    Could just be my ultra sensitive ass, but the older I get and the more traditional big milestones of life I miss out on (getting a house, getting engaged, starting a family, etc), any response from a boomer that is some variation of “and there’s nothing wrong with that” just seems like pity

    Fuck those people

    I don’t typically keep up with sports but why can’t the people being annoying about Lebron James’ son keep that same energy for nepotism in general

    I hate it. For some reason it’s cool and good to get a job because of your daddy but once it happens in sports? wojak-nooo

  • Despite the many calls of activist groups claiming it is “No different from death” (people posting on TikTok and making YouTube videos on the topic) the service is subject to a pilot period before an initial rollout. At this time, there is not a piece of legislation that can definitely say whether AI meets this criteria after numerous lawsuits against OpenAI failed to meet the standards for plagiarism, except in the case of prompts targeting a “protected financial entity”, a clause from a case in the landmark Corporate Freedom Act co-authored by Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley in 2028 and backed by some prominent democrats and progressives in Congress.

    Unfortunately I know what it’s like to be managed by the kid who asks the teacher for homework

    But in corporate, this kid will try to use chatgpt to automate the tasks of people in other departments but when he realizes it’s not as easy as he thought, he assigns it to you to automate. Then he shows it off to his c suite boss and gets further praise

    Corporate social climbers are an absolute plague.

    Does anyone know what causes burnout?

    It’s like you’re super engaged and feel like you could do x forever until you suddenly crash. Then you’re bored for either a second or like a month (no rhyme or reason but the chaos in front of you) until the next thing comes along. But Godamn that boredom is real and often leads to sadness. I need a why to the whole thing Christ I don’t know if this is relatable, but it explains a lot of my problems be it people I’m obsessed with for a sec and genuinely think I love or a different type of work assignment or a hobby of some kind

    It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s that I literally do not know what to do. Like why do some people get hugs without initiating and just assume I don’t like hugs Is this relatable whatsoever

    FTL: Faster than Light, 12th anniversary - New General Megathread for the 14th-15th of September
  • stigsbandit34z stigsbandit34z 1mo ago 100%

    Hi, friend – please, please, please read this message. I am getting really worried and need you to see this immediately. For months, polls have shown me locked in a statistical tie with my Trump-endorsed opponent, Sam Brown. Now, the GOP and outside groups are flooding Nevada with tens of millions of dollars – and my lead is shrinking. Tight margins are risky in any election, but in a race as competitive and high stakes as this, it could be catastrophic. Will you split $10 or whatever you can between my campaign and Adam Schiff right now to help me fight back and secure a victory in this must-win battleground race? Republicans are absolutely thrilled to see this news. The GOP came incredibly close to flipping Nevada red last time, losing by just 0.77% of the vote. They have drastically intensified their efforts to unseat me, and with every dollar they pour into Nevada, they get one step closer to finally flipping my seat, the state, and the Senate red. The clearest path to the Senate and White House counts on Nevada, so we can't take any of this information lightly. All I’m asking for is your help. Please split a donation of $10 between my campaign and Adam Schiff to help me win in Nevada and defend our Senate majority from MAGA Republicans. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Jacky Rosen and Adam Schiff will go through immediately:

    Dems have captured my personal email following Bernie’s 2020 run. I think it’s time to say goodbye 😔

    So most salaries are based on your position in the social hierarchy and it’s never been about work, right?

    As someone who has been a planner/organizer my entire life, it makes me want to blow my brains out when my boss makes twice my salary to be far less efficient than myself

    It’s just really really hard for me to accept I guess, but that quality is super important in climbing the fascist corporate ladder. Missed out a spot in the social hierarchy with my mega social awkwardness though But yeah, preaching to the choir, but the higher you climb in corporate America, the less value you produce and the more you get paid. Maybe we should skip unions and fast forward to finding like-minded people for well-regulated militias. Death to America

    Like I genuinely feel if I’ve heard a song enough times, I can repeat it in my head and still get the same enjoyment as actually listening to it. Maybe everyone can do that idk But I do know that the only thing I don’t have is speed, otherwise I’d basically have perfect pitch 🥲

    I’m honestly just way too concerned about what other people think and have been as long as I can remember

    And it’s hitting as hard as it probably could right now. Does anyone else wish they could just live life in a vacuum, their decisions completely unperceived

    It really just seems like fearmongering about things most marginalized people go through everyday. Is it just the same” old things will continue to get worse as a result of everything infinitely growing” that’s been happening since the US was founded? I saw some goon from the heritage foundation go on tv and threaten leftists but idk if it has crazy uncle energy or whether that’s something someone with actual power is thinking

    Does anyone else have extreme trouble dealing with what comes after the honeymoon phase when dating?

    I’ve only dated two people (I think I’m about to fuck this current situation up) but it seems like I don’t know how to handle it when the novelty of a new relationship somewhat calms down on my end and I’m dealing with someone who is ostensibly over attached and saying all of these wild things and love bombing me. Things seemed to be going so well for us, but they suddenly became super physical when their lack of physicality was the exact reason I chose to date them in the first place, and that sort of took me aback :/ I’m posting in the nd forum because I suspect this is an example of not being able to deal with change (we’re on the same wavelength for a bit then I return to reality while they stay up in the clouds). It also takes up a loooooooot of energy. Shit suuuuuuuuuuuucks because I truly thought I had found the one :/

    Honest to god, it was ingrained into my head as a child that he wanted to kill anyone who used a computer. But seeing how ridiculous that sounds today and how it sounds eerily similar to any critique of capitalism, I’m thinking he has *parts* of a communist ideal. It really looks just like someone who could be a radical leftist but decided to become a fascist at the last minute. And it’s also so fucking absurd it helps me understand why there’s a guy that thinks everything big is an op I guess I’m basically asking how he is read by the hexbear powers that be

I have yet to see one implementation of chatgpt that is not just stealing someone’s script on stackoverflow or some forum from decades ago and synthesizing it with some other information. Totally doesn’t violate any IP laws whatsoever though! Where are the philosophers when you need them? All of this shit is a consequence of Zuckerberg and a host of other Silicon Valley sociopaths bypassing any semblance of learning about humanity and locking themselves in a dark room and feeding their fragile egos because they can’t interact with humans. Humanity really did a great job allowing these guys to exist 👍 lol it’s honestly just going to get worse and worse. More and more people will be on the periphery of mass inequality with this garbage and just enough of them will have enough to afford the latest wire tap that brings them circuses.

    People view dominance in sports the same way as fucking colonization and conquest. I was trying to be charitable and thought that maybe, just maybe they were appreciating talent, but nope lol You see this with Caitlin Clark, the yt basketball player people hyped up and said would destroy the WNBA. And she very well could still, but there has been zero self reflection from the same people who don’t view the WNBA as “serious” Holy shit burger Americans suck so much. Every day I learn something new that builds the case for mass reeducation

    There’s also the question of has there been ever been any radical media (I’d argue no), but I feel like civil war could have been so much better had they actually taken a side you know? And I feel like there is some value in being on the fence from an entertainment POV but I sort of expected art from A24 Like does anyone remember that one show (adult swim maybe) where they pushed boundaries so fucking much to the point of asking a child to ask people on Wall Street who they exploited? It really seems like the daily show on the street segments mocking people with no power other than who they choose to vote for has taken over. It’s so fucking ominous because I know some of those people sure and they should be subject to reeducation, but each and everyone got a lucky break to*maybe* retire one day Like when you think about it like that, what are we fucking doing

    Any day now wages will increase I guess. Any day now the price of a house will be affordable to a human who makes an average salary. Any day now the job market will rebound and AI will be cleaned up and regulated so that everyone has an opportunity to live Are people just in denial that we are living in a dystopia? The only people I know in my life who have “made it” stumbled into the the most extreme circumstances (some out of complete tragedy and others out of luck), and everyone else is a hamster on a wheel Anyway, any destinations for expat curious people?
