Saying that you’re not worth the time for personal interactions but here’s a reason that’s okay is a platitude.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

I wonder how well this runs AutoCad and adobe

No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Book by Richard C. Schwartz

Lookup internal family systems (a good book would be “No Bad Parts”). It’s like you have parts of yourself arguing and putting other parts down. It’s all parts of you trying to protect you but they maybe don’t recognize the roles each part has. Try to find out what your anger is trying to say, sometimes when the part is heard it is more manageable. The point isn’t to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.

They’re asking for access to the voting machines. I’m sure there is nothing to worry about here. /s

Let’s be real, if the dress said “suck off the rich” instead of “tax the rich” they wouldn’t have fined her.

The RVs are people’s homes because there is a shortage of housing. They move their RV from time to time to avoid tickets/police. The vehicles usually look worn down because people are literally living out of them. Eventually the RV won’t work anymore and it gets towed and the family that was living out of it has to find somewhere else to sleep. Usually nothing illegal is happening because most of them understand they’re living off the good graces of others. But there are a lot of people that feel uncomfortable around unhoused people and would rather vilify their neighbors than take a hard look at that discomfort.

Edit: according to the video meth and prostitution were happening, but then I have to wonder why the police were not doing anything about the obvious crimes. Did the police think the neighbors were just making stuff up?

Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.

Just vibe code version control. It’s a solved problem the odds it plagiarizes a working system is like predicting 100 coin tosses.

Maybe there’s a better example but the point remains, liberating a people comes with self-determination. It’s not a matter of how little rights the people had before the military action.

Well TIL. But to call it liberation isn’t correct. America is also kidnapping people from their homes and work places but to say of another country was to invade and take a territory wouldn’t be the same as liberation. Liberation has a higher standard where the people of the land receive sovereignty and a self-determined government.

Y’all are desperate to relive the glory days of WW2 when it was clear who the baddies were. I get it, Americans do the same.

Conscription has always violated human rights but there are certainly better words like “conquer”. And let’s not pretend Russia isn’t also conscripting men (though certainly not those in their 50s).

The stock market makes no sense to me.

That’s because “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Most of the additional ridership [that] was identified cannibalized other lines. You’re taking people who are paying on other lines, and they were just getting a free ride.

What a bizarre way to measure the success or failure of a program.

Oh man I have a story about an unhoused lady who has dementia. I walk my dog and sometimes she recognizes me, other times she has no idea. One of the days I was walking the dog and she forgot who I was and asked to pet my dog. She thought I was unhoused as well for some reason and told me about some good spots to sleep. These people know what it means to survive based on the kindness of others.

PS

Her name is Catalina, and sometimes I see her at church and she donated what little money she has. It sorta painful but then I remember how we treat her. We always have a place for her at our table to eat after the service. She’s our neighbor as far as we’re concerned.

I honestly think how we treat the service industry is how many people end up treating their kids.
