I did have Dall-E paint me a picture of “a mouse jumping a motorcycle through a flaming ring made of stone while pursued by vaguely ninja-like evil henchmen characters”
Which makes me really, really want this as a video game. Just riding the motorcycle through various environments with ninjas popping out left and right trying to grab you. Sometimes they’ve got nunchucks, sometimes nets, sometimes they swing down on a rope to get you. You get power ups too like little bombs you can throw.
But that’s the only time I used the image generation. Mostly I’ve been having GPT-4 explain history and technology to me.
OpenAI’s original mission was extremely serious: to ensure the wide proliferation of AI to ensure a multipolar ecosystem instead of a monopolar one, to force AI to learn to play nice via parity with other AIs.
I was amazed that an organization existed which recognized this hard to swallow but ultra important fact.
You should study cognitive surplus. What you’re dealing with is a daily workload that has more decisions in it than your brain can handle and still have energy left over.
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
It was my understanding that light does not experience time.
And yes it does experience time from our dimension because the speed of light is finite, making the lifetime of a photon as observed from a different frame of reference, non-zero.
If you’re a man, there a men’s groups for this sort of thing: the loneliness, the hopelessness, the being aware that abuse is wrong but somehow not feeling enough impulse to leave, all of it.
When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that’s also very...
Exactly. Without a proper foundation these nuclear plants are never going to get off the ground. We need concrete action. We need trucks. We need aggregate. We need forms and rebar. We need a platform to base this power generation.
Of course, ramping up production brings an increased risk of manufacturing faults and construction errors in all cases.
I disagree. I think that people make fewer mistakes in each repetition, the more times they repeat an action.
Right now nobody has mastered the building of nuclear plants. As a civilization, we’re on the equivalent of our third day on the new job. If we committed to tripling world supply, that would lead to us mastering it. We’d be at the equivalent of having been at the job for a couple years.
As a general fuck-up in life I’ve found it far more valuable to make promises on a timeframe I can manage, even if they’re really tiny, than to make big promises.
I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort....
I’m trying to improve my breakfest generally, and I heard that these are some of the best of what’s already popular to eat for health. How should these be ate, together or separate?
For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.
When I did that in college, though it was over 20 years ago, I distinctly remember my mother saying over the phone “Oh sure, just take the easy way out”.
Yeah Mom, I’m taking the “easy way out” here by going to therapy and taking medication. That’s totally what those words refer to. 🙄

Has anyone here used CBD products for anxiety? Do they actually work or is it just a placebo?

Is it better to eat eggs and oats cereal on separate days form eachother or together on the same day, although not together, side to side?

What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?
