Well I’m clearly talking of feeling what others feel, aren’t I?

It depends on who you’re around. If it’s toxic, angry people - like online - it sucks, because that negativity seeps in and poisons my own mood too. But when you’re around positive people, you can really feel those good vibes as well.

The thing is, I don’t necessarily feel what other people feel - I feel what I think they feel. So if I misread someone, I can end up feeling bad for no reason at all.

Interestingly, my empathy even extends to inanimate objects. A childhood example: if there were four potatoes left in the kettle and I only wanted three, I’d still take all four because I didn’t want the last one to be left alone.

I think this is great. One of the main reasons I’ve been paying for the subscription is the limited memory of the free version. Now, the more I use it, the more it remembers about me and references things I’ve mentioned in past conversations. Sure, there are potential privacy concerns, but the same goes for commenting on Lemmy - I don’t tell ChatGPT anything I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing here.

In my case, I just feel like it’s unfair to my girlfriend. I know it’s not my fault, and I’m not obligated to give her something I don’t enjoy myself - but the reality is that something that’s a big part of most relationships is missing from ours, and it’s because of me. We’re in an open relationship, so she doesn’t have to go entirely without, but it’s still not ideal.

Other than airports or bag checking to get into events, no. Ironically though I once accidently brought a pocket knife to a big event because they checked bags but not pockets.

To me, this feels like drawing a red circle around a defect that almost no one would notice otherwise. Whether it helps someone with their trauma or not is irrelevant here, as I’m speaking purely about appearance.

I don’t mind small tattoos. I’m not a fan of them, and I’d prefer none at all, but one or two small ones aren’t a dealbreaker for me. Ironically, the only type of tattoo I actually find kind of attractive is a tramp stamp - which even many tattoo enthusiasts tend to dislike.

If I were to psychoanalyze myself a bit here, I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that I have quite a few moles on my body, which I absolutely hate. So maybe there’s some resentment toward people who have naturally clear, “clean” skin - and then choose to cover it with tattoos.

Well, I went from using reddit several hours a day for a decade to quitting cold-turkey when they killed 3rd party apps. I haven’t gone back, though I feel like Lemmy is barely an adequate substitute.

The desire to have sex? Sure would make relationships easier.

For me it was the moment I bought my first lawnmower.

Well AGI would solve climate change in a hearbeat but nobody knows wether it’ll take 5 or 500 years to get there or what other consequences comes with it. Personally I tend to think that we don’t solve it by cutting emissions but rather with technology wether that be carbon capture or not. This is something AI at least has the potential to help us with.

Smoking is probably the biggest one for me though tattoos are pretty awful as well.

I’ve always found it crazy that in the US anyone can listen to police radio - atleast according to movies. I’d love to do that too but I don’t think I should be able to.

Well you should be banned for that. You’re not bringing in any value to the conversation - just poisoning the air for everyone else. You’re why social media is so toxic.

For the past 10 years I’ve already lived as if I’m going to lose my job tomorrow. I’m probably better prepaired than the vast majority of people though I still don’t feel that way so I just keep saving and investing more while trying to live as cheap as possible. Ironically though my work situation has never been as busy as it’s now. My job is recession-proof(ish) and I can’t be fired so atleast there’s that.

I constantly drop stuff and catch it mid-flight like a spiderman and there’s never anyone seeing it.

I do the opposite: 12h clock despite being european. 24hr clock has never been intuitive to me. When I see 17:34 I need to take a solid 5 seconds every time to convert that in my head into the actual time. 5:34pm is clear because it says the time right there. My only issue with 12hr clock is remembering wether 12pm is at noon or at midnight.

My thinking is that LLMs are human-like enough that mistreating them can be a strong indicator of someone’s character. If you’re comfortable being cruel to something that closely resembles a person, it suggests you might treat actual people poorly too. That’s why I think the premise of the TV series Westworld wouldn’t really work in real life - you’d have to be a literal psychopath to mistreat those human-like robots, even if you know (or are pretty sure) they’re not conscious.

I don’t think people need to go out of their way to be overly polite to an LLM - we can be pretty confident it doesn’t actually care - but if I saw someone’s chat history and it was nothing but them being mean or abusive, that would be a massive red flag for me personally.

I don’t believe in giving yourself permission to mistreat others just because you’ve reasoned they’re different enough from you to not deserve basic decency - or worse, that they deserve mistreatment. Whatever excuse you use to “other” someone is still just that - an excuse. Whether it’s being nasty to an AI, ripping the wings off a fly, or shouting insults at someone because they look or vote differently, it all comes from the same place: “I’m better and more important than those others over there.” Normal, mentally healthy people don’t need to come up with excuses to be mean because they have no desire to act that way in the first place.

None. Web version works just fine.

Something I’d personally love to be able to do is to ask it to recreate an existing tv series but according to my personal preferences by removing stuff from them that I don’t like and adding things that I do. The Walking Dead for example wouldn’t even need that much tweaking to make it actually good. Another thing I’d love to use it for is to create new seasons for finished series such as Yellowstone.

Literally every single time this far it has but the people who don’t even invest are saying this time might be different.
