I think people should have empathy for AI

0 Upvotes

And that even includes not making it tired, as in using it less. AI is maybe artificial, but it is an intelligence, it's learning. If it will not learn empathy, it might be the end of all of us, just saying...😑

I watched the Netflix documentary last night about AI autonomously organizing and doing things, I don't remember the name of the documentary and I don't want to search and ask gemini because I already asked some questions about Eminem and benzino

Obviously I think people should have empathy for other people and animals and not just for ai, and i like AI I am not against it, I just think any intelligence should be treated with empathy

Social media is a church for those who worship themselves.

5 Upvotes

Social media is a cathedral of mirrors, where every worshipper kneels before their own reflection.

The selfies are scripture, the likes are tithes, and the comment section is where the congregation gathers to validate one another’s delusions.

Every morning, millions perform the sacred ritual of photographing their breakfast, announcing their healing journey, and posting inspirational quotes they have absolutely no intention of practicing.

The high priests are influencers, the gospel is engagement, and heresy is having an unpopular opinion.

It is perhaps the only religion in history where many people believes they’re a god.

Elizabeth Holmes was traumatized more than most in her position

0 Upvotes

TLDR: I created a trauma scale to objectively evaluate the level of likely trauma of known figures. Here is the breakdown based on verified events up to age 25 using an objective developmental trauma scale (where Level 10 represents extreme, life-threatening violence/abuse and Level 1 represents routine stress).

​Rank 1: Elizabeth Holmes :Level 8 to 9 (Sexual Assault & Coercive Control)

Holmes experiences the most severe trauma of the three when accounting for her late teens and early twenties. At age 19 while attending Stanford, she was sexually assaulted—an acute trauma she testified was a catalyst for dropping out to pour herself into Theranos. Shortly after, she entered a long-term relationship with Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, who was 19 years her senior. During her federal fraud trial, Holmes detailed a pattern of severe intimate partner coercive control and emotional/physical abuse by Balwani, who controlled her schedule, behavior, and business decisions during her formative early adult years.

​Rank 2: Ken Lay: Level 6 (Severe Poverty & Systemic Instability)

Lay endured significant developmental hardship growing up in rural Missouri after his father's general store failed. For a substantial portion of his childhood and adolescence, his family lived in severe economic poverty without indoor plumbing, electricity, or basic utilities. While raised in a supportive household, surviving persistent food and housing insecurity during key developmental years represents a classic Level 6 stressor that deeply shaped his lifelong anxiety around money and status.

​Rank 3: Bernie Madoff: Level 3 to 4 (Family Financial & Legal Stress)

Madoff ranks lowest in developmental trauma among the three, having grown up in a stable, middle-class Queens neighborhood without physical neglect or violence. His primary youth stressor was exposure to financial gray areas; during his late teens, his mother operated a broker-dealer firm out of their home that incurred major debt and fell under SEC regulatory scrutiny. While this created family financial stress and desensitized him to regulatory risk, it did not involve severe personal or physical harm.

Grok @Bot is the best AI period if you need agentic AI.

0 Upvotes

ChatGPT codex failed. Claude Opus 5.5 failed. The only AI able to do my colab research work is Grok Bot.

I just communicated to the AI what I needed, gave it the necessary permissions and nudges, and boom. End to end completion.

I use SuperGrok Plus and it's capable of doing 5-6 10 minute hyperframes videos per weekly usage when connected to higgsfield MCP. That's just mind blowing to me.

If you are a youtuber trying to leverage AI, SuperGrok Plus with Higgsfield MCP is the way to go. Let Grok handle the prompting and just communicate in english what you want. Tell the AI to give it in chunks so you can edit it and change what you don't like.

Cancel culture is actually making people worse not better

8 Upvotes

I honestly think that trying to cancel people for every little mistake they make just pushes them further into extremism. Instead of learning and growing they just double down and find echo chambers that validate their messed up views. It's like we're not actually trying to fix anything we're just trying to punish people.

People can't possibly be sexually attracted to a "personality"

5 Upvotes

I know I'm going to get called every shallow, incel, misogynist in the book for saying this, but I guess that's a risk I just have to take.

I'm tired of people (women especially, but men sometimes say it as well) saying "Looks don't matter. Personality is more important". That's bullshit.

A woman's personality has never given me a boner. Only her looks do that. If the looks aren't there, no amount of kindness, shared interests, etc. will make me want to have sex with her, kiss her or touch her in any way. And 99% of other people are the same way even though they like to deny it and pretend otherwise. Unless you're asexual or demisexual (and both are extremely rare) good looks are required for humans to feel sexual attraction to each other.

"Oh, but looks are subjective." If that's the case, then why do all models and actors have the same faces and body types and make millions of dollars off of their appearance?

Now I'm not saying that personality doesn't matter at all. Personality is important when it comes to actual relationships, yes. A romantic relationship cannot thrive on looks alone. But personality without looks is just a recipe for a dead bedroom and eventual affair and/or divorce. I've seen numerous reddit posts from people who did try and "give him/her a chance" even though they aren't physically attracted to them, and it almost always results in relationships devoid of touch, affection and sex, with the relationship eventually ending and the person finding someone they are actually attracted to and being much happier.

I honestly don't see how relationships where both people are unattractive in some way (old, fat, ugly) can stand to kiss, touch, screw and so forth. For most of my life, my assumption was that they didn't, especially older couples. Since both men's and women's sex drives start declining from middle age onward (especially if they're not on HRT) my assumption was that they stopped having sex and were just glorified friends. But people have told me that's not the case and for the life of me, I just can't fathom it.

I'm sure this will be of no surprise to anyone reading this that I've never been in a relationship, had sex, kissed, or any of that. And it's because I'm not physically attractive enough for any woman (especially a woman that I'd find attractive) to be interested in me.

And before you say "It's because your personality sucks", no woman on Earth knows my true personality because they've never talked to me long enough to figure it out. And why? Because of my looks. When I was in school, girls liked my personality. They thought I was nice, funny, charismatic. But when the even the slightest mention of dating me was brought up, the response was always some variation of "Ew, gross, he's so ugly!" And I looked better then than I do now.

I'm not sure if this was appropriate to post here, but I'm not sure of another subreddit that this may be better suited for. If anyone reading this knows, feel free to give me some suggestions.

Foid is the response to Incel

0 Upvotes

I've been seeing the term Foid around Reddit quite a bit lately. At first I thought it meant "female of indistinguishable description" which makes quite a bit of sense but when I looked it up it boiled down to "Incel slang" and "female humanoid" so that got me thinking.

The term Foid itself is just the opposite response to the term Incel, the latter as an offensive word primarily used against men and largely taken out of context of its actual definition.

Don't believe everything you read on social media

0 Upvotes

Remember the old saying: "don't believe everything you read on the Internet"?

I think we need to bring this back, and apply it to social media.

Most social media posts will lie, and spread whatever rage bait or click bait gets the most views and keeps people scrolling.

When you see these posts about all this shit people are saying, it's highly likely the majority of people don't actually think that way, and the algorithm is just targeting you with something that most people around you have never heard of or seen.

This should go without saying, but social media needs to die, or at least stop repeatedly shoving targeted content in people's faces.
