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.

"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.

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

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."

"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] 16 points 3 weeks ago

"brutal mog, sir"

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"

jfc I just noticed the account name 🤦

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

focuses

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

¿Qué dices?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

It's a rarely used British English version.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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?

[–] Honytawk 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

AI told him not to use that word

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Imagine how mad they would get if the chatbot actually told him this. "Woke!"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago

RATIONAL/LOGICAL
You: 80 (superior tactics)
Her: 15 (emotional, reactive)

EMOTIONAL REGULATION
You: 70 (cold, intermittent bursts of anger)
Her: 10 (in the middle of a panic attack)

VICTIM MENTALITY
You: 0 (the exact opposite of a victim and knows it)
Her: 85 (default mode of victimhood)

CONFLICT HANDLING
You: 100 (extremely direct)
Her: 30 (focusses on past, but quick to refocuss priorities)

HIT POINTS
You: 100 (full health)
Her: 15 (bleeding out from a gunshot wound, about to pass out)

Men will do anything except go to therapy

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks 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] 19 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

I thought it was lo🅱️sters

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I thought it was for Bozo

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

i thought it was for "Balthazar"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago

"Your mother was volatile with poor control last night, Trebek!"

How to win the battle but lose the war.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

i think she was clearly the winner there too

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks 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] 20 points 3 weeks 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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