It's wishful thinking at worst to expect your relationships to not be partial as an adult. Children don't know any better and are blindsided when an adult doesn't love whatever thing they did. Conflict and conditions is just the reality of finite beings interacting with each other. Your better off dispelling any delusions so that you can act more constructively relative to your relationships.

I have lived there.

They removed it the hell?

Norwegians have an unconscious arrogance and sense of exceptionalism about their country, though they don't say it out loud like an American could. There's this sense of invincibility and detachement from reality, like bad things is something that only happens "out there". It's a quiet nauseating atmosphere. It's not just that they are spoilled, but existentially they are closed minded to how reality actually is (especially relative to violence). It's like, because they are so spoilled they can afford to rest on their protestant laurels. I don't know how true it is, but I remember hearing a rumor that during the Breivik shooting emergency call operator would hang up on people because they refused to believe that something like a mass shooting could happen in Norway.

Easy slop for piggies.

That's cute lol. You get the strange urge to protect.

It's a kind of a skewed statistic because most women would be too afraid to walk around alone at night and don't get nearly as involved in risky activities like dealing drugs. I bet a lot of the violent crime is concentrated within criminal circles.

That's kind of the crux of the issue. I don't think cold approaching has ever really been that common. Everyone I know who's been in a relationship has been through social circle, including the older people I know.

An LLM can't do that because it can't think originally. It doesn't matter how much you scale it up.

More computing power doesn't follow that it becomes sentient. Computing power just increases. It's a leap in logic to assume that scaleability turns into general intelligence.

That's currently just a fantasy. There doesn't exist anything that approaches that nor do we know where to even begin. We don't know if it's possible. It's like saying "one day we'll have flying cars". No, what you get is tanks with fur. The future is nigh impossible to predict in a neat way that follows some kind of popular archetype. The popular idea of AI is just the idea of a computer scaled up in a linear fashion till it becomes so powerful it becomes sentient and smarter than humans. It's a mythical conventien of how computers work from the 80s.

That's also very algorythmic, because it's the thing people are talking about. "Tons" is also an exaggeration when it's merely a fraction of the total population making anecdotes. It's an echochamber. Even the research that the article here is based of is of a small sample size from memory. It's all very anecdotal (with an incentive to talk about it) and I think there is a lack of solid data. How do you even know people where ever "approaching" in the first place?

Being reactionary without understanding what's actually being said.

If you have the cure, why don't you go and make fat stacks and save lives?

Speaking of intelligence, one issue I see lot is a general lack of comprehension ability, especially online. So often people will go "what's wrong with Y" when you wrote X unless you meticulously handhold people through your thoughts, leaving nothing between the lines. And even then people will misread you because they get emotional or are biased.
