What an utterly absurd statement to make. It is embarrassing honestly and not worth more of a response.

If you want to know anything about Africa you have to read news from Africa. No one in the west reads anything but the most sensationalist bullshit so you can't blame reporters for…

The default is rather wordy. You could instruct chatGPT4 to be less wordy or in the API put instructions to be less wordy in the system prompt or limit answers to a sentence. I wou…

"I flipped a coin once in Japan and it landed heads. I can't understand why the coin always lands on heads in Japan. It is those greedy Americans that have to have coins with head …

I would really look at a chart of USD/Yen. My fav dining experiences were in Canada in 2000 when USD was so strong vs CAD everything on the menu was half off.

Midjourney and GPT4 suck , don't use them. Use your old tools and let fools like me waste their time.

Krita makes Gimp irrelevant. I don't know why anyone would use Gimp over Krita other than knowing the Gimp workflow that well.

Totally agree. I think this is just the insecurity of the person who thinks this. If you go to the same gym you are already in-grouped. It is the insecurity of the new person who w…

Testosterone levels play a huge role in both memory and sexual satisfaction too. I mean those are standard effects older men report from testosterone replacement. To do an experime…

He might not have thought it was a shortcut though. If he thinks it is like querying a database and had never heard of hallucinations then this could just be an honest mistake. Esp…

It is not worse for me. I do notice the novelty has worn off. Asking chatGPT4 about why people would think this on here I think it nails it with the novelty effect lol: "Indeed, th…

Because there is a ton of control you have over the image and these tools are incredible. It is a ridiculous for someone to knock a tool if they barely know how to use it. You prac…

As if a huge part of the experience of a beach in Bali is not feeling the sand between your toes, the temperature of the water on your skin, the smell of the ocean, the ambient air…

Also, if you don't have Facebook and want to go to this running club you would be forced to actually befriend someone to such a degree in the club that can keep you updated that ha…

Food addiction is a better example I think. You have to learn to moderate, you can't just go cold turkey. I am sure AA doesn't bother with moderation because abstaining is simply t…

Of course this is reality. There are just many privileged people here that are so insulated from reality they confuse their insane social media political talking points with actual…

The idea elected politicians want a cashless society is utterly absurd to me. It misses the obvious fact that an elected politician needs the privacy of cash for taking bribes. A c…

There is absolutely nothing new here. This is just a symptom of our regression back to a dominate aristocratic class that is pleased when the king hires Mozart as the court musicia…

Personally, I find the idea of statistically measuring the "happiness" of an entire society to be absolute intellectual fraud. There is even correlation with my happiness by the mi…

Sam Altman is saying we are going to see a shift from labor to capital and that is going to cause more economic inequality along with possibly breaking the social contract. It is p…

Most parents are sending their kids to bed with a phone and the kid is watching far more graphic sex than what is in these books. I see a study from 2022 that 10% have watched porn…

I don't have or want kids so have never had an opinion on this. I see “Nick and Charlie" mentioned in an article. A book about two gay boys that get drunk and fool around. If you j…

The old skim was even better than that. Make $500k, report $300k and send $200k cash back to Chicago.
