Hope is not meant to be useful. Hope is just that, hope. AI cannot give hope to anyone at all.

Shitty Pandora’s box. There is no hope in that box,only shit.

One thing I noticed in India, and perhaps elsewhere too that happiness is on the other side of whatever goal one has, usually something that is sold as hustle or hardwork. I am not talking about people who don’t earn enough to afford even basics and are told that they don’t earn enough because they don’t work hard enough. These people are simply playing a rigged game.

I am talking about usually well-off people who earn enough, but not enough to be happy. These people don’t realize that in their case happiness is just due to an internal lack and not due to external factors. These people try to buy and consume in order to fill a void that cannot be filled through external stuff or status.

Well, it sounds like they totally deserved the failure. Asking a text prediction machine to “do” something is going to end up like this. In pursuit of efficiency, we have let morons and moronic products do things, they were not meant to do.

You just insulted me, but that’s fair.

LLMs can easily replace managers and execs over anybody else. Honestly, the first things LLMs replace are scammers. Most execs are scammers too.

Geanu Kreaves?

All too often that happens to be true.

Yes. It is about holding people accountable and punishing them for their crimes. If they can get away crimes, then what is the point of courts of law or even a justice system? Might as well, throw those in the bin.

But… but it’s for the safety of children. /s

Fucking morons.

Yup. It is exhausting AF.

Exactly my point.

So living expenses are kept low, but at the high health cost? Is it really worth it?

Even if I am an atheist, I actually love the song, not for what it means, but how it is expressed.

I felt ignored, which made me feel worthless. Exact circumstances are too personal to share. But, the realization that I have never felt compassion in my life, as far back as I can remember was too much at the time.

Yeah, mindfulness helped me to become aware of that thought. Mindfulness is just incredible, in my experience.

It is really difficult to explain, but I will try it. I was greatly distressed one day, and decided to write an essay on Community and Compassion. As I was writing it, it basically came out as a rant and increased my distress and I was able identify a thought that was running in my head. It said “I am not enough.” I don’t why, but I reversed it and started ‘chanting’ “I am enough”. I immediately felt like a huge wait lifted from my mind. I felt lighter. So, basically that became my chant now.

In retrospect, it made sense and yet, it was really hard for me to become aware of it. But, in the end, all those therapy sessions paid off, even if I had lost hope.

So many. Not being able to regulate emotions, which led to me throwing “temper tantrums” kind of. 7 years of therapy and I think I had major breakthrough. I am still evaluating it, but I am fairly confident that I might have overcome it.

Well, perhaps easier access to mental therapy could mitigate the problem? At least, I would like to think so.

This one fact always blows my mind.
