@carlaconwifi People grasped onto the concept that it was supposedly cheaper. As soon as it went mainstream it was obvious they're trash rentals with none of the luxuries an optimised system can offer (staff , gym , restaurants , cleaners).
People say Australian housing is expensive. But my experience was different. We moved from Hong Kong and rolled over the HK apartment equity into a Sydney apartment of the same price. THREE TIMES as large, better insulation, better location, wow.
Australians complain because they want a suburban house, because they like spending every weekend lacquering their porch instead of spending time with their kids. Very hard to understand, but it's a mass psychosis kind of thing here.
Over theorising incels are the only ones who comment on dating and socialising in these deeply negative and “factual” ways.
I would take up that offer bro, it’s novel and interesting. Even if I didn’t know who it was.
People want to be with enjoyable company; charming , intelligent , amusing , and of course successful.
I don’t expect anyone , a girlfriend or just a friend to want to hangout at McDonald’s, but if someone offered me a free trip , or an awesome party, hell yeah!
Stop over theorising and pretending these sort of prioritising behaviours are evil. Everyone does this stuff. I’m not taking any advice or observations from incels.
Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.
What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.
"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."
"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."
These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.
And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.
Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."
The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.
@Babanabreand Never actually thought about this. I believe it is true. We have the best quality of life, thus, important parts of our life (food, entertainment, comfort) must be incredibly good to thrive.

@_chase_____ Oh yeah , let’s eat the refrigerated same meal sloppa all week 😷🤕.
No.
Going to the shops is an easy and fun outing ; coffee. Vegetables for dinner, butcher.
Plus, things go on sale everyday, and new things come in. You’re missing out.
this is a flawed analysis. "stock day trading" losses of 80% comes from a single cherry-picked taiwanese source when a cursory check shows obviously better results. eToro: 61%, IG: 68%.
