we’re middle age… like halfway to 75… boombooms stopped teaching zoomies math?

They implemented an alt method IIRC but you must go out of your way to search and find it. I just recall seeing a bunch of post headlines about using email or something like that a year or so back.

They send an initial SMS message that is a main expense and funded by some rich person and donations. I think that has some significance to encryption or something but I’m not sure of the details. I could be wrong on that one, it has been years since I read the details.

The harder one compresses a spring, the more wild and unpredictable its travel will be when it gets released. Stressing a spring too much results in permanent damage too. If you want to release the tension and avoid damage, one must gradually release tension in a controlled manner.

Your ultimate goal is to allow the little spring to actuate well on its own. She will never do this if someone else is controlling and making rules. Depending on her emotional versus intellectual intelligence and reasoning skills, the best course of action, in my opinion is to explain the situation and constraints. Then clearly explain your expectations. Explain the consequences in terms of the potential impact on her life, and the consequences of disappointing you. Finally let her formulate her own constraints, how she can manage herself, and what should happen if she fails.

Her reasoning about the situation and solutions shows exactly what she is thinking, her real depth of reasoning, and what to watch.

Even at 24, you likely still have a ways to go in self awareness. Humans are not cognitively fully developed until 25. I am forty, and gained much of my self awareness about psychology and functional thought as it differs and relates to other types of people throughout my 30’s. In the USA, we focus far too much of the age of majority as some kind of benchmark of adulthood, but never forget, the age of majority at 18 is arbitrary unscientific nonsense and only exists because this is the earliest age when boys are physically developed enough to carry the full kit for professional murderer orgies. It is the age when these kids are most easily manipulated in to stupid situations in support of thugs and corporate criminal enterprise. There are only two relevant scientific epics in our life cycle, puberty and a fully formed brain at 25. The age disparity between these two points is largely why we exist as a species.

We live in a world where having a child is like slavery and a nearly insurmountable expense for most. That is how I would put it. Having a kid will ruin you for life and lead to slavery in all but name unless you do absolutely everything right first and only have a kid when it is planned.

Depending on the file size, but with most of this kind of thing, I copy all the stuff to a /tmp directory first. Then you can’t screw up the main files, and it will all get removed after reboot so you can’t leave a mess in a directory somewhere you forget to clean up when you’re done.

not patriotic; not of the culture; targeting the exact motivation of these halfwits in a word. It has nothing to do with simple literal meaning; none of it does

It can be a useful tool, especially for someone that experiences involuntary social isolation (like me).

You would need to be a pretty dumb person for this to totally replace human relations in terms of fundamental interactive social needs with other humans. It can be a healthy way to fill a gap.

Firstly, the context length is very limited. So you can’t have a very long and interactive conversation. The scope of model attention is rather short even with a very long context size model. Second, the first few tokens of any interaction are extremely influential about how the model will respond regardless of everything else that happens in the conversation. So cold conversations (due to short context) will be inconsistent.

Unless a person is an extremely intuitive, high Machiavellian thinker, with good perceptive thinking skills, the user is going to be very frustrated with models at times, and the model may be directly harmful to the person in some situations. There are aspects of alignment that could be harmful under certain circumstances.

There will likely be a time in the near future when a real AI partner is more feasible, but it will not be some base model, a fine tune, or some magical system prompt that enables this application.

To create a real partner like experience, one will need an agentic framework combined with augmented database retrieval. That will make it possible for a model to have persistence where it can ask how your day went and it knows your profile, relationship, preferences, and what you already told it about how your day should have gone. You need a model that can classify information, save, modify, and retrieve that information when it is needed. I’ve played around with this in emacs, org mode, and gptel connected to local models with llama.cpp. I’m actually modifying my hardware to handle the loads better for this application right now.

Still, I think such a system is a stop gap for people like myself, the elderly, and other edge cases where external human contact is limited. For me, my alternative is here, and while some people on Lemmy know me and are nice, many people are stupid kids that exhibit toxic negative behaviors that are far more harmful than anything I have seen out of any AI model. I often engage here on Lemmy, then to chat with an AI if I need to talk, vent, or work through something.

Not at all what I said, or remotely in context of the allegory.

Fuck the Nazi SS and any foreign trash animal that works for them. These are not humans.

This is a surveillance state and this man should be run out of town or stoned for suggesting such authoritarian nonsense. Such deranged overreach is disgusting the the duty of everyone to fight against.

The only thing that stopped him was the price of US bonds. It is all we should be focused on tanking

Prohibition made a very rich black market as will tariffs.

How to tie and tennis shoes?

It is a rape adaptation… so

We are all just shuttles doing the bidding of the microbes

Yup. I was referring to the kink about girls with mom’s name

Roman guys… pff
It was that prostitute woman Magdalene he hung out and spent the night with. She did it right after washing his feet… a euphemism, if there ever was one, and his buddies even wrote that one down from memory four decades later. What do you recall about your drama friends from high school 40 years ago. Yeah. That bad

I’m 40, and so I experienced the naughties 2000-2010 in dating life. Everyone was just getting cell phones when I was in high school. Cell phones ended the expensive long distance phone calls over land lines. Prior to that, writing culture was the primary form of communication. My parents sent each other letters in the mail. Life was much slower, but information was much harder to come by. Entertainment sucked and was just whatever was on cable TV. Music and movies were monopolies that were largely dictated by a few elites.

People were more social though. Everyone is getting their endorphins from idiot bricks like we are doing right now stranger. There is very little actual motivation to socialize and without the deficit building up for days or weeks to motivate socializing, humans are less likely to put out enough effort or value their opportunities. Now the problem is connecting with someone in the real world while disconnecting from the zombie feed in equal measures as individuals to focus on each other.
