Because it's an artificial limit. That's why. From your response, I gather you don't really understand what I am meaning.

@Atb210201 I am sorry to hear you have this belief

No. Too absolute. It can be done. You just have to be mature & realistic about it.

Clear, easy. Prose flows. I think you avoid unnecessary verbosity and select the simplest most succinct words. The substance of the posts are complex enough without needing the additional cognitive labour of tracking a sentence with multiple commas, parenthesis or pauses. Short and sharp. I think the writing is most effective when you begin with super short sentences and gradually lengthen them. Unsure if this is consciously done, but it's impactful.

@Zenterus I can erase it - if you hide it with the options panel this will also make disappear. Mods can reinstate at request

Peaking at the club, sticky floors sweat and saucer eyes - wait for it 2:48

WTF you can do this? Done. The database is huge now >.< Thanks heaps!

I am aware. It still remains that a cognitive bias is being trained when you engage in pickup methodology. Something is wrong if most signals are being read as sexual. Or if one small signal is being extrapolated to "I cannot have a platonic relationship with the opposite sex".

The last 2 pages here haven't really achieved much in terms of the OP. No more derailing.

I've spent the last week building up a database and teaching Claude how to extract rates, information, pricing, time and labour with data from previous construction projects (invoices, quotes, cost databases, estimating spreadsheets etc). Some of the data I have fed to it is from paid sources. I've also been gradually feeding in Australian Standards/NCC. Basically feeding it all of our construction trade pricing broken down into each trade sector (indirect/direct costs): preliminaries, access/hire, carpentry, electrical, mechanical, fire, metalwork, doors, windows, plaster... civil etc etc. You get the picture. I've also shown Claude how to format and present all it spits out. I have been outlining our methodology. What each figure means as in applies in the field (pros and cons to different methods). What is comparable, where risk is. All assumptions and qualifications. How recently the data was obtained. Typical conditions for our unique type of work etc. I just realised how much this is actually WORTH, in terms of accurate and current ability to price construction projects (if you know what you are doing). Estimating is a competitive field in construction - you would never outsource estimating or make construction estimating a business. Each builder bids against the next. It is all done in house. I will be clear this isn't generating an estimate from a set of plans - much of that requires so much real physical world intuitive knowledge AI isn't capable of. I don't know if this applies to this thread - but I figured you guys might appreciate the use of AI here. I am a little scared someone could steal this! I've shaved off 40% of the time spent on various tasks alone with this little project

High chance you are just misreading signals. You have trained yourself to look for them - yes? That's training a bias. Just don't act. Sexual tension is just part of life. I honestly don't see the dilemma. If you feel you need to lay out a boundary - do so. Then move on.

Without additional context we can't really help you understand what is happening in your experience.

It is an interesting line of enquiry (quantum aspects). Enjoyed reading the back and forth! 💫 Do you perceive a link?

Replying to something he isn't directly saying, but that you take as an assumed truth behind the arguement required for it to be true.

@Wilhelm44 I think you might be unintentionally incorrectly inferring a lot from what Leo is stating.
