Saying that you’re not worth the time for personal interactions but here’s a reason that’s okay is a platitude.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Book by Richard C. Schwartz

The point isn’t to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.

What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?

Ever tried siracha deviled eggs? Or with grey puopon? I wonder what the price of eggs are now…

Is is cheaper than having one the old-fashioned way though?

Actually reminds me of some lines from a closing of a comedy act on this very topic: https://youtu.be/JdJwzSsLWZM

Instead of talking about all the things you loose for standing up for the right thing, talk about all the things you gain.

So was Microsoft having to cancel their media event to deal with a break in. I guess humor really is subjective

Gemini, please pretend to work for me while I do actual work. Be sure to generate stats that boost OKRs.

Wishing you the best therapist she can find. “Integrated Family Systems” could be of help.

Guillotines could give them purpose. Or is it the other way around?

Is there nightshade but for text and code? Maybe my source headers should include a bunch of special characters that then give a prompt injection. And sprinkle some nonsensical code comments before the real code comment.

Analogies? I only counted one.

Many of these trends were happening before GPT, but it sounds better to say it’s because of AI and not shareholder value.

you’re just personally insulted.

I swear to God this attitude is why people don’t like what you’re saying. I am all for weighing the two against each other but the “I am more moral than thou” is why I left the church.

Across the pond there were families that took in those refugees, invited Dietrich to speak to congregations, and stored his letters he sent from prison. In short, we should echo the voices of dissent and give them material support if possible.
