Go for a hormonal panel, thyroid and bloodwork. I personally troubleshoot issues from the ground up - rule out physiological issues first, then go to psychological. If you can reach out to a women's health doctor or endocrinologist, even better. Unfortunately as progressed as society is - we are still a bit demented with regards to women's health. I had many issues that overlapped with yours and I ended up investigating to discover I had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I found a women's health clinic and worked with an endo to help me manage it. Ruling out physiological I would move to investigating psychological. Depression is NOT just sadness or anxiety. It is debilitating. My heart goes out to you - a million e-cuddles & compassion (づ˶•.•˶)づ♡

Rake me over hot coals and pour acid onto the wounds. I'd rather that. 🤮

@bazera troubleshooting and creative problem solving are the consistent elements through my career that have meant I have excelled in everything I have really applied myself to. And resilience. Really driving at a problem. Sticking with it. So your words resonate across huge domains. I feel like this is happening to Outlook as a microcosm of your point about Windows OS. I had to go into my registry to deactivate the new version and revert to old. I have no idea how it made it to live in the form it is.

Do you think it could mean Aubrey has adopted 'God is love' as a belief?

LEGIT lol It just seems to me like anything in life, the experience of learning from the ground is essential to mastery. AI doing graduates jobs might create a gap in skills; if we shortcut we usually miss wisdom. In this case, the ability to critically assess code.

Our feelings can lead us astray though. There is a reason we use distinctions - to gain awareness. Which is the first step. This process is needed IMO. It is essential to integrate. After integration - that is when the distinctions and concepts need to be discarded. Similar to spiritual process - philosophy and questioning build up understanding to awareness - then we can discard it. I have always felt I built up the scaffolding to stand on, and then I work to remove that ground after the insight is had. Constantly learning and then disintegrating all that was prior. Like a set of steps I am walking up, and after every step, I turn and deconstruct what is behind me. Going straight for 'distinctions are meaningless' can lead to bypassing.

@bazera Interesting analysis. Do you think with AI replacing low level jobs, new entry level people entering the workforce are missing out on learning from the ground up to be able to troubleshoot, asses and review what AI produces? An experience gap is being created. Or do you think the system will need a reshuffle to train and teach undergrads to be able to assess and review what AI produces? It appears a gap could be created where there are those with the wisdom to know when there is code slop, and those who do not have the experience to know what is shit and what isn't. This would necessitate a different set of tools being taught prior to entering the workforce. Dunno, just spitballing. I am not a coder at all.

All the transhumanists coming out of the woodwork 💀

100%

I would rather be dead than have an AI boyfriend! As an aside - we tried to use AI to do some pricing/estimating for construction work.... Lets just say, consumer grade shit has a long way to go. If it can ever estimate for commercial construction.

No, not at all. I think it's a line of questioning I raised for everyone reading - not just you specifically. I thought it might point to mechanisms behind how we come to conclusions. How we become certain. What we trust. I think there has to be a choice involved there.

As in, vision, hearing, smell etc Just a random question with no relation - something I think on a lot ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭

@UnbornTao curious - do you trust all your sensing faculties? As in, you are confident you claim them to be yours and yours alone? Unaltered, untampered?

@theleelajoker alright then let's just forget it all GG

Ralston's apprentice? He's a good lad 🙂
