And yet when I do it…

Except for some who just cheat with people of their own gender and live in extreme guilt wondering why they keep doing it.

Kinda. My landlord prohibits it as it’s federally illegal despite being state legal for most Americans and federally unenforced. It also is a serious issue if you work in certain jobs that are sufficiently federally regulated like aviation.

But yeah Carlson just seems the type to skip over pot and go straight to powder coke before settling on a cocktail of amphetamines, sedatives, and the occasional opiate to relax.

Oh that’s easy. “We aren’t responsible for contributing to the destruction of our country and the murder of innocents, and neither are you dear viewers. You simply need to understand that the president is practicing witchcraft. Remove the witch and leave us in power and we’ll all do much better. Also you can’t prosecute someone who was hypnotized with a magic aura.”

I simply refuse to consider the possibility that he’s just never experienced the narcissistic charisma before and actually was unable to resist it, much less consider it a defense.

Isn’t he the media? Like, he owns his own media channel and has since shortly after the first trump administration. “The media failed to investigate this!” Motherfucker you were one of the loudest media voices defending this guy for 8 years

It’s weird to think there might be people who had a different experience with engineering school.

But you also need to have already read it

Monthly it’s about what I’d expect for a low-medium experience engineer. But I’m an industrial engineer not software.

I kinda love it. “We packed a town’s worth of people in this building so we included a virtual town center in it as well”

Ok I kinda love it though. But also I think brutalism at its best can be pretty good even though I think most of what it does well art deco does better (except create a sense of communal bureaucracy)

Even my windows using wife is considering a Linux phone over this

That’s a possum, it’s our continent’s marsupial. They’re adorable

Raccoon for sure. Sure possums are cute, but raccoons are smart and adorable and mischievous

The most beautiful sunrise you ever saw. Ideally while fucking

So at best it’s a bad simulation of a half assed erp?

Yeah my straight mom was a subscriber before I was born

Fair but that is a small minority of people

Yeah and I guess my point is that so is pirating a cbt workbook and trying it yourself

That’s fair, but given the way the technology actually works, I stand by my position that there is a very real potential for harm and safer alternatives that are similarly accessible. If studies show it’s safe and helpful that’s cool, but at this moment I’d strongly discourage any loved one who’s interested in using an llm for this purpose and would instead point them towards other resources.

Because nothing doesn’t run the risk of encouraging catastrophizing, acting on your heightened emotions, or coming to irrational conclusions. If it’s consistently able to not do those things for a variety of people that’s great. But as someone who had to learn to control her panic attacks, I absolutely can see advice and recommendations that are worse than nothing.

And yeah given llms’ reputation for dealing with psychosis, delusions, and suicidality, I don’t trust any of the technology compared to nothing, despite knowing how difficult nothing is for panic attacks.
