Its programming skills are actually insanely impressive. And it can fix its mistakes if you point them out. Here I gave it really contrived instructions for a python program and it almost gets it right first try. I point out that it made a mistake, and it fixes it!!! Its end solution is not exactly the nicest solution, but it's technically correct. And the fact it can fix mistakes if you point them out is exceptional.

I’ve worked with him before. I don’t wanna reveal too much since you can trace it back to me in real life quite easily. He was really nice and seemed super genuine on the first project. Then he ghosted me out of nowhere on the second project Tried to reconcile months later but I imagine that was just because he had another project idea. I was busy so I didn’t reply Make of that what you will. I think he’s probably a pretty genuine dude overall

Why are you so keen to draw the line at art? Where has your valiant heart been while factory workers have been losing their jobs to automation and more primitive AI for a century? Why do you care so strongly only now that your job is threatened?

@Tyler Robinson Did you get the idea for that topic from Kanye? I think I remember you fangirling over him a while back Either way, it’s a conversation that has a high risk of devolving into conspiracy, racism and stereotyping (which are all against forum guidelines) without offering any clear benefit worth that risk

At the moment this is a valid argument, but if you look at ChatGPT for example it is able to combine pretty complex instructions and produce things like programming code based on those requirements. It’s basic and it makes mistakes just now but it’s already very impressive, and if you look at how fast AI technology is improving… hmmm

What did she mean by that?

@Tyler Robinson There are tons of high quality freelance developers who will do almost anything you can think of. Non-technical people think they got 'scammed' because they hire the cheapest developer and expect them to replicate something like a twitter app for minimum wage or less and then are disappointed with the results. They didn't get scammed, they got exactly what they paid for. I worked for a freelance developer as an intern (websites not apps, but roughly same idea) who was probably one of the best developers of the particular framework he was an expert on in the country. He worked freelance because it offered him more flexibility, more pay, and he wanted to grow his own business. But some of the bespoke web apps he produced were exceptional. And actually, one of the groups who are MOST likely to scam you are overly corporate IT companies, not freelancers. They may often charge a company ridiculous prices for an average (at best) end product that takes them quite a long time to produce. For example my university paid Oracle around £15 million for the bit of software that manages our students information and class timetables, and it is buggy, slow, looks like it was built in the late 90s and is almost impossible to navigate. They also paid a further £1-2 million for follow up maintenance. And it's not like that software does anything all that special or unique.

The way you write this sounds exceptionally creepy and a tad delusional lol

My personal preference is nightgame because it actually feels like fun instead of a chore. But it will be different for everyone. Daygame is also pretty risky in terms of being perceived as a creep.

I agree with you about day game. But in theory a guy who knows what he is doing could make these two scenarios indistinguishable.

The thing is that TONS of couples meet this way. So you can't just rule out the grocery store as a way to meet a partner. What's creepy is going out specifically to approach women at a grocery store. If you happen to see a girl you think is really special and cute when you're out and about doing what you do normally, going and talking to her isn't weird most of the time if you possess basic social skills. It's probably how a sizeable chunk of couples meet, lol.

No one really knows, is the only truthful answer. It probably depends on you. I’ve gone through periods of my life where I watch porn and where I don’t and it doesn’t seem to matter much for me as far as I can tell. I’ve settled on a moderated approach for the time being. I think it probably depends on why you watch porn. If you are doing to to cope with being lonely and unable to attract girls then it’s probably pretty unhealthy.

A) Generally it’s pretty rude to go into a cafe and tell people to leave and come to your cafe instead. That’s roughly analogous to what happened. B) I happen to think the cult risk argument is pretty valid too, but that’s harder to prove. Spirituality/self-help communities are weird and unique in that they attract wacky people. The not so wacky people have a responsibility to look out for the wacky ones. Discord is a much easier environment for wacky people to be subtly influenced into being even more wacky C) Dynamics that force people to be a little on edge about what they post and not just rattle off whatever is on their mind is also better for personal growth which is supposedly why we are all here. D) People don’t want a discord server because it will help them grow, people want one because it’s a more efficient distraction

People who look like they’re trying too hard are cringe. Most people on club dance floors barely dance at all anyway, it’s mostly two-stepping, swaying, head movement and fist pumps I see people doing. If you are the one giving a full on performance you’ll look like a prick and people will laugh at you, unless maybe it’s like crazy impressive but that’s unlikely on a crowded dance floor if you just fuck about, feel into your body and joke around with people no one is going to laugh at you

Chaos might actually kill someone here. Read my above comment.

I don't think you realise how severe and risky it really is. People in this community have committed suicide because of misunderstood teachings. Are you really willing to take responsibility for people's lives? It's also just plain rude to steal people from another platform to your own discord. You could argue you're acting very much in your own self-interest there, and putting people at risk while doing it.

You are one guy.

In my field of work there’s a term called a help vampire. Someone who asks for help so much to avoid doing work to change or improve, basically. Not saying this is you at all, I’m arguing generally against the point you make about asking for help a lot. And my point is that asking for help all the time is often a way your mind can distract you from doing the work that really matters. You get hits of dopamine when you ask for help and people reply, it makes you feel like you’re making progress and doing work even if that’s not necessarily the case. Again, I know you may take this personally but I don’t think this applies to you. I’m simply arguing against your general point about asking for help a lot.

Just because there’s demand doesn’t mean it’s healthy or productive. Short form chat is more chaotic, heated and emotional and it’s much easier for people to have their emotional state pumped up, which is a precursor for brainwashing and cults forming. It sounds extreme but the field this forum is in (spirituality) attracts people who get sucked into things like that. There have been a few suicides related to people essentially misinterpreting teachings for example. So it’s no laughing matter and lack of moderation + chaotic, emotional chats can have serious consequences.

It’s not like you are arguing in great faith either. You also write in a fairly arrogant/denouncing manner. And I argued with the substance of your point plenty of times previously but I don’t think we will see eye to eye on that. Leo’s argument above is similar to mine but written far more eloquently and concisely so debate against that if you want substance. The general impression I get from you on this topic is really similar to old conservative factory workers scared of losing their jobs to machines, that is the core point of my admittedly pretty aggressive post above. Progress is inevitable and your opinions about stopping it are like grains of rice in the grand scheme of things

Most of these women are living in countries where the population is predominantly white guys, it's more of a sampling issue than anything. There are whole cliques of women who fetishize black men My best friend in school was a 5'5 Bangladeshi guy who did way better with hot women when we went to uni than I did.

Welcome to fucking progress my dude. If you follow this argument to its logical conclusion you should just return to the stone age and live off the land, draw your art on cave walls with bone dust and dye. Most of the things in your field of view as you read this were items of technology that replaced other people's jobs in the past. You live in a world that exists because it has smashed and destroyed the jobs of the past by trivialising them. Yet newer challenges always arise that operate at a higher level of abstraction and require newer and more creative ways of thinking. How can you be so arrogant as to think that your profession should be exempt from technological progress while living in a world and society that was built completely upon hyper-technological progress? If it's not about the end product then stop monetising your art and do it for free. You'll still be able to do that no matter how good AI art becomes. You just might not be able to make a living doing it, but you won't be the first profession to fall to technological progress and you won't be the last.

Am both, and it's certainly not that easy. It still takes lots of work. Especially if you're kinda shy naturally.

You can push your way through the crowd. It takes some getting used to but most people accept others are going to push by them on the dancefloor to go meet their friends or to take a piss etc. As long as you don't actually shove anyone or aggressively bump into anyone you can be fairly direct about pushing by people. Basically just don't be a dick while also being assertive while moving by people.
