Oh no I just installed proxmox and some stuff on an old laptop last sunday. Is this my future?

There is a disconnect between what computer scientists understands as AI and what the general public understands as AI. This was previously not a problem, nerds give confusing names to stuff all the time, but it became a problem after this latest hype cycle where incurious laypeople are in charge of the messaging (or in a less charitable interpretation, benefit from fear of the singularity™). Doesn't help that scientific communication is dogshit.

They do once their depression gets better though? Anhedonia, loss of interest/libido/attention/whatever the fuck else are symptoms of depression. I'm all for self-improvement, my own mental health improved greatly as a result of trying to improve myself, to the point I consider myself no longer depressed. But we're social creatures and no one builds self-confidence and mental resilience in a vacuum. It's often up to the depressed person to put themselves out in situations where this can happen, but sometimes it does not work out for whatever reason and the whole thing is a long process. In this situation self-compassion is a lot better than telling yourself you're a sack of shit.

Also, isn't the interesting life thing all backwards? If you like a person you get curious and find them interesting. If I like a guy I'll find what they are into cool, be it singing, playing chess or knowing a lot about bugs.

No one is owed that kind of attention, but most people are worthy of compassion.

So this guy has the time to complain about vuvuzela no food but not to provide some context for the indictment, instead linking to a 39 page pdf? And the rest of the article is just factoids about gold?? Western journalists are a fucking disgrace.

Also England ~~stole~~ withheld like 1 billion $ in gold from Venezuela, but I guess that tidbit didn't make the cut

Mengele is the right comparison because this is not just some oafs botching a surgery, this is sadist shit.

Also the poor monkey finding some comfort by holding hands with her "roommate" through the cage makes me want to cry

Yes. Also the other Daniel Mullins games.

I don't think so, sounds like american civil religion brainworms. Just a slightly more secular version of "what would Jesus think?"

Bethesda games in general. Maybe I will give Morrowind another try eventually (only played like an hour) but my experience with the other ones discourages me greatly. Gameplay is boring, balancing is non existent ( you either steamroll or have to cheese encounters). People always point out the cool quests and lore but they are buried in a mountain of mediocre slop. Aesthetically, apart from Morrowind I find them really dull. I do give them props for the modding support tho, I've started playing the forgotten city and having a blast, and that was originally a Skyrim mod.

Also a link to the past. Maybe it's because it's the most "vanilla" Zelda ever got.

When people here seek out stuff on the other instances to post there yes, but a lot of the time it's people coming here and kicking the hornets nest in which case I don't think it's brigading at least in spirit.

Brigading is a dumb concept anyway, but trying to convince ex-redditors of that is a waste of time

Boomer is not a slur, and treating it like one comes across as in bad faith. We've dealt with wrecker shit stirrers for a long time now and this behavior is really played out by this point.

If you're being sincere and being treated like a fed irks you please provide additional context. If not please reformulate your approach to at least be funnier.

IIRC in the old chapo sub posts about Amber caused heated discussion, the predictable nature of which was mocked by a bot that replied "Amber." to every occurance of the word, regardless of context. Or at least that's my read on it, it's kind of an inscrutable bit.

I'll choose to believe that thread is full of children. I mean their way of thinking is so infantile.

We want real life to be like the science fiction movie.

Robots = Progress.

People are "harassing" delivery robots which are definetly sentient they even gave them little eyes.

Blaming people for stealing from these things that apparently don't even have locks

I didn't expect better from r/singularity, but looking at this stuff is really sad. This is the future these people settled for.
