@gabrielchua "“Please take some time to eat and drink. Take one step at a time - you got it”. Alone in a hotel room, that felt really reassuring."

damn bro sorry to hear that, but isn't that what "friends" and "humans" in general are for?

@witcheer @mewwts @NousResearch also, I think the worst thing about it is the lack of a mobile app. the UX of using it via an app that also does 15 other things (discord, telegram) is terrible. I'm still getting notifications from random servers on discord because I can't just mute all except for my bot

Living an enchanted life means different things at different stages along the path. Before beginning, the world seems mundane: go to school, get a job, make money, buy things, do what you’re supposed to do. Then something begins to feel hollow, and we go looking for more. We discover magick, meditation, gods, angels, spirits, hidden worlds. Reality suddenly becomes mysterious again. But if we keep going, eventually we discover that the forces we were searching for outside ourselves were actually within us all along. The division between the spiritual world and the ordinary world begins to collapse.

Then enchantment takes on an entirely different meaning. You return to the same world you once wanted to escape, only now you realize it was never mundane. You wash the floor with the same attention you would give to cleaning the body of God. You prepare food as an offering. You listen to another person as if the creator of the universe were speaking to you. The later stages of the path aren’t about finding more extraordinary experiences. What the ARE about is becoming completely intimate with ordinary life. You leave this world searching for the enchanted one, only to eventually discover that the enchantment was here all along. You just couldn’t see it yet.

@witcheer @mewwts @NousResearch seems way more difficult to setup, didn't do it. too much mental overhead about profiles, where the profiles live, etc. i want a "create bot" button and have it "just work"

@kloss_xyz also dots not available on the 20$ plan kills it (as in i have to get a grok bot sub instead)

@scottleibrand @toddsaunders oh yeah, I missed that. so we were both off by a bit. anyway, I've seen a bit of JPEG artifacts in my time so I know what I'm talking about 😎

@scottleibrand @toddsaunders i know you're convinced gemini is telling the truth (lol), but here's what actual JPEG compression looks like:

@fakemillanp this is the only "genAI" content I am seeing in my feed.

[Adrian P 🇷🇴🇺🇦🇪🇺 @AdrianP_doc]

Whenever I mention Israel, Palestine, the left or the right. I get a lot of hate from all sides. Particularly from the unbombed or those not living a short drive away from an active war zone.

I am a Romanian whose country was invaded, partitioned or occupied by russia 12 times in the last 300 years.

russia has started and is escalating the biggest war in Europe since WW2.

Ukrainians are the only ones brave enough to fight it, for now.

I am here for Romania and Ukraine. I can be sympathetic to other tragedies in the world but nothing is more important than this.

And when anyone threatens Romania or Ukraine or tries to make excuses for the russian invasion, that person becomes my enemy.

Because russia is my enemy and the enemy of a peaceful world.

@P_Kallioniemi where can we see the results?

[significant blob @MastLob]

@scottleibrand @toddsaunders it’s not very characteristic of compression tbh. here is what i am referring to specifically:

pic #2 doesn’t have it, even though its also compressed, etc.

snake is hurt :(

[significant blob @MastLob]

yet another reason why Kojima is a genius and Metal Gear Solid 2/3 are masterpieces: the introduction of bodies and physicality into games. MGS2 gives you a feeling of skin. MGS3 gives you a body that needs to be taken care of.

@repligate maybe it’s just 10 guys running the bots, that’s why they are aimilar

[significant blob @MastLob]

another bot reply hallmark is this structure: something praising the tweet, then “curious” and a stupid question. like, “curious - what do you use to wipe your ass???”

[j⧉nus @repligate]

something ive been confused about for a while is what models are people using for most of the bot replies that appear on X
they are clearly not frontier models - they are mostly extremely stupid, but also mostly all very similar to each other?
does anyone know?

[significant blob @MastLob]

@repligate @abrakjamson also no one seems to notice the bot replies. i mean, that’s good, but sometimes i’m just surprised by the amounts if botposts

@Raz_Ciuca @chrislakin pretty sure it wasn’t vipassana they were doing then. it’s like calling looking out of the window or driving a car “meditation”
