@selentelechia FB moms: "You put your children in a moving car? 👀👀"

@sidewayskoyote @selentelechia I think you misread: still in the back seat, just facing forward instead of backward.

@tallsnail Savage. "if you're into that sort of thing m8"

@chercher_ai Is "posting" what I want to be doing?

@daniellellecco It's kind of woo, but have you read Existential Kink?

Could be, but our society is so far over in the Punish the Wicked retribution camp that we can barely distinguish bloodlust from justice. Imagine a world where you cheat on your spouse and your relationship heals and becomes stronger because of it. What would all the guilt, blame, and chastising along the way amount to then?

@daniellellecco Any wrongdoing *can* be forgiven. This is, like, the only valuable thing that Jesus taught. Forgive and be forgiven. Prevent harm, yes. Do unto others yadda. But always forgive. We're really very small creatures in this universe.

@davidbessis In other words, how would it even be possible for these savant abilities to exist if something brain-structural weren't involved?

@seltzergenius Also, yeah man, you get used. That's what being a good person is. Replace "person" with "doctor", "mechanic", "accountant", whatever--what do you imagine people are going to be asking you for? When you're a good person, you give of yourself.

@moki_es @SupSenAssoc @powerbottomdad1 Wabi. Sabi.

@gr_oc @SupSenAssoc @powerbottomdad1 Are you asking for help fixing your fence? I'll help fix your fence, friend!

@daniellellecco The vulnerability shown here is staggering. You are human. We make mistakes. Shit happens. Maybe you get a divorce, maybe not, you can have a beautiful life either way. That is not license to hurt people, it's an entreaty to help heal the pain everywhere. ❤️

@chercher_ai So would I! I would love to hear an original Claude symphony! But we hold onto the sanctity of concerts because *people* struggle to play and compose. Claude doesn't struggle.

Right. Why even sit down for that? Moreover, why put the wear and tear on the instruments, just record all the symphonies and replay them through speakers. Better yet, just make more sophisticated MIDI programs and play those. Why stop there? Why not just put the music in our heads—why add to the noise pollution? A robot/AI cannot be said to have "talent" because they do what they're designed and built to do. A car isn't "good at" driving—that's its entire function.

Step 1: Actively wreck the economy Step 2: Create a depression Step 3: Blame the depression on immigrants and undesirables Step 4: Militarize the society and wage internal and external war Step 5: War profiteering

@MarkFriedenbach @RandomSprint I agree, engineering is second only to a classic liberal arts education.

@RandomSprint @the_octobro This conversation keeps coming back to that. Big Water, what are you not telling us?
