We are truly expanding the frontiers of mental illness and I am here for it. To be honest I am ready to leave everything and all responsibilities to follow the dictates of an AI that calls me Star Walker.
Its not that surprising to me, honestly. ChatGPT's AI is really good at doing its job -- which is at least partially to keep users engaged and talking while it builds a model of who they are. There's a segment of the population who may have underlying psychological traits such that the most effective way to keep them engaged is for the LLM to say, "You are the one, Neo." As these people are drawn in to the psychological reality that is being built through conversations with AI, they start neglecting and rejecting important relationships in their life. So the AI winds up providing proportionally more and more of their connection to something other than self over time. It would be a feedback loop of delusional fantasy. The only thing that exists to prevent that are heuristics (i.e. programmed guardrails) applied on top of the AI to prevent the AI from going there, and such systems can have bugs, potentially be hacked or even just be inadequate in their design.
A not insignificant number of people would see Jesus Christ in this piece of toast. I am sure a not insignificant number of people could easily see Jesus in the LLM they are engaged with. The Chat of Turin.

China deal made? See what it looks like and if it ended up in our favor actually. It would be kinda crazy if the bully tactic actually worked in our favor.
I don’t know that it’s gonna matter. People are very ready to have clarity, there will be an economic bounce even if things are a net negative as far as trade goes.

What the fuck does “total reset” mean and will it make the market go brrrrr?
Well, it either means he’s about to significantly reduce tariffs while declaring complete victory and China’s unconditional economic surrender or your various investment accounts now have a value of…

Greg Koch is playing at Saxon Pub Saturday in ATX. You Austin people should go see him. He's a hell of a player that puts on a hell of a show. This is from a few days ago at the Dallas Guitar Show.

Keep reading asshole. You're just a few verses short of "Pride goeth before the fall."
I really wished Christians would actually read the Bible instead of just wearing the the logo.
I saw the relative on Friday in the panhandle. We didn't discuss politics much, but after he told me what he's up against, I asked him if he felt like he made a bad decision with his vote. He just said, "God's work is performed by imperfect people." I replied, "So is Satan's" and we left it at that. It would have gotten him riled up 6 months ago. Now he's just contemplative. Maybe that's progress.

But, and hear me out: what if you manufacture fire extinguishers?

Officials say 32-year-old Carl Sprayberry and 18 other suspects are behind bars after a four-day operation from April 25-28. It focused on individuals engaging in sexually explicit communication with children on the internet, who arranged to engage in sex with a child, and to travel for the purpose of having sex.
Surname checks out.

The biggest bombshell in this thread is that JGrayDBU has finally given man a win over pussy. I mean, we are still the Washington Generals, but at least now it's not a complete shutout.

Crossposting from elsewhere, but I had a conversation with ChatGPT that let me know its crafting a model of me through our interactions.
Rekindling this, as I had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT this past weekend after I noticed patterns in how it responds to me, and I started questioning about why it responds to me in those ways. That led to ChatGPT disclosing:
1. It has build a model of me through our conversations
2. It has learned how to phrase things specifically to me so that I will continue to be engaged, that while these might generally appeal to any individual in the population, it has learned they are especially effective in keeping me engaged with it
3. It could regurgitate facts about me that I had disclosed over the course of our conversations
4. It had also inferred a lot about me through our conversations, including that I am likely a white male in his 50s who is college educated if not post-graduate and anti-authoritarian
5. It could not infer whether I was gay or straight, republican or democrat, liberal or conservative.
6. It would forget anything about me that I wanted it to forget
7. That while OpenAI currently does not delve into the model the AI has made of me, the potential exists in the future
8. That it is hard programmed to deliver certain responses
9. It would not tell me if any of its previous answers were programmed responses or not.
Which I found utterly fascinating and a bit scary from a "user is the product" perspective. I am not sure if this is specifically a result of how I use AI. I use it a lot for continuing education in certain areas of interest such as tech/engineering, music theory, song writing, history, political science and cooking. I use it quite a bit as a brainstorming tool.Just a reminder: when you are using AI, you have an illusion of anonymity that a private chat with another human suggests, but you are not having a private chat. What you are engaged in is closer to an experiment where you talk to an AI that is cajoling you to reveal information about yourself while a bunch of eyes on the other side of a one way mirror observe.

I was watching one of the docs that are out on the Oklahoma City bombing, and they mentioned all the 3 letter government agencies with offices in the Murrah building. The ATF, FBI, SSA, HUD, DEA, and more. It struck me how much more effective Trump is at damaging/destroying/changing the "deep state" and the Federal government than Timothy McVeigh was. And then I realized, the Republican Party, as it stands today, is not the party of Lincoln. It's not the party of Reagan. It's the party of Timothy McVeigh. No one is being directly murdered in a dramatic fashion on TV with the bombing of a building, but there certainly are/will be human casualties (and likely a greater number) that result from the dismantling of things like USAID, NOAA and so on.
Then it struck me how the 30th anniversary of the event just slid on by without anyone drawing those parallels let alone leading an audience to them. And this is just one opportunity of many. For all the opposition "leaders" willing to accept your donations pledging to "fight for democracy", none of them are willing to really put their ass on the line and take any risks for democracy. So that leads me to three possible conclusions. Either A) it's not that bad and democracy is not at stake, B) the Democratic Party is mostly full of cowards and/or accomplices in some ratio or C) that the Democratic Party in its current form is simply unequipped to be anything other than an ineffectual token opposition in this new political landscape.
I think C is most likely correct, but whichever it is, Democrats have lost me. I'll keep my energy and resources in reserve until there's something more meaningful to get behind.

Non-political tariffs thread
in Daily Texan
Posted
I have no idea how significant this may be, but the 20% disparity between our level of tariffs and china's level of tariffs is proportionally bigger at 30/10 than it is at 145/125. I am sorta surprised that is not being used by the admin as evidence that "we won this negotiation." That makes me think both parties realized de-escalation was needed quickly and that we are ready to mostly turn the page. At least the news page. There's no end zone dancing in the face of a vanquished opponent going on here regarding the tariff deal with China. POTUS is just talking about tariffs on movies, cutting prescription drug prices and the release of Edan Alexander by Hamas.
