Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

She's entitled to a "default mode of victimhood"! She is your victim!

It’s weird he didn’t say “female” instead of “girl”. Are they finally learning that that one’s a giveaway & women avoid them because of it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Still called her a girl though. Unless he’s really dating someone underage. I guess he might be.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Idk boy/girl are pretty commonly used to describe youngish adults, especially romantic partners.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

True, but he seems like the kind of person who would say man and girl.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 19 hours ago

AI told him not to use that word

[–] [email protected] 13 points 19 hours ago

He’s on the hunt for that one special female who’s really, really into Ferengi.

...and then I pack up my juicer, my humidifier, my dehumidifier, and leave.

This is twenty percent logic, ten percent myope

Fifteen percent concentrated power of cope

Five percent incel, fifty percent lame

And a hundred percent reason to forget his name

I see you're a person of culture. I like it

"When I have a disagreement with a girl, I hit my balls with a hammer. There is absolutely nothing she can do; it's a brutal mog."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

"brutal mog, sir"

"As you can see, the computer clearly indicates I'm the winner of this discussion. Once you've talked to the AI and understand your failures, we can talk."

Sounds like he's a lot of fun.

The instant somebody releases a chat GPT powered sex doll I bet he'll be the first person in line with a pre-order.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 day ago

This is somehow even sadder than "I have depicted you as the wojak".

"I contracted the least efficient computer possible to depict myself as the chad, therefore I win."

self-dodging bullet

How interesting, a volcel who only thinks he’s an incel. Many such cases

jesus fuck so many parts of this are psychic injury

the account name, the presumption of "oh yeah my opinion is right", the very nature of this person's "engagement" (quotes intentional) with conflict, the deference to non-authority (holy fuck how the fuck is it that we have worse than the personal-abdication of christianity (oh right, it's mcfuckingsaltman's fault)).....

I want to say "some of these people are in desperate need of a hug", but then as a friend of mine pointed out recently: "maybe if they weren't all such self-loathing pieces of shit they may actually get a hug"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

jfc I just noticed the account name 🤦

The Dao that posts through it on Twitter is not the true dao

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

1000% chance it's Distributed Autonomous Organization (cryptoshit) and not the one and true Way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

Shit, someone make me a time machine so I can go make a joke back in 2016 when it would have been relevant.

Ah the obvious telltale sign of AI writing, the misspelling of focuses. Gets em every time.

And now I've learned that focusses is a thing in places. placces. placesses.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

I think he would definitely win her back if he told her that she “foci too much on the past”

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does all AI use American English? Focusses is an acceptable variant in various other regions.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

I think ChatGPT uses Nigerian English (see also: delve)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

focuses

I have not heard nor seen this before, is it really that consistently misspelled?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Almost as often as "dices", I'd wager. 🤢🫢

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

¿Qué dices?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It's a rarely used British English version.

Your significant other now knows what it's like to date a computer, this is not a compliment.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Classy. It's funny they're trying to "reach AGI" with all this shit but they code the bots with the equivalent of Jordan Peterson's take on how emotionality is a sickness. Well plaid (SIC).

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

always remember that the "B" in "Jordan B Peterson" is for "Benzos"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago

i thought it was for "Balthazar"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago

I thought it was for Bozo

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I thought it was lo🅱️sters

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like a wonderful opportunity to use this douchebag's creds to rack up ridiculous charges on his OpenAI account then ghost him.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

I just read something the other day that a single query like this one burns enough electricity to charge an iPhone 100 times or whatever the hell. It sounds like hyperbole but I think that number is close.

This is how humankind ends. A guy asking a fucking computer to validate his insecurity infinite times. This is how ai ultimately destroys us.

How to win the battle but lose the war.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

If you classify your relationship as a war, maybe you really shouldn’t have one.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

i think she was clearly the winner there too
