Didn’t see a video, but:




I’ve seen many screenshots of people genuinely doing that. It’s disturbing.
“My BF and I are arguing, help me win.”
“Tell me how to respond to this girl I’m interested in.”

Right? Put a tasteful family crest behind it, and you’ve got some wall art.
I suppose they’re better than tarantulas… Ugh
That’s getting pretty serious
Thank you, I was wondering if it would land.
Congrats on the win! Pick something good.
It’s bean too long.
It’s a good word to learn. Thank you.
(excuse me, I just need to google something totally unrelated really quick…)
Ah, yes! It is indeed my eponymous maneuver.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Sending an AI generated email to be read by an AI summary agent. Who needs humans
9·2 months agoYou know, I’ve seen people use the “Chinese Room” thought experiment to argue whether AI is actually thinking or just an intermediary with a workflow, but perhaps we are the ones in the room. Uh oh.

It would be the best selling drug on the market instantly, lol. I bet even dads of that gen felt similarly with their dads.

Oh, for sure. For a lot of these guys, being sedated might be the better than their current state.
My point is just that even the best meds out there can’t make you feel like your dad is proud of you, or that you have a loving family, or that your day to day work is meaningful to people. It’s beyond the scope of modern psychiatric medicine, even though all of our mental existence is chemical.
I think what we call happiness is comprised of more than what drugs can stimulate.
Life satisfaction, purpose, reciprocated love and connection, etc. - these are all things that are more cerebral than what even the best chemical cocktail can offer.

Tap for spoiler
Or you’re going for the double bluff… In which case, touché.
Keeping them right by the bed is certainly a choice.

Every time someone uses this template, I’m afraid.
