I don’t believe in free will or the self. That’s the difference for me here. Just like the hurricane couldn’t have done otherwise, I don’t think that a human could have either. I wouldn’t get angry at a bear attacking me in the forest either - that’s what bears do. Doesn’t mean I like it, or approve of it but I just don’t pretend as if they could have acted any other way.

No, I don’t think the feeling of anger is foreign to anyone. It’s a basic human emotion and we’re all capable of it. By my question I’m rather asking about dwelling in anger thorought the day/week rather than the acute sense of it when something anger-provoking has just happened.

When someone cuts me off in traffic I might go “You son of a…” but then I catch myself getting angry and the feeling of it just kind of vanishes. It doesn’t really withstand any sort of observation. I guess the difference here is getting angry and staying angry.

Hate is an extremely strong emotion. To me, it means basically that you wish they were dead. That I do not feel of anyone. However, I can’t say I intensely dislike anyone either. It’s not quite compatible with the way I see the world. Hating a person, to me, is like hating a hurricane or a volcano. It simply doesn’t make any sense.

What anger?

If the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is true, it implies that everything that can happen will happen - or has already happened. If time travel is possible, this would include every possible outcome of you traveling to the past and altering events.

What I think would happen is that nothing would change in this timeline. Instead, you’d simply travel to another timeline where you made those changes, and you’d experience the consequences of your actions there. However, it’s also possible that such a scenario doesn’t align with the laws of physics, meaning that nothing would happen because time travel to the past - and any related interference - might simply be impossible.

I think he’s an exceptional person in both good and bad. There’s a shit ton of people born into much more wealth than he did but they havent achieved anything even remotely close to what Elon has. Having access to recources helps but it’s not the only factor.

I am doing it but not on OnlyFans and not for money. I’d be more than happy to monetize it if it was that simple but I’m a guy making quite niche content so I’ll stick with the crowd of few thousand Twitter users following me.

Complete waste of time with no positive health benefits you say?

And where has Elmo said he thinks that?

No, it’s actually not. It’s an LLM and it doesn’t have clue what it’s saying. It definitely cannot speak for someone else.

I’ve been doing heavy squats and deadlifts for the past 15 years and I’ve never experienced back pain. I can’t for 100% certainty credit lifting for this but I’d be amazed if it doesn’t play a factor.

EDIT: And hanging. You don’t even need to do pull-ups. Just get a bar from which you can hang daily. It decompresses your spine but also flexes your shoulders. We’re apes after all and hanging is what they do all day every day.

I still hear you implying that, in one way or another, AI content wouldn’t be as good as - or better than - human-made content. If that’s the case, I agree with you: replacing human artists with AI would be a net negative. However, my point is that when the day comes that AI content genuinely surpasses human-made work on every metric we care about, resisting it simply because it’s AI-generated doesn’t make much sense to me.

I still empathize with human artists who may no longer be able to compete, but I see that as part of human evolution - some professions inevitably become obsolete.

That said, as I mentioned, this wouldn’t prevent anyone from continuing as an artist for the joy of it. It would just make it harder to monetize their work.

What a cynical view to live under.

AI can only replace creative industries if the content it produces is better in which case it’s a win for the people consuming that content. When it comes to creators themselves, it’ll be harder to earn a living that way but on the other hand, none of the artists I know are making it for the money and they would continue making it even if AI was better. Myself included.

However, I don’t think it’s either-or situation. AI will just come alongside human made content. There’s a ton of content creators I’d continue following no matter how good AI would get.

Knowing Lemmy, this comment is probably highly downvoted, but this is the likely explanation for it in my opinion as well.

It’s not just the men suffering from this.

Talk about lazy journalism. Apparently Grok AI is now treated as the official spokesperson for Twitter.

I can tell you 100 stories of telling a man to eat more so that they wouldn’t be so skinny.

I don’t think it’s sexist. It’s just rude, no matter who you’re asking. I’d equate it to someone asking me to dress differently as if it’s my job to please them.

Nah, I poop when I wake up, then second time after having my coffee and third time before leaving.
