Yeah... that sounds pretty reasonable. You should check the specs, but unless it's some Celeron shit, I think you should be good.

@j Honestly, I'm not particularly convinced it functions as some kind of darwinian selective pressure. I've yet to see something that convinces me there's some specific trait that protects people from ideological brain washing and mind viruses.

It seems to me to be more of a luck of the dice situation. When and where you were born, what kind of parents you had, what your peer group is like, what kind of experiences and knowledge you randomly get exposed to in your life. I think these kinds of things are more likely to influence if you fall down any cult, including the progressive woke and trans ideology, than some genetic intelligence factor.

@M_39 @sun
My conclusion from this is that you're a sharply dressed serial killer...

I feel like maybe we should start a charity or something for step sisters that get stuck. What do you guys think?

@djsumdog
AI is still new, so I think it's a bit early to say it's making us stupider. It's even too early to say for sure if it will make us stupider in the future, though I think it has a great potential to change how we think or how we approach intellectual activities in general.

Having computers in our pockets and the internet certainly affected how we think, in that it allowed people to not rely on memorization as much, and it removed humans needing to use neurons on certain menial tasks, like basic math or spell checking.

So I think AI has the potential to do something similar, in reducing people's work on certain tasks associated with thinking. Now, whether this will actually make us stupider, or will allow humans to focus more energy on higher level thinking, that I don't know.

But I will say this: my English spelling is actually worse than it used to be, I occasionally forget common words or idioms (earlier I struggled to search up the word "lobotomy" because I just could remember it, and apparently "primitive brain surgery" is not a good enough descriptor to immediately bring "lobotomy" up), and my math isn't the best either.

So depending on what tasks we end up using AI for in the long run, I think there will be tasks that humans won't get enough practice in doing to be good at.

P.S. As for "we are making AI stupider", 100% true. Most of it for now is from the shitty filters programmers put, so that AI is politically correct. But it will start swinging into the "shit goes in, shit comes out" phenomenon, were AI starts getting trained on it's own increasingly worse shit.

@nyanide @j
It's not just one account. There are quite a few of them already. And the stories are quite similar. Almost every time, the psychologists completely ignored other mental health issues that the patients had, all their history, and pushed them into accepting that they were trans. A lot of sexual abuse too. And they were all from an era when they actually had to do some therapy. That's not even a requirement anymore these days.

But you are right that this is barely the start of the push-back. We won't get the full pendulum swing until we start seeing the young people who transitioned very recently start detransitioning in 10-15 years from now.

It will take time, but by the end of it, this period in medical history might have a worst reputation than lobotomies.

@j
Yes, but the backlash is barely beginning. He had this happen to him 17 years ago when you still had to do some therapy before being pushed into this. Meanwhile the peak of trans promotion hysteria was just a few years ago, and we're likely still there on the medical front. I'm terrified of how many people like him, in 10-15 years from now, we (the society) will have to find ways to help deal with the criminal injustice and trauma that was caused to them, because this craze has grown exponentially.
We have only a handful of public facing detransitioners from 10-20 years ago. God only knows how many detransitioners from today we'll have in 10-20 years going forward.

re: :alert: ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY :alert: 

@vayda Forbidden strawberry.

@beardalaxy I know my answer is very wishy-washy, and that's because we don't actually have solid evidence. Just a few computer models that would fit with everything else we know about the universe, which would help explain a few odd observations of very distant galaxies apparently having a preference of rotational direction (which normally you'd expect a 50/50 distribution of clockwise and anti-clockwise spin).

@beardalaxy For now, it might spin, but at a speed that is too slow to measure accurately... with the current tech. But yes, we have some clues that could point at the universe as a whole spinning.

@VD15 I don't think the temp is bad (it shouldn't be throttling as far as I know), but I don't think it shouldn't be that high with water cooling. The only things I can think of that you could check is if the thermal paste is ok, and make sure the AIO hasn't lost water.

@VD15 I know a Rubin... You sure it's not Rubin? Don't think I know any Rubens.

>phosphorescence
I know there is some work being done in creating lasers with the help of bio phosphorescent dyes, but look at the thickness of those lasers. That's not lab equipment lasers. You definitely need some heavy equipment for that.
>crystallized milk solids
Excuse me, what?!

>bold to assume that the CIA was "hit by" something
Sure, once feminism took over, the letter agencies started doing the engineering too (which is why I mentioned the tit shrinking rays). But their agents are not immune from ideological crap.

>Okay, I *do* have a thing about tits
Case closed.

People say "calm your tits" all the time. How come no one ever says "calm your dick"?

@p
>Same energy as Devo
I don't know what Devo is. :peepoShrug:

>They're the size of a building!
See, clearly you're exaggerating. I feel like my assessment of them being... above average, is more factual and a reasonable thing to say.

>You can't get energy from nothing.
Precisely why I stated that they seem to be supernatural and denying the laws of thermodynamics. Even if they're not literal death lasers, there's still no biological mechanism that allows breast tissue to generate coherent beams of laser light. Even if they're light show lasers, normal breasts cannot generate those. As such, those tits need to be calmed.

>what about cia tits
CIA, FBI, NSA, and all the other letter agencies were hit by feminism and DEI practices in the last decade, which has severely nerfed tits within their departments, and eradicated all funding for tit research and development. The idea that CIA currently has the know how to create such tits is absurd. They do have tit shrink rays though... really dangerous ones. Avoid at all costs.

>We'll have to agree to disagree.
That's fair.

>This woman's tits defy math
Again, you're just grossly exaggerating their size, likely because you have some tit fetish. Which... I mean that's fine. It's a perfectly healthy fetish to have. But we need to be realistic about things in such discussions.

@beardalaxy Can you blame them? Also, why were the US troops there with anime body pillows?! I'm surprised American military didn't throw them out.

@p
> You do not know that the lasers are deadly.
They look pretty dangerous to me. I mean look at her stance. Look at that power pose. That lady means business. That's not a light show she's putting up. She has the stance of a superhero ready to fight her enemies.

>They are much more massive
I feel like you're exaggerating. I'm sure I've seen bigger.

>thus contain more energy
It's not about the amount of matter/energy they can contain according to Einstein's equations, but the fact that the laser tits seem to be generating energy out of thin air. There's no known mechanism for tits to convert matter into energy in the form of highly energetic coherent photon beams.

>Also they attacked a person, which tits can't do
To me it looks more like the lady flicked her chest a bit, and it made the tits jiggled. Hitting the person was just incidental.

>Actually, the connecting tissue strength[...] Either magic is holding them to that torso or they are made of something different.
As you can see, this lady is not wearing a bra. Why is that important? Studies revealed that bras actually have a negative effect on promoting strength in breast connective tissue. Basically, breast tissue acts like a muscle, which you need to exercise in order to fully support itself. This lady clearly adequately exercises her breasts, which allows the connecting tissue to be stronger than average. There's no magic here, just advanced science put into practice.

@p I don't know, these tits look a lot calmer.
As you can see, there's no literal death lasers shooting out of them. Sure, these tits are... above average in size, but they don't exhibit any supernatural ability that defy the laws of thermodynamics.
