also I am in therapy figuring myself out and wouldn’t be right to pull someone else through this.
I personally disagree with this reasoning. I used to believe something similar about myself, but it turns out having a partner helped me immensely. I didn’t drag her down, she pulled me up.
Those are just ideas that were previously “generated” by humans though, that the LLM learned
That’s not how modern generative AI works. It isn’t sifting through its training dataset to find something that matches your query like some kind of search engine. It’s taking your prompt and passing it through its massive statistical model to come to a result that meets your demand.
You’ve got a whole half already!
The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
No, the first American woman in space was a lesbian.
Valentina Tereshkova, who beat Sally Ride to space by twenty years and two days, isn’t a lesbian (as far as we know). She’s been married twice, both times to men.
Leo is a pedophile. He won’t openly date a child but he will go as low as he possibly can without going to.jail
Leo’s behavior isn’t very socially acceptable, but he isn’t a pedophile.
His explanation is that he doesn’t have any interest in starting a family or having children, and he thinks that the drive to do so for women kicks in in the mid-to-late twenties. Women he dates know this going in, they know it’s never going to go anywhere real, they know there’s an end date. They get to participate in his lifestyle, they get to meet a bunch of important people, etc, in exchange for a sexual relationship with a very wealthy, attractive man.
They’re young, but they’re adults capable of making decisions for themselves. Maybe some will regret it later, others won’t. But regardless, it’s a mutual agreement between adults.
Gross? Creepy? Yeah, especially the older he gets. Sexist? Oh absolutely. 100%. Pedophilic? No.

Here’s the thing. You said a “chimpanzee is a monkey.”
Is it in the same infraorder? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies monkeys, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls chimpanzees monkeys. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
If you’re saying “monkey infraorder” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Simiiformes, which includes things from lemurs to librarians to humans.
So your reasoning for calling a chimpanzee a monkey is because random people “call the monkey-shaped ones monkeys?” Let’s get raccoons and koalas in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a jackdaw or a crow? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A chimpanzee is a chimpanzee and a member of the monkey infraorder. But that’s not what you said. You said a chimpanzee is a monkey, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the monkey infraorder monkeys, which means you’d call librarians, humans, and other apes monkeys, too. Which you said you don’t.
It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
They don’t let just anybody open a restaurant in the Louvre.
Well of course not. It’s a feature of the Castellano accent in Spain.
From there it just talks about a lot of things we could do with a fraction of the wealth of the wealthiest 400 Americans. Things like ending homelessness in America, ending malaria worldwide, and many others. By mildly inconveniencing 400 people, who would still all be absurdly wealthy billionaires even if 60% of their wealth were taken, we could dramatically improve the world.
Stop demonizing your neighbor. Demonize the 1%.
Even more than the 1%, the 0.0001%. An excellent resource to illustrate this point:
I feel like everyone should go through this at least once. It’s eye-opening. Even people who we generally think of as crazy rich, like the average hedge fund manager, are just a drop of water in a pond compared to the ultra-wealthy.
You’re not the first fellow TheReal<Something> I’ve found in the wild, but it always makes me do a double-take. 😃
Most (but not all) music has something to recommend it. If you don’t like entire eras of music it’s not because the music is “bad,” it’s because it’s not to your taste anymore (or, for stuff you didn’t listen to, never was).
Much like with food, if you can find what makes a particular genre enjoyable and listen for that, you can enjoy a lot more. I would never listen to Taylor Swift the same way I listen to Rush or Pink Floyd, but I still loved Midnights. I wouldn’t listen to Bach the same way I listen to Nightwish, but they’re both fantastic.
There’s nothing wrong with being discerning in your tastes. But there’s also nothing wrong with the styles of music you don’t like, it’s just a different flavor. I don’t like cilantro and never will, but I understand why people do. And I didn’t like coffee until I learned how to taste it properly. The same is true of music.
Most people aren’t good at things they don’t practice. But lots of people get really good at things they weren’t good at.
I guess I’m searching for another Zelda:BotW. Which isn’t Tears of the Kingdom.
I’m confused by this. TotK is very much just BotW but with more. The construction mechanism is really fun, the three overlapping maps are cool, it’s a good time. You get to see how the world of BotW has changed in the intervening time, and being able to make hover cycles to fly around the world is awesome.
But the day after is only the second day of Christmas! There are, famously, twelve of them.
Whenever I get through two options with this, I say, “Okay, you pick. I don’t really want to play this game. If you don’t want to pick I’ll make one of the first offers.”
What a cool person! Thanks for that link!
