a man chooses…a slave OBEYYYYYSSSSS

offer free therapy from people passionate about helping others, instead of charging them an arm and a leg for an hour of one persons narrow minded view of the world. i think more people would get therapy if that were the case.

until then, its okay to get it if you can afford it, or rely on friends, and family when you need to.

however on a personal note, nothing in my life has removed the burden of existence and replaced it with univeral connection, joy, and love for others and all living things like magic mushrooms have.

and on another personal note, therapy cannot change the external world, just how you choose to react to it. and especially these days, introspection and pills cannot save you from fascism, climate change, WW3, and poverty. among other things. it may just change your perspective on it.

throwing therapy into someones face as the only answer is a small minded view of reality. its not the answer for everyone. but it does have value in certain specific situations, for certain, specific people.

or they force you to serve in the military first to earn a passport. kind of like earning your citizenship in starship troopers.

too old to serve?..didnt ask…

its become more of a confidence man than anything.

ive been testing various models for about 4 years now. conclusions are always the same. even when referencing online material the accuracy is sub par compared to simply looking it up yourself.

its good for certain tasks, but as far as verifying information you are better off using ai to find sources, and then reading those sources yourself as opposed to the write ups it offers.

an example. last night i came across a character in the game “kingdom come: deliverence 2” named the “odd trader” after saving him from bandits he offers to sell you various oddities, one of which being a “broken roman spear” that may or may not be the spear of destiny that pierced jesus christ.

GPT said that you could reforge the spear and that it was VERY powerful, when i asked it specifically how to do that, it said “oh sorry! turns out you cant do that, its just an easter egg!”

this happens constantly. but many people who use it dont verify the output, and take it at face value. especially adamant defenders of AI and especially chatgpt.

i know some fan boys will get pissy hearing this, and thats okay. in order for a technology to improve you have to acknowledge its flaws. thats a part of innovation.

also, i do believe AI will cause far more harm than good in the coming years if it is capable of advancing the way people suggest it might. and this particular flaw is a part of that harm. we cant speed run AI without severe risks.
