we’re barely even competent enough to guide ourselves, let alone something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yepyep, agreed! I was referring strictly to the Three Laws as a cautionary element.

  Otherwise, I, too, think the point was to show that the only viable way to approach an equivalent or superior consciousness is as at least an equal, not as an inferior.

  And it makes a lot of sense. There’s not much stopping a person from doing heinous stuff if a body of laws would be the only thing to stop them. I think socialisation plays a much more relevant role in the development of a conscience, of a moral compass, because empathy is a significantly stronger motivator for avoiding doing harm than “because that’s the law.”

  It’s basic child rearing as I see it, if children aren’t socialised, there will be a much higher chance that they won’t understand why doing something would harm another, they won’t see the actual consequences of their actions upon the subject. And if they don’t understand that the subject of their actions is a being just like them, with an internal life and feelings, then they wouldn’t have any reason to not treat the subject as a piece of furniture, or a tool, or any other object one could see around them.

  Saw your comment as mine got posted, exactly! Those were cautionary tales, not how-tos! Like, even I, Robot, the Will Smith vehicle, got this point sorta’ right (although in a kinda’ stupid way), how are tech bros so oblivious of the point?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uuh… skipping over the fact that this is a pointless article, didn’t Asimov himself write the three laws specifically to show it’s a very stupid idea to think a human could cover all possible contingencies through three smart-sounding sentences?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, I completely forgot about those mixes, thank you! Most deffo should be even tastier! I kinda’ started mainling basil and oregano since starting to bake pizzas (it is a crime against humanity to not add basil and oregano to a pizza, that is all) and I forgot other seasonings existed:))

  And, yep! Plus they work with absolutely anything that way, and make meal prep a lot faster if you’re in a rush (I would eat a double-portion of what you posted, honest truth!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Add a pinch of oregano and basil as well (maybe even some freshly ground pepper if you’re looking for a zing) and they’re good to eat as-is! Very seriously, tried this once while high, and now it’s the only way I boil any kind of pasta. Nothing can beat that “core” zest you get when the base is well seasoned! And they complement seasoning cheeses really well, makes for a neat snack!
