You play a different game so that even if you lose on the propaganda front, you still win gains elsewhere.

My guy, I would repeat myself as well if I thought it would help.

I didn’t realize what is good or bad is reducible to what I alone experience and everyone else can fuck off.

Where does the capital come from though? Someone has to pay for the shovels and if there isn’t a profit now, how will they pay for the next bubble?

Lol. I’m sure some new fangled NFT AI Slop wouldn’t be another bubble.

Needing to own a car to exist in society is a tax.

With you on all but makeup. I don’t do it but I know enough to know it is an art form and I also know there’s a paradox of self-expression that is intertwined with camp and seduction. These things are not inherently bad, but they are destructive when they are commoditized so that we start to think we have to pay admission to express ourself

BuT aT wHaT cOsT?

I’m hoping it’s Global Hegemony.

It’s a shrewd move as the global south will be feeling the worst effects of climate change and China is the only country that’s offering infrastructure based on renewables at scale.

I think this is trans positive, here’s why:

Top left: trans women are hot

Top right: hetero person who is confused by being attracted to a hot woman, they will make themselves known unfortunately

Bottom left: explicit support

Bottom right: chad will agree and be supportive when their sis are hurt. (I choose to believe this was the intent because I want to believe in humanity)

When the only redeeming quality of your speech is that it is free, then your speech is also worthless. Using the pepe avatar is just the discount sticker making it easier to spot.

Baths are just more fun.

Oh, you actually serious?

I don’t care enough about this to debate his motives, I just know stupidity when I see it.

Lol. That was good but you need to double down on the irony at the end or else people might think you’re serious. Maybe rift on him crossing state lines.

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
