  • Idk personally i kind of expect the ai makers to have at least had the sense to allow their bots to process math with a calculator and not guesswork. That seems like, an absurdly low bar both for testing the thing as a user as well as a feature to think of.

    Didn’t one model refer scientific questions to wolfram alpha? How do they smartly decide to do this and not give them basic math processing?










  • I’m a long time daily user as well, and my suspicion would be the ever increasing potency. I have a quite high tolerance, yet a high THC strain (iirc advertised were 26-27%) i bought some months ago seriously fucked me up.

    Loss of motor control, balance, intense nausea and sweating, I had to literally sit on the toilet and lean my head and upper body against the wall for 45 minutes, because that was somehow the only bearable position with the option to puke if needed. Topped off with a racing mind going to unhappy places.

    I then sort of cut the stuff with “normal” ~20% weed to tone it down and make it tolerable. I can definitely see these potent strains having unexpected and perhaps so far undocumented effects on the body. A little like beer versus liquor.


  • Even beyond that, the “complex” language they claim is confusing is the whole point of Wikipedia. Neutral, precise language that describes matters accurately for laymen. There are links to every unusual or complex related subject and even individual words in all the articles.

    I find it disturbing that a major share of the userbase is supposedly unable to process the information provided in this format, and needs it dumbed down even further. Wikipedia is already the summarized and simplified version of many topics.


  • I don’t want people to hide their sexuality, but I think there is an odd modern tendency to sort of overshare these things. I don’t want to know people’s sexualities unless I am romantically interested in them. Why do I need to know what and who you are doing in your private time?

    To me it sort of feels like the “we’re trying to have a baby” announcements. Good for you I guess but kinda weird to tell people you’re fucking without protection. Tell me when you’re pregnant and/or have had the baby, that’s plenty information.

    I will agree though that the less common sexualities are often met with raised eyebrows when it comes to these topics. Probably wouldn’t hurt if people wouldn’t default to the heterosexual standard assumption.
