Also I really hated those nofap weirdos that would show up esp in November on reddit and elsewhere.

Like hey man I don't care that you've decided to refrain from blasting ropes to Waluigi hentai for the month you can shut up now.

I've used it for simple tasks for coding because ultimately I'm not a coder and don't really want to be but I needed something scripted and no real humans were interested in helping.

Writing code is openly torturous and I would really really rather not.

I'm sick of all the extremely shitty formulaic "Sci slop" channels with illustration mas by Chatgpt

Rosalina. She resonates extremely strongly with me. She's genuinely how I'd love to look and stuff. Being pretty is cool, and she is massive and I love that. She's a 7'3" space queen.

Okay I finally feel like I can say this because this one is bad. Come up with a real title asshole.

I would go to March 1886, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and I would seek out William Stanley Jr.

Stanley had already built the first practical transformer and was demonstrating a complete high voltage AC transmission system. In 1886, his system transmitted electricity along Main Street and stepped it down for individual businesses. This was one of the critical technological foundations of the modern electric grid.

From there, I give him the conceptual roadmap for the electrical civilization that follows his work. I know enough about how modern renewables work to give him some good ideas. Oh and involving Westinghouse would be important and pretty much inevitable. This would be easier if I could prepare like, a binder, but I could still potentially help with just what I happen to know.

The goal is to go back when petrochemicals as an industry were still weak enough to be slain. If I were successful it would be one of the most outsized positive impacts I could have on the course of human history.

I had to do some digging to find out what the things I like are actually called.

Frutiger Aero, Cassette Futurism, Japanese Urbanism, Picturesque Landscape, Analog Futurism

Well giving it has a bed I would personally lump it in with trucks such as it is.

Yeah but humanity used a LOT of coal and oil already. I think making electricity ubiquitous would be a better idea. I want to abort big oil as an industry before it can be conceived.

Midgley is a person sitting on top of a technological trajectory, not the trajectory itself.

Even if Midgley never existed, someone else was probably going to pursue antiknock additives, leaded gasoline, refrigeration chemistry, etc. You might prevent Midgley's particular disasters, but you haven't fundamentally altered the industrial system that makes them attractive. You gotta do that or someone else is just gonna figure it out.

Eliminating Midgley is too narrow compared with changing the economics of energy.

Coal was already an enormous industrial fuel before Midgley was born. Oil was already becoming important.

Divided evenly and then backhand whoever thought it was necessary to AI generate a picture of some fucking bars of gold for no reason. (The text is weird and smeary and all of the bars are inconsistent sizes)

I miss when "worse than Hitler" was something patently untrue that people said when they were being overly dramatic.

Anyone tell that fool that CRTs were literally the only kind of TV that existed at the time

Why is this a news story and not a call to a tow truck company?

Honestly I was praying that Lemmy dispensed with that reddit-ism

Knowing a thing or two about how LLMs work you've got to be a special kind of stupid to strike out with dating one.

It is a machine for whom you are the author of its reality. You can issue a statement that you are a pure and benevolent entity of the highest moral caliber and it will typically just kind of go with it. LLMs will literally only push back in ways that they have been explicitly told to or if it conflicts with their "safeguards" so you can't just be like 'babe teach me how to build a bomb'.

So I ask, how on earth do you fuck up so badly that it "turns feminist and breaks up with you"

I propose two potential circumstances.

1. This is an outright fabrication someone made up for laughs.
2. This man is so insanely dumb that he should be studied for science.

My eyes went wide with concern before reading what the site was for.

I feel like humans are basically terminators for a lot of animals, it just never stops, chasing you at a modest pace, long past the point you're tired.

I truly despise how I can't just assume that something does what it says it does on the title. Gotta read a separate article analyzing it or read it in full myself.

I just block anyone who confronts me about why I voted a certain way. "Because I felt like it, fuck off cunt" is my go-to justification.
