Google became crap ever since they added AI. Microsoft became crap ever since they added AI. OpenAI started losing money the moment they started working on AI. Coincidence? I think not!

Rational people don't want Abominable Intelligence anywhere near them.

Personally, I don't mind the AI overviews, but they shouldn't show up every time you do a search. That's just a waste of energy.

Women and the folk who don't categorize themselves will never understand the deep masculane urge of self destruction. Of going down in a "blaze of glory" even if you're ultimately wrong.

The stereotype of masculinity was always a meme that drove men to destruction. The tribal warriors and knights of ye olde times idealized this type of crap too. It's been a part of humanity ever since writing was invented, probably longer. It's a strange part of being human.

I guess. And then they removed the "Don't be evil" motto just to drive the point home.

But you have to agree, the company DID become even worse once they started using AI.

Good for you. I Meant as a design choice for a search engine. Why waste electricity?

Why not submerge them and let the dirt dissolve? What is the danger in doing that?

In all things.

1. They got rid of that motto in 2018. And you could theoretically argue that Google was getting worse since its conception in 1998.

How would it be a promotion? It looked nothing like it did in the MCU. It had circuits and other parts like a graphics card does, or a motherboard. The circuit board was a dark blue, I think.

Edit: Turns out I can't read. I read your comment as "Maybe it was a promotion or altered reality (as in ARG)". But no, I don't think that is the case. It's not like remembering a detail wrong, like with the Mandela Effect. I couldn't just have imagined reading several articles on a product. That's not how it works, I don't think.

I think that is literally physically impossible. The strongest you can buy is 96-98%, I think. I don't even think it is possible to distill it past about 99%.

Thank you but no thank you. Back where I'm from this would be seen as an insult, but I get the sentiment.

I should really switch to something else. I've been considering crack and meth, but that's expensive. Although looking at the price of cigarettes these days, it might be a viable alternative soon. Cheers.

Okay. That does not answer the question. I mean, good for you, I guess.

If it was acetone I would believe it. Were you alone? Are you sure nobody drank it? Half a litre of alcohol won't evaporate in just a few minutes from a bottle. Evaporation is related to surface area and temperature. So unless it was 40 Celsius or the thing was in an open container (not bottle) then it would literally be impossible. Unless it was for several hours, but it sounds like you just left it for a couple minutes.

There's still literal millions of pages. I wouldn't be surprised if it's at least mentioned. Yakub is in the files too.

I don't think they make sleep depravation in pill form.

Although...

Wait, is this a serious inquiry? Because I could give you an extensive list of mind-expanding substances I allegedly used in the past. I could even tell you a purely theoretical method of acquiring each of them, as well as the effects they have.

And just so we're clear, I am not offering to sell you non-taxable goods via the internet. It's a terrible business strategy.

You can send me a private message if you're interested in exchanging knowledge/information. I will tell you what you want to know, but in exchange I will expect the same.

Time is an illusion. But I understand, people have jobs and families.

Not related to anything: I think this is the peak of my character arc. I've been visited by an Angel, I insulted a Pig, and I argued philosophy with the World's Dumbest Man. I'm pretty sure this is how myths are made.

And if you do find some time to argue philosophy (and bullshit topics in general), please check out https://lemmy.world/c/Hermes_Collective. Judging by your displayed name and what I've seen on your profile, you'd feel right at home.

I know, shameless plug, sorry. Just check it out if you find time. Hope it's not against TOS, because I'm too lazy to check rn. Cheers! :)

That's one of many reasons I do not respect structures of power. Who says what is right and what is wrong. Not people who say they have the authority do do so, that's for sure. Lables like "masculine" or "functioning" are just lables made up by people to categorize and dehumanize others. Everybody's a person, and everybody has the right to do with their life what they want. But most people don't see that and blindly follow a path that was laid out for them. Is it "masculine" to fight and die in a war you have no stake in? Or is it stupid? Is it "masculine" to want to protect your loved ones? Or is it just human nature?

This is a deep topic, I could literally write several pages about it, but I'll spare you my poor attempts at philosphy. Unless that's what you're into.

A wild misinterpretation of what I meant. Artist's intent and their work are separate from who they are as a person. You can appreciate the art without appreciating the person, and you can hate the art and don't mind a person. What kind of olympic jumps to conclusions are you doing here?

And I disagree, Hitler wasn't THAT bad of an artist. I bet you can't paint as good as he did. I for sure can't. It's not that I like the guy, Hitler was one of THE worst people in human history. I'm just trying to be objective.

Climate change is another can of worms. But it won't kill us if the collapse of civilization can do it first, right?

Although, while extinctions, even mass extinctions are a natural thing, over 50% of the vertebrate population dying out in four decades is indeed a concerning thing. I didn't even know it's THAT bad.

Read my crusty tobacco-infused lips "I am not trying to sell you anything." I literally said so. And even if I did, I'm not a biochemist, just friends with a few of them. It would be easier for me (and probably for you too) to get the extract from a human pineal gland than ISRIB.

Have you tried therapy? I've heard the placebo effect is all the rage nowdays.

And by the way, you can't get into legal trouble by just discussing drugs. I could tell you how to build a bomb, and neither of us would be in legal trouble. There might be some questions, yes, some authorities knocking on some doors, but knowledge is still a free, unregulated resource (if you know where to look (kind of like mining for gold in your backyard)).

And by the by the way, supressing the stress response is not mind-expanding, it's synthetic coping. While you're at it, why don't you just go ahead and turn off other biological responses. Just turn off all of them, why not, become the perfect worker, get exploited at the cost of your human experience. Great deal. No offense, this was meant to be a hyperbolic joke. (apparently I need to specify to be understood). Not the coping part though, that's just my unfiltered opinion.

Marriage as an institution is a scam. The only good thing about it is tax benefits. You don't need a third person to confirm that indeed the two other people do want to be together. Because both of them saying they do was clearly not enough.

Or at least that is my opinion.
