We’re not talking about an AI running a nuclear reactor, this article is about AI assistants on a personal phone. 0.001% failure rates for apps on your phone isn’t that insane, and generally the only consequence of those failures would be you need to try a slightly different query. Tools like Alexa or Siri mishear user commands probably more than 0.001% of the time, and yet those tools have absolutely caught on for a significant amount of people.

The issue is that the failure rate of AI is high enough that you have to vet the outputs which typically requires about as much work as doing whatever you wanted the AI to do yourself, and using AI for creative things like art or videos is a fun novelty, but isn’t something that you’re doing regularly and so your phone trying to promote apps that you only want to use once in a blue moon is annoying. If AI were actually so useful you could query it with anything and 99.999% of the time get back exactly what you wanted, AI would absolutely become much more useful.

Fucking garbage tier party, will stick up for literally nobody, only procedural norms. They won’t fight for trans, abortion, migrants, or any other rights, and God forbid you ask them to at least not vote for their opponent’s department nominations, that’d make things so awkward in Congress!

Fucking useless “opposition”

Thanks you Trump for finally eliminating US soft power. Once no nation sees any benefits in close relationships with the US and actively hates it, the US will truly be a wealthier and more powerful super power than ever before!

(I’m being sarcastic, jfc this is so stupid and cruel)

Honestly that’s totally fair and I can see how an AI therapist could help more than a human one. I personally have wanted to have a regular therapist for a number of years, and I had one that really helped me when I was first figuring out I’m trans, but then I moved and now whenever I try to look for therapists, it feels like I can’t find anyone that gives me those right mix of “LGBT literate”, “(Polish) immigrant literate”, “autism and ADHD literate” and on top of those, being able to figure out if I can vibe with them AND won’t “queer broken arm syndrome” me, and I’ve basically given up looking. A lot of my progress in mental health development lately have been just really reflecting about the ways of thinking I’m stuck in that maybe are hindering me, but that’s largely worked for me because (despite the state of the world) I’ve had a period of good stability and a wife to bounce thoughts off of.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I can definitely relate to those kinds of struggles and understand how having a tool that just gives you other perspectives generated from a composition of average people’s posts would be useful unto itself! I guess I get really knee jerk about AI because I’ve seen so many projects that do treat the AI tools we have now as “actual literal synthetic sentient intelligence or something damn close” when it’s nowhere near that. Your use of it is actually a perfect understanding of what it does now, what it can give you, and how to make use of it, and I should be more careful in how I talk about AI when there are people who do gain genuine use from it.

Thank you again for sharing your perspective!

The clergy and worshippers said they enjoyed it, but agreed it wouldn’t replace services led by humans anytime soon.

“It was pretty entertaining and fun, but it didn’t feel like a Mass or a service. … It felt distant. I didn’t feel like they were talking to me,” Taru Nieminen told The Associated Press.

The Rev. Kari Kanala, the vicar at St. Paul’s, echoed her sentiment.

“The warmth of the people is what people need,” he said.

I mean, isn’t that basically how every AI project goes? “It’s a fun novelty, but actually expecting anything deeper from it always gives you a hollow experience”? Maybe we don’t need to try doing everything with AI, maybe we can just assume it’ll be the case and move on

It’s wild how “take seriously” just means “stop pretending that his ramblings are seventh dimensional chess”. Sometimes, the emperor really is just wearing no clothes!

I read his statements as attempts to make it clear he’s not the unreasonable “everyone must give Ukraine all the aid we want with no compensation allowed” figure that conservatives in the US now want to paint him as. It makes it clear that Trump isn’t upset that Zelenskyy isn’t open to negotiating compensation for the US, he’s just trying to find an excuse to pivot US foreign policy towards Russia’s goals, and Zelenskyy meanwhile is even willing to discuss something as absurd as signing away Ukraine’s rare earth minerals.

I think it’s a good idea for him to call Trump’s bluff. If he railed hard against the deal, it’d become another partisan issue, whether relations with Ukraine broke because of Trump or Zelenskyy being a hardliner. That’s why they’ve been trying to find any excuse at all to say Zelenskyy was somehow rude to Trump while he was sitting there listening to Trump spit out Russian propaganda. Conservatives need some narrative that the US pivot to Russian foreign policy is Ukraine’s fault, and Zelenskyy is denying them that.

I’m willing to bet there are boys that roleplay as humans on mastodon. While we lack concrete data, humans are a fairly popular race in roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons. If there are at least 10 young men on Mastodon that play Dungeons and Dragons, there’s a very good chance at least one role plays as a human character.

And now, in one post identifies as straight, maybe bi curious and doesn’t care about homophobia because as a bi person she doesn’t experience it, and then minutes later in another post is a lesbian who only likes men.

If she’s real, she’s got some incredibly powerful OCD and should maybe stop thinking so much about labels.

I’m mostly betting they’re a troll though.

Also even if something very specific that you want isn’t available outside of Amazon, that’s all the more reason to definitely not buy it and message the manufacturer/seller and let them know why you’re not buying it. Boycotts will sometimes mean not buying something you really want to buy, that’s working as designed.

No, I’m only into women. Potentially some enbies, but mostly women.

I don’t think I’ve really seen any literature about web3 that wasn’t a crypto scam in a trench coat. Do you have any links or info about the original goals of web3?

Alright, I am officially done talking to you. Please don’t try and contact me again on another account.

@trans

Glad I could clear that up for you 🙂

Why do you think I care lmfao

I called you transphobic because you made a transphobic post and you got really defensive over it. It’s not that deep.

No I did read your post and replied in good faith. I’m sorry you didn’t like my response but I remain firm in my position that your argument doesn’t do enough work to distance itself from the clear transphobic origins of egg prime directive beliefs. People disagreeing with you isn’t bad faith.

My problem with defences of the “egg prime directive” is that it’s blatantly transphobic, and frames cisness as an inherently natural correct state while transness is something only a select few do. Encouraging someone to question their gender isn’t the same as denying them their gender identity, you can at the same time identify ways that someone seems to be having a similar experience as many trans people do before coming out while totally accepting that they are what they are right now.

I’ll be honest, it feels like a rebranding of the old homophobic defense of homosexuality, that it’s a small percentage of the population that suffers from this condition, so we should be nice to that select few, but oh no don’t you go implying morally upstanding people like me or my child could be one of those people.

It didn’t have a cutesy name associated with it, but it’s similar to why “born this way” was criticized when that framing was used for gay existence and why it played into a conservative framing of queerness: it’s a thing the degenerates do over there, but if they try to come into polite society and try to do things like talk to kids about being gay, it’s not because they’re trying to reach out to gay kids who might be in unsupportive environments where being gay is never presented to them as a thing they might apply to them, it’s because they’re sickos who are trying to groom kids into becoming like them.

In a time when countries are trying to make trans people legally not exist and forbid people from even being able to talk about them, I could not imagine a worse time to stop talking to people about transness and that people who don’t identify as trans might be trans. Our enemies will definitely happily tell anyone experiencing dissatisfaction with their AGAB that they’re definitely not trans just shy/not (wo)manly enough/needing conversion therapy/etc, so why let them control the conversation about who can or can’t be trans?

Are you under the impression PiS was normally a sane functional party before 2016 or something? Because I can strongly assure you this is more or less normal for them. Ever since the Smoleńsk plane crash in 2010, they’ve pretty consistently been insane and accusing KO (and the various precursor parties) of being agents of the global gay/Jewish/German/Russian conspiracy against Poland.
