Lol, welcome to the world, the olds will not give anyone a leg up anywhere. I say that as someone who’s almost 50.

Sure, I’ve been there, I’m still there some days, it’s a lot of hard work to push yourself and find your redeeming qualities when you feel like you don’t have any, or keep trying when you feel like you fail every time, or feel like you sabotage yourself every time you get something going right. If that’s a step it’s great I’m just saying, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Well that does sound better, as long as it’s not completely dependent on another persons approval, that’s kinda asking for trouble.

“I only care about myself when someone else cares about me” is not particularly healthy.

Thanks for the deep dive, yeah that seems really suspicious, the pdf of that study definitely looks like it was paid for by someone with an agenda, seems to be the opposite of what I suspected, going towards alarmism. I feel like anyone who’s up for taking a survey on AI is already into AI so it’s pretty skewed. I suppose one thing from that study did make some sense:

Many people who are using AI relationship technologies report that they prefer AI communication over engaging with a real person in a genuine relationship.

Sure, everyone loves a sycophant who hangs on their every word and agrees with them all the time… for a while at least.

One in five are you god damn fucking serious? I keep hearing about this, it’s feeling like astroturfing to make it seem/feel normal. If people don’t even need each other anymore it’s over we’re fucked.

The spirit of Star Trek is incompatible with Paramount’s new MAGA politics, it will be ruined.

You might even say Reddit was the precursor to Onlyfans with it’s Gonewild subs. I’m certain someone saw the followings the girls were garnering themselves on there and thought hey, you know what, let’s bring pimping into the 21st century.

Ethics are in shambles.

I haven’t logged into my account in years and I don’t particularly want to…

Oof that’s super disheartening, I never really entered those contests because I feared it was the same. My music is pretty weird as it is I don’t really want to put it up against more ear friendly stuff lol. I feel like people are all watching the same youtube videos and getting the same tips or using the same tutorials and/or sample packs and projects or presets. DAWs are awesome in that they’ve made music making accessible to literally anyone but they’ve also made it easy to make a lot of music that sounds the same, I mean of course that was happening before computers as well, but it still take some effort to be a cover band.

not if they want to earn any money, I just make music for myself now tbh

Lucas was 27 when he started writing Star Wars…

Work hard and you will be rewarded and taken care of. LOLLLLLLLLLL.

I was going to say that’s my goddamn trademark see you in court. /s

Big tech does not need fucking subsidies, they should be paying a premium for power, and there should be fucking ads in it.

Pretty sure it means he spent way too much time online.

Not surprised when this thing glows up everything you say and does everything but give you head (so far). People like to be right and feel smart and this thing is a sycophant.

I suppose they are scared of retaliation by Trump or by his MAGA minions and are protecting their families. What we need in there is a bunch of people with nothing to lose.

Why do so many people like and protect this asshole? I guess they are making money too. It’s really hard to remain optimistic when you see a nepo pile of shit like him being catered to every day instead of being spat on.
