Yes, everyone who does not like AI is terrified. You nailed it. /s

Great read!! I still have my N900, my favorite smartphone of all time!

Yup I get it, just don’t like marketing speak and downplaying what we are talking about - it takes a ton of joules to get water that hot and it’s dangerous.

with water that’s roughly 200 degrees Fahrenheit

barely warm enough to brew a cup of tea

That is scolding hot water brother LOL

Some ass-hat thinks ‘activism’ (slacktivism) is bot-spamming his same comment thousands of time.

Sorry it was a joke in poor taste - I was referring to consuming psychedelic mushrooms (Penis Envy being a very potent strain)

Depth psychological psychotherapy - oh you mean Penis Envy (or Golden Teacher if you lemontek)? Yeah I cried for an hour but then it was a blast.

I think it’s a normal part of human nature that you experience all the time without corpo meddling. Have they exploited that urge for new? sure, just like they exploit every human emotion.

When I was leaving Mexico after a few months down there in my RV I was diverted from my usual border crossing location (Sonoyta) to a much larger one (Yuma) ~40 min away. I had to wait in a 2 hour line to get to customs, and in that line I was inching forward next to the border wall. In this large city in plain view of everyone, mind you, I watched 4 seperate teams of mexican brothers get over the wall in under 5 min. The magic weapon? Rope 3 of the times, a jank looking ladder the last time. Billions of dollars defeated with a rope. The facepalm would send me into orbit rn.

ooof - I jumped out of the fying pan and into the fire according to this map, whoops

When I was considering buying one I researched the health benefits and from what I could tell - there are none. Most studies/researchers seem to agree that sedentism is bad, either standing or sitting. Some ppl on zoom (back when I worked for a company) would have walking desks, probably better.

I saw the video yesterday and it’s def worth a watch to understand how China is contesting ownership of international waters.

Hard pass on that reality. I agree with the vibe of what you are saying, just def not the truth of it.

Looking at it as birthing your own companion, totally. But if you were birthing a companion you’d have to raise it, train it, educate it, feed it, clothe it, form a relationship with it, then convice (or manipulate it) to love you.

I see AI companions as even more pathetic (and a lot less gross), honestly. Their masters want all the benefits of an actual human relationship without doing any of the work it demands. They want an echo machine that reaffirms they are valid and wanted, even though they are not. Everyone does not deserve to be loved. Everyone does not deserve to be wanted. These are things you earn and you will never be able to do with a corpo-trained techno-parrot.

I smell another “lawsuit” that is totally legit guys I swear, and NVidia just happens to settle out of court with DJT to the tune of millions even though every laywer/judge on the planet says the case is without merit. Move along, justice working as expected.

I want to try it out… but the smell test is off: Land on the github and it proudly proclaims the author is not doing this for money, only to help the community! Awesome right? Scroll down a little more to project history… and the first version he created and got bored with and sold. Ok… well let’s click on the website link to actually see what this looks like before cloning and installing… and the first thing I am hit with is join a premium subscription.

I’m not against making money, we all have to - but please don’t act like it’s “not about the money” and then make it about the money.

Awesome read, thanks!

Dang sorry to hear that - I just followed the docker compose instructions and setup Caddy (which was also new to me) on my VPS and I was off the races, no issues yet.

KitchenOwl is my latest addition and I am getting a lot of use out of it - s/o and I use it to share a grocery shopping list, slowly starting to add my recipes to it as well. I used to use a shared google keep list but KitchenOwl works a lot better.
