“Sure, you could meet people the old-fashioned way by going outside, but that feels like a lot of work. So instead you navigate this bleak dystopian hellscape sifting through the dregs of humanity through your smartphone while each day brings you closer to the cold hard hands of death.”

There it is. Their chatbots need more training data and reinforcement feedback.

Fam if you need to use reddit don’t feel bad about it. “The trick is not to ignore the mainstream, but to selectively raid it for things we can use.” -M. Gunderloy

Judging from this meme, it might be a cat burglar.

On the bright side, it probably wasn’t AI-generated.

Wait, those aren’t even pants, those are breeches.

There are a couple abilities involved:

• knowing something
• modeling a learner: understanding someone else’s current level of knowledge and the nature of their lack of knowledge such as misconceptions.
• instruction skill: having the ability to remedy the learner’s misconceptions and build upon their existing knowledge to transmit the knowledge/skill

The last two are nontrivial. You ever told someone the answer to something and they just didn’t get it? Even though it was stunningly obvious to you? The last two are why.

Anyway, to your point: a lot of times the best action is just to point someone in the right direction.

ikr sounds like that thing where Socrates’ wisdom was realizing that he was not wise.

Socrates then sought to solve the divine paradox—how an ignorant man also could be the wisest of all men—in effort to illuminate the meaning of the Oracles’ categorical statement that he is the wisest man in the land. After systematically interrogating the politicians, the poets, and the craftsmen, Socrates determined that the politicians were not wise like he was. He says of himself, in reference to a politician: “I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not.”(21d).[15] Socrates says that the poets did not understand their poetry; that the prophets and seers did not understand what they said; and that the craftsmen while knowing many things, thought they also had much knowledge on things of which they had none.

Appropriately, half the people reading this will be pantless on the toilet.

Interesting question. A quick google maps search shows over 12 listings in the capital of Mogadishu for pizza places that deliver. A more in-depth look seems to confirm that at least a few of them are real and not just AI hallucinations (i.e. they have social media presences with reviews in what appears to be Somali.)

But there don’t seem to be as many outside the capital, so you’re kinda right.

Here you go. I’d consider these beginner-friendly because they’re not focused on tech or politics.

The nice thing about using that Monty Python quote is that if I don’t like the answer, I can then mime throwing myself into a chasm, and thus extricate myself from the situation.

Not sure if this’ll help or hurt, but here’s a video of him playing Lenin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsiU0P-swYE

I have a very traumatic past with past people and my dad so that’s where my lack of love and self esteem comes from. He understands that.

It takes years to really understand another person’s trauma.

I suspect that this trauma is what’s making you feel so bad now, and the guy in question is just the conduit. Consult a therapist who specializes in both medication and talk therapy.
