@LordFall Why is that the specific vision that you gravitate towards? What does it mean to you (or about you) to be the guy who has a castle and five wives? And how do you imagine that your daily life is going to look like in 10, 20, 30+ years. Will you still want these wives when you're all in your 70s or 80s?

@Human Mint To be clear - I agree with you regarding creativity. I think it heavily depends how you are using AI. The creative process for me is all about the process itself. I do not care about the outcome. AI being too involved in that process for me, is detrimental and detracts from my experience. That is separate to the issue of enormous volumes of stolen data and art AI's are entrained on.

The dark night of the soul can be painful, but you are also aware you are growing if you have support. -
There is a deeper problem here. Outsourcing creativity is not wise at all. Using AI for personal entertainment is something completely different to what I am talking. And if you want to use it for your work go ahead. But it won't come without delusion, that's guaranteed. But if society accepts it totally then there's nothing to do about it. It's like mcdonalds: it just exists and makes people obese.

If more information was the answer, most people's shit would be resolved. Access to information in this age is enormous. It is definitely a stage of development or problem solving. But it needs to be moved through. Removal of distraction. Ruthless action. Nothing to it but to do it

@Leo Gura Your model of reality is more coherent. It's more accurate to say everything is imagination than to say imagination works in magical ways. If everything is imagination, then manifestation is possible through imaginary mechanisms. Nothing changes about life. It only gets recontextualized into a more palatable frame than naive materialism. -
I'm 5'2". And as long as a guy is taller than me, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker. Yet again, I also find Peter Dinklage attractive. So, maybe height is not a dealbreaker at all. I just find that most of the guys I've been romantically attracted to over the years have all happened to be between 5'7" and 5'10... either average or shorter side of average. And I've never specifically tried to avoid dating guys who are over 6ft. I just happened to be interested in specific guys who were average height or a bit shorter. So, even if I aesthetically appreciate height in the abstract... it doesn't seem to draw me that much or motivate me to seek out a romantic connection. Otherwise, I'd have selected for much taller partners and/or have more crushes on taller guys, if it did. So, while height tends to be a more classically handsome quality and most women would find taller guys more attractive than shorter guys in the abstract, I don't find that increase in general attractiveness that tall guys have very compelling as I'm much more tuned into the guy's specific personality and physical appearance. And many women (perhaps most) are probably selecting for other factors that pertain more to personality and facial looks/figure being generally a looks-match to themselves. Really, as long as you don't register to a woman as unattractive facially and figure-wise, you probably don't have to worry that much about physical traits like height being a disqualifier... especially if you are taller than the woman in question. So, if you're worried that there won't be women interested on you because of your height, then I can assure you that's not true. OR if you're worried, "All women always prefer the taller man", that's also not true. As long as you're over a particular woman's "non un-attracted to" threshold (which will be around her level of physical attractiveness... and maybe a degree or two in either direction), your height won't be a dealbreaker... and the focus will be more about your personality.

I do agree but not anymore. There is a developmental stage where you need a forum to guide yourself.

@Human Mint Many proponents of AI enjoy the fact that skills (and results) are no longer being gatekept by people who have spent years at their craft (drawing would be an example). It can make one feel as if they are accomplishing something without half the work involved. Where that work is sourced from - and by what means - can be an issue. It bypasses the potential joy of the process of skill acquisition and application itself to expedite a result.

The sun doesn't (and never did) require my belief. It's just there. Evident. Self-sufficient. Unaffected by anyone's opinion. Gravity is the same. Electricity is the same. Technology is the same. There are clear mechanisms and principles that when applied, they generate the same results universally, regardless of belief or lack thereof. I can't deny it (the sun, gravity, electricity, technology, etc...), even if I wanted to. Even if the whole world denied it. We can debate its nature and its qualities. We can create narratives about it, like flat earth. But we can't deny it. The fact that it exists remains despite lack of accurate comprehensive narrative. If your belief in something is so fragile (i.e. dependent on what others think of it), then that says more about the validity of your belief, and less about others whom you blanket labelled as "skeptics". Contrast that with my belief in the sun, you can deny it all you want, and my belief will remain intact, and the sun will remain intact. Why call it "risk"? A more positive mindset will take it on as a challenge. An even more positive and generous one would just give away manifestation powers to everyone around. If I am a blind person, and you can awaken the gift of vision in me, it makes sense that you would want to do it, with or without a price tag. So why so scared? Did you manifest the disbelief (i.e. the risk)? If so, just stop manifesting it and crawl back into your little fragile, although comfortable world. We're not there yet. Until we can assert that the phenomenon is actually real (i.e. there is a clear direct link between mental processes and the physical world), any suggestions about mechanisms is at best speculative and at worst delusional. I didn't open the links you provided. I assume it's more of the same. -
How do you diferentiate copying vs not copying? In reality I don't think that's much of an issue. Every human sure copies. But there are dishonest and honest ways. Can't you intuit that? My stance is that AI is used by grifters more than anything. They didn't generate anything more than the model, but they sell it as if they did. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Best thing I ever did. No regrets (not going the lie, the process was difficult). The difficulty for me was I had no set duration, path or outcome. I just had to dive in. On the other side I am much more aligned and congruent across the board. I make better decisions. I am more authentic. Confident. Peaceful. Happiness becomes redefined in a way. Peace becomes it. Lots of pleasure seeking stopped. It was like ripping up the dodgy under-engineered foundation of my building and demolishing the whole thing. Then rebuilding with proper footing, rebar and structure. I can build, extend and have more load bearing capacity for life's troubles with this new building. But it is disillusioning when you are in the middle of the process. With nothing but rubble and destruction around you -

That's, not thinking, just following what someone else says is - not thinking. Since the jury couldn't find lindsay clancy guilty, you agree with them? Since 2020 election investigation came up empty, you agree Biden won? Since OJ got off you believe he's innocent? Casey Anthony? You think it was right that rodney king won his $10mil lawsuit against the cops? George Zimmerman and Derek Chauvin correctly imprisoned? Jan 6ers correctly imprisoned? Again you're acting like you're just being impartial, but you're actively campaigning for these assailants, no one asked your opinion, you came here screaming bloody mary like a little girl... for them to not be investigated. You're being stupid or lying, you know nothing about this case, you're a weasely woman hater, clear as day protecting guys that sexually assault girls, it's sad. It's okay though this forum protects you little incel cu*** like you protect rapists

I have to say I have learned so much from being on this forum though.

@Jirh hahaha just take the compliment it probably was @Valach then

@Natasha Tori Maru how did that go for you?

I dont often find myself listening to rap.. but when i do.. its Dion-\* Tabakis... The Greek Orthodox Priest who dnt give a fk, he'll play rap, rock, country... Anything you can think, he plays it, including the traditional (or non traditional) chants nd such.
