it wont insult you for not knowing everything, wont direct you to some other similar problem that doesnt help with your current problem, it basically doesnt ever get mad if you dont tell it to. It would be very nice if it didnt have equally bad flaws on other things.

no no, i mean people should actually start utilizing this bullshit. Anyone can start a company and with some technical knowhow you can add somekind of ai crap to it. companies dont have to make profit or anything useful so there is no pressure to do anything with it.
But if it comes to copyright law not applying to ai companies, why should some rich assholes be only ones exploiting that? It might lead to some additional legal bullshit that excludes this hypotetical kind of ai company, but that would also highlight better that the law benefits only the rich.

i’m kind of grateful for starfield actually. Feels like I can see bethesda as it actually is, even though it was obvious even before. Its so easy to just not care about anything they do. They can release next elderscrolls all they want, its all dead to me. Even if they manage to make it decent i still dont want to even look at it. Its going to cost 80€ or something like that most likely, so that is so much money saved for something more worthwhile too.

I dont think there is anything worse than being imprisoned, even if you are treated well. Though I guess if you don’t know of anything better anyway then maybe its different.
At least writing this made me feel better, no need to read or reply if you dont want to. I don’t mean to dump all this on you, but I cant think of sensible place for it elsewhere. I’m not sure if its even good idea to post this but I want to hear someone else’s thoughts about it for chance, be it you or someone else who happens to see this crazy wall of text.
If i could at least do something about things, it would be so bad but there is nothing I can do, only endure. Talking about it helps a bit, but it doesnt fix the problem. And by hell i mean slow erosion of everything until I have nothing left, not horrible suffering constantly. Its also not few big things but tons of smaller things that together make a mountain. Even if you fix one thing it doesnt remove the mountain and many things on it are things that can’t even be fixed by yourself. If i could at least work towards those things they wouldnt feel bad.
I have also tried looking for help, but healthcare and especially mental healthcare is badly neglected in finland. If you can get treatment then its ok quality, but the thing is you can’t because there is queue that is probably years long. It didnt even used to be like this, but our current government sees anyone who isnt rich as scum and so they cut funding to basic things while giving tax cuts to the rich. They even cut funding from programs and institutions that help people find work, so unemployement has skyrocketed too.
I guess this world feels like hell because so many things just fit into the concept for me. It doesnt feel like that all the time, if it did i would likely just kill myself or go insane and thus escape the suffering. Even if i want to kill myself I know I cant and shouldnt due to many reasons.
I can’t stop caring about important things and i feel like if I seriously try its like mutilating my soul or making myself into something I hate so I cant escape that way either. Also the way I am is also making me suffer, i think. Intelligent enough to see the problems but just stupid enough to not being able to do anything about them but not enough to try anyway.
I can’t do anything about those things because its like society itself has been structured in such way you can’t affect anything by following the rules and if you try it by not following the rules it doesn’t work either and just makes things worse. Best I could do is find someone else trying to do something and try support them, but I can’t find anyone and dont know where to look. I can’t even tell if its me who is crazy for caring or everyone else for not wanting to care about anything. I know I can’t fix world’s problems but doing at least something towards fixing them would be enough for me but I cant do anything alone that feels meaningful enough.
I can’t even wallow in selfpity because I know my problems aren’t even that bad especially compared to many other people. I also know many of my problems are my own fault, be it either mistakes or just not putting in enough effort. But I just can’t find the energy or motivation to put in that effort and don’t even know why.
I didnt want to go into specifics so there are a lot of other things not on the “list” here
I have tried to improve things like starting to go to gym, sit less on computer and go to different groups to be more social, so maybe that will start helping. I also really should try to look for ways how to help other people since good way to help yourself is to help someone else.
But ultimately even all that feels like just enduring by making oneself feel better about things
I have written similar things before and just deleted the whole thing. I guess I can just delete it later if it turns out to be bad idea. Its also going way off topic from the main thread, but at least I enjoy reading other’s off topic conversations here so hopefully its not that bad thing.

That is how the plan is put in action. You cant start planning after the gears are in motion because you have limited time to act. And even if you have unlimited time to act, you still need to be prepared to utilize whatever is happening. All kinds of people, other rich people included, will swarm to benefit from things becoming more open for change. Russia had a revolution that started soviet union and we all know how that turned out in the end and have to pay for it even today in form of how russia currently is.
And I’m not saying dont make the rich to listen if nothing else works, just that if you get to that point it will be start of something that either changes something or cements current status quo even worse and you shouldn’t do that haphazardly or it will just make things worse. In fact, best way to do it would be to plan first what you do once you succeed. Though before even that there needs to be a group dedicated to this.
And as to how to make them allow the change, I think managing to turn the general public against them would be good starting point. Cant do much if majority doesnt take you seriously or considers you a threat. So people should be made to feel less alone and apathetic, which is undoing whatever the rich have been doing so stay in power. This alone wont likely do it, but it will support whatever might come next. At least its something anyone can try to do, for example by doing volunteer work that helps those in need, creating communities for people to be in instead of just rotting in social media and generally attempting to make other people happier and acting like decent human being. And if you feel more rebellious, getting the message across by doing stuff how resistance usually achieves it, like writing the message into somewhere to people to see for example. With enough repetition and time it might start to sink in. Just nothing that would make regular people afraid since that is the tool that benefits the enemy.
Maybe there are better ways to do that, but at least this is what comes to my mind at the moment.

Nothing will improve just with that, only change. It will just lead to horrible oppression first and bloody conflict next after people get enough of that. And after the conflict money just changes owners and new rich will start accumulating wealth at expense of everyone else and cycle begins anew. While times of change are good for… well, changing things there has to be some plan for the change to possibly be actually positive. Otherwise those who are good at exploiting chaos and instability for their own gain will just have free reign.

- Comment on AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals 1 week ago:
I just think lying is wrong word to use here. Outputting false information would be better. Its kind of nitpicky but not really since choice of words affects how people perceive things. In this matter it shifts the blame from the company to their product and also makes it seem more capable than it is since when you think about something lying, it would also mean that something is intelligent enough to lie.

that is also good way to do it, i used to do that too until i noticed the recommendations were actually worth my time. I dont think there is too much malicious meddling with them either since I have had videos recommended i dont think any corporate executive would even want me to see but still i try to be wary.
- Comment on The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day. 2 weeks ago:
you need to clean your watch history. Remove any video you dont want affecting the recommendations and if you accidentally watch some video like that then you need to remove it from history. If you dont have history on then I have no clue how it recommends stuff though. I dont think it bases it on every single thing on the history or maybe it weights recent videos more heavily.
I recently had it recommend way too much certain kinds of videos after i watched a bunch of them and it reverted to what it recommended earlier when i removed most of the ones i watched earlier.
