Same here friend, same here. Humanity/nature will survive either way. Evolution will filter the bad stuff out of us either way. That's what it has been doing for hundreds of millions of years.
It is a coping mechanism to not be worried I guess. So I'm not necessarily worried for humanity, it's just that I'm too altruistic to not care about those people. I can guarantee you that there are a huge amount of people that couldn't care less about the people being trapped by AI systems.
The people that are already in the pit of despair are not who I am trying to save by stigmatizing. By stigmatizing, I try to prevent the normalization of AI relationships, to prevent people from ending in that pit of despair before they get there.
The people that are already in that pit of despair can only be saved by seeing the light. I can't provide that to them, because I'm also just a stranger on a screen. That should be somebody real or on a platform meant for socializing instead of discussion.
I'm not talking about antidepressants, I'm talking about non-medical drugs. Many depressed people fall in that spiral of depressed ---> drugs ---> slightly less depressed ---> even more depressed ---> more drugs ---> repeat.
Same with people talking to LLMs for social connections.
I wasn't talking about medical antidepressants, these can help when taken in controlled amounts.
It is clear you have grown up in another country. You are just trying to drive how you are used to drive in another country. That doesn't make how you are used to drive safer and the system any more unsafe.
"Bumperkleven" is forbidden. Whoever is creeping up to you in a few meters is breaking the law. You are also not supposed to merge back to the lane right in front of the other driver. I barely even see this happening. Most people just stay in their lane after taking somebody over, unless someone else with a higher speed is getting closer from behind them.
why the fuck should the person getting overtaken slow down? That adds unpredictability to the equation, for the person overtaking and the person behind you. That is super dangerous if you've been doing that. The slower the process, the better the situation is under control. You don't want sudden changes in the situation on the road. Just keep driving with a constant speed, the people around you will be able to predict where you'll be and the situation on the road becomes much simpler. You are the driver people are saying "wtf is he doing" if you've been slowing down while getting overtaken. Two cars driving next to each other is not a dangerous situation. Where did you get that from???? Our infrastructure allows for it because the lines on our roads are super clear. It is only dangerous if somebody didn't notice the car besides them or forgets they are there. But that's dangerous no matter the situation, not just because they are side-by-side.
Never seen this happen. People being overtaken always keep driving at the speed they are driving at. You are the only person here suddenly slowing down while being overtaken. You are that person you are talking about.
The idea behind it is that the flow of traffic should not be interrupted. The earlier you merge while everybody including yourself is driving at a steady pace, the better. The end of the lane forces the driver to get to a stop, and if you choose to only merge there, you don't have any flexibility there. If you aren't so lucky that you can merge instantaneously without slowing down, you would merge with a speed of zero. This forces the whole other lane to go on their brakes because you want to merge. It interrupts the flow of traffic. Yes, we treat people that try to get in front as people trying to get in front of the line because it fucks everybody else up, yes. I dont know where you got the idea from that your way of doing it is the proper way. It clearly isn't. Merge as early as possible, it allows to keep the flow of traffic flowing.
About speed tickets: if you only go slightly above the speed limit, you'll get a slap on the wrist (an expensive ticket). However, if you drive at dangerous speeds, you just lose your license. So I don't really understand what you are talking about.
AI relationships themselves are abusive. They are the ultimate gas-lighting machines.
That looks really impressive. What does it have to do with the post?
Nah, I'll miss it for another 4 years. It was incredibly fun, except Argentina.
And how The Netherlands got knocked out pretty early.
Village in the Netherlands is the definition of "village" I am using.
I would recommend studying Dutch infrastructure and get some general knowledge about this country.
I'm not talking about very small villages like in Romania that are amidst huge swaths of empty land that are connected by little trains. The Netherlands is densely populated, all the landmass already has a purpose.
"Just build more train tracks" obnoxious naive response.
That's not what we are talking about though. We are talking about people having personal relationships with Large Language Models.
I treat my hammer well, I make sure it doesn't rust and does its job well.
I don't try to fuck my hammer.
Thought about the limiting factor called "workforce"?
