Fun fact: You are unique and that’s good. Don’t let other people’s opinion drag you down.

that shows you have a lack of life experience.

But seriously, don’t get yourself worked up over an issue that’s not worth it.

Plot twist: I have two of them. Because of fear of losing it.

Yeah, I know that. Suppressed memories are like “locked drawers”, and if you open them, all of that mess is overwhelming. That is why you are supposed to open them slowly, one after one. Sorry your therapist didn’t tell you that.

Like, I think cats and lots of other animals have gaze detection or sth.

They sleep. I look at them. At that exact moment they shake , and run away. Happened so many times, it can’t all be coincidences.

Most impressive case was when I was sitting in a garden, doing nothing for like an hour. I notice there’s a black dot on the wall in front of me, but I don’t care. After like ten minutes or so, I get interested and ask myself, what is that black dot? I look at it and try to focus, and at that fucking moment I notice it’s a lizard, and it runs away like if it was panicking.

I use to say that inertia equals mass, brain mass.

There’s a certain subset of reality that is non-physical and timeless, called “ideas”.

Look on the internet for “Platon ideas” to find out more.

Cannot confirm.

I use google maps regularly, and it mostly works fine.

However, google search engine (and youtube recommendations) have gone on a steeply downhill rollercoaster ride. Nowadays, I have difficulty researching even the most basic topics on Google, because it is so clustered with ads that I cannot tell anymore whether any website is genuine or trying to scam me.

We need a google that uses AI/ML to hunt and de-rank the 1800 word essay web pages that answer the question, “how long should you microwave a baked potato for?”

“In 1863, county cork in Ireland, Shamus O’Toole created the world first commercial potato farm. He’d go on to…”

Exactly what it feels like if I’m asked to “write an 700-word article” somehow. Most of it is just filler material, really.

Yeah, life does give one lemons sometimes. I’m sorry for your unfortunate circumstances. I have been in very deep shit as well. One feels treated unfairly. Society as a whole has many problems. One of them is unleashing all its anger on a few, innocent individuals. Please remember, that a lot of your problems are not your fault, and there is no point in feeling bad for them.

As to the sexuality: I completely get your point. People are weird when it comes to sex. I believe that a lot of people have emotional problems, just that they don’t express most of the time. But when it comes to sex, they can’t hide it anymore. That is why so many people are so completely weird when it comes to sex.

I would suggest looking out for people who are emotionally healthy, like girls who are truly satisfied with themself. I believe that they are emotionally stronger, and therefore have fewer issues overall, especially deep inside; Which is relevant when you want to have a long-term relationship with them. That is just my piece of advice, I hope it gives you some clarity.

Edgy comment here but:

In another thread we were discussing AI-generated CSAM. Thread:

https://feddit.de/post/6315841

You would probably agree, then, that such material is not problematic, because even if it looks like CSAM, and it quacks like CSAM, it is not CSAM, therefore we don’t have to take it seriously or regulate it in similar ways that we do regulate actual CSAM, if I continue your logic, no?

I believe that at a certain point, “agency” is an emergent feature. That means that, while all the single bits are well understood probability-wise, the total picture is still more than that.

It makes sense to me to accept that if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, then it is a duck, for a lot (but not all) of important purposes.

I disagree. This is no meaningful talking point. It doesn’t help anyone in practice. Sure, it clears legal questions of responsibility (and I’m not even sure about that one in the future), but apart from that, making an artificial distinction between a human and a looks-and-acts-like-human, provides no real-world value.

Probably even if the data is incomplete or fragmented, humans can still draw value from it.

Bullshit.

It should instead read:

“Humans were stupid and taught a ChatBot how to cheat and lie.”

I like to say that mass equals inertia.

So yes, our brains have a lot of inertia, because they have a lot of mass.

But a job that is mostly shifting information around, be it spreadsheets, phone calls or art, all of that is slowly getting into reach of being done by AI.

Seems rather fast to me.

yes, that was it. Quite shocking to watch. I think that these things will be very real in maybe ten years. I’m quite afraid of it.

Netflix has a documentary about it, it’s quite good. I watched it yesterday, but forgot its name.

First of all, you’re not “too sensitive”. There is no such thing. You are just being yourself.

About how to deal with your parents/environment. I know it can be difficult (having made these experiences myself), especially if the other person is close to you and you are supposed to be able to trust them. However, let that criticism roll of, just like water that doesn’t stick on a duck’s back. Try to stay calm and clear in these situations and try to navigate yourself out of these situations.
