  • When i am physically sick i also get mentally worse as i side effect.

    When i am struggling mentally i also get physical symptoms as a side effect.

    With pressure from work, life, the potential self destruction apocalypse looming behind global events. Its come to a point where i basically feel sick every day of the year.

    I stopped worrying wether its mentally or physical, i have come to term that its always both and the distinction is but a basic classification of symptom types.

    The only thing that matters is do i function well enough to go to work and back home while remaining in safe enough headspace to provide for my own needs. If not, i go to a doctor. My hometown doctor does have a minor speciality in psychology which is not mandatory. Your milage may vary.


  • You are technically correct. Many critters know as insects are their own group.

    However in reality it has much more to do with human classification then actual nature. Same with what we call “fruit” so i al not sure what people want me to use to refer to the entire class of creepy crawlers.

    Termites where for a while considered a different class but now there seen as a subclass of cockroaches and those are insects. Springtails where long considered insects but now they are their own class.

    35mm without the legs is freaking huge. And as an arachnophobe you can’t tell me the legs don’t count towards its intimidation.

    No, they hide instead.

    In small corners, like a small hole in the stonewall next to your wall attached reading lamp.

    So then when you’re finally asleep you hear like this scratch noise. So you turn on your lamp and you see that it’s little bit of wall dust coming off it.

    And at first you’re like huh so you look a little closer and you see that it’s coming from that little hole in the wall.

    AND THEN SOME LEGS JUMP OUT OF THERE.

    Before you know it you stand at the furthest other corner of the room.

    A full spider has pulled itself from the hole, and it stares at you, menacingly.

    You can barely breathe, but deep down you know that the creature can’t help it. It is not a monster, and neither are you.

    You were taught the most sensible thing is to put such insects outside. So you sneak downstairs trying to find a glass and piece of paper to capture it in.

    So then you, a brave knight, armed with a glass faces the beast.

    And as you hold your arm in the vicinity of its claws. You realize:

    The size of this beast is far bigger than the diameter of the opening of this glass.

    You run to the hallway you are truly losing it. But then you hear another sound.

    Your dad appears from nowhere, and he asks what are my troubles.

    SO I SHOW MY HERO TO THE BEAST

    AND HE FUCKING LEGS IT. EVEN MORE A COWARD THAN YOU. Goes to bed and leaves you to it remarking its large size.

    That is what wolfspiders do. They don’t just destroy your confidence, they show that you came from nothing and will remain it till the day you become food.

    That is what wolfspiders do.

    Also they can jump 2m straight, thankgod i only found out as it jumped from glass 2# into the darkness of the garden as i you realize they could have jumped into your face at any point of time back in the room. You were never safe.

    That is what Wolfspiders do.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​




  • That lazy ass is a volunteer spending their free time filtering our crap.

    That mods (need to) exist is also a symptom of bigger issues, ideally we don’t need mods and are capable to self organized in a respectful way.

    This is not reddit, you have the abilities to make a better science place on the fediverse, be the example of how you think it should be done. (Get off you lazy ass or understand that life for most is more then social media.

    Its not perfect but its that freedom to disagree and build your own that sets us apart.


  • People having a laugh isn’t the problem.

    There is a real problem with the thread format of social media however.

    My proof is I can’t find the “in this discussion relevant” thread of masturbation jokes because time has moved on and so did the discussion. [Edit: your comment is only 1h old, so not sure whats up]

    We need a much better way to organize our speech and discussions because a single scroll page sorted by time, or contextless votes ain’t doing it.

    I actually noticed that some of my comments are reacted very different towards depending on the time of day, what side of planet earth is awake at the time.

    There is an argument to be had that certain troll farms love to drown discussions in shitposts and maybe we should be more mindful of the patterns.

    But to say we should crack down on any form of jokes, which are an important part of our human expression that goes too far, thats what i disliked about r/science


  • First, did you read even the research papers?

    Secondly, none are out that are actually immune to jailbreaking lol, Where did that claim come from?

    Gpt4 is just an llm. Indeed the better version of gpt3

    Gpt4o and 1o (claude-sonnet possibly also) rely on the generative capacities of the gpt4 model but there is allot more going under the hood that is not simply “generate the next token”

    We all agree that a pure text predictor are not at all intelligent.

    The discussion at hand is wether the current frontier of ai has moved the needle up. And i still would call it pretty dumb, but moving that needle, it did. Somewhere around (x2y0.5) if i have to use the meme. Stating its (0,0) just means people aren’t interested enough to pay attention, that these aren’t just llm anymore. That’s their right but i prefer people stopped joining the discussion so uninformed.
