    We do know we created them. The AI people are currently freaking out about does a single thing, predict text. You can think of LLMs like a hyper advanced auto correct. The main thing that’s exciting is these produce text that looks as if a human wrote it. That’s all. They don’t have any memory, or any persistence whatsoever. That’s why we have to feed it a bunch of the previous text (context) in a “conversation” in order for it to work as convincingly as it does. It cannot and does not remember what you say













  • So as a recent child depression/mental health issues are so much more common because the world we were born into is very obviously getting worse. As a little Elementary schooler we actually had like snow. Like snow days each year were expected. I remember playing outside in the snow, coming inside to some nice hot chocolate and grilled cheese. Do I even need to tell you how it’s changed? The snow we do get is more extreme (power goes out) and for shorter periods of time. This year I believe we got about a week of snow you could reasonably play in, however you wouldn’t want to do that cause everyones power was out or it was a fuckn blizzard.

    We’ve got nowhere to go hangout. Malls are closing (not that you could walk to em) parks are okay but you STILL cannot walk to my neighborhoods closest park cause A: there literally isn’t sidewalks the whole way and B: you’d have to cross two busy roads. Basically in short the world we were born into wasn’t designed with us in mind, instead it was designed for the car. Course that brings up the fact that we aren’t getting drivers licenses as often as earlier generations. We can get deep into it but frankly I don’t care this comment is already too long. Instead I’ll just tell you my personal experience and choice to not get a license. It doesn’t provide me any meaningful benefits. I’d lived life up till 16 needing to be chauffeured around by my parents or a friend’s parents to go anywhere which like all kids was something I hated as I knew I was a burden. So, as you’d expect the internet became our meeting place. It avoided the burden of being chauffeured around. Once I was finally able to drive, well, where would I even go? A friend’s house perhaps but well, we can just join a voice call and do it like that.





  • Not as many as some of the other people in here but mine’s not bad. Haven’t submitted anything in like a year too… It appears as though my stats are off a bit. I mostly watch YouTube on mobile and it’s reporting more submitted segments (same time saved) but strangely more personal segments skipped on mobile for less time I’ve personally saved. It’s using the same SB account thing so I douno whats up with that. Brings me to the same leaderboard even so who knows




  • That’s not a phone issue, that’s a place issue. Where can your daughter go (without needing to drive) to hangout with friends? Can she conceivably walk there? Can her friends? I’ve been hearing my entire life that I just need to go outside and Bla Bla Bla but I don’t have anywhere to go. The closest park is a good half hour walk and now there’s even sidewalks! How pleasant. There’s nowhere for children outside, it’s nigh impossible to walk anywhere and it’s not like your parents would let you anyway since there probably isn’t even sidewalks the whole way.

    For perspective I live a very reasonable 10 minutes walk away from the elementary school I went to. I think you’ll agree that’s a reasonable distance for at the very least the older kids to walk. However it took them till I was a senior in high school before they put in the side walk. You literally couldn’t get to the elementary school on foot without walking on the side of the road for ~4 minutes. Even now the experience is awful and the crossings are unsafe. This is the world us phone kids grew up in. It’s not that we don’t want to go hangout in person, there’s just nowhere to go and by the time people can drive it’s far too late.

    Also the high school is about 40 minutes walk, there’s even sidewalks the whole way (now (only on one side))! It’s an awful experience as there’s absolutely no shade and about half of it is down a stroad.
