Sometimes i discuss stuff with people, and if they are generally cooperative (engaging with the topic), but of a different opinion, i get a strange feeling.
As i am watching myself refine my explanations to get ideas synced, i think to myself: "Hey, if we're in a simulation, maybe we are the 'LLM' being trained. Maybe i am making a mistake by becoming ready for practical use.".
Realized my phone's touchscreen is getting a little less sensitive, which is usually the harbinger of planned obsolescence. It's not bad yet, so I've got at least a year, maybe two, before it's a brick.
So, I go to look for smart phones that don't have AI built into them. The Internet delivers multiple pages of lists of AI-free phones.
Of course, none of these lists, which are all copies of each other, have links except maybe a few to Amazon which I don't use. And those are ones with AI you can "turn off".
Copy name of phone, paste into search: again, lots of pages talking about it, but none selling it or telling you where you can get it.
Sigh, repeat with next phone on list. Same results.
Repeat with the third phone on the list. Still same results.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Give up.
@KonstantinNotz Ich verstehe nicht wie ein europäischer Torment Nexus besser sein soll als der amerikanische Torment Nexus.

Death to all but metal, OFC - what else?
@OpenComputeDesign Kinda dumb question maybe, but did you watch elfen lied?
People tell me how to see things i already see clear
Sometimes we need to be alive
utterly juvenile humour, intrusive thought, bad pun
@admitsWrongIfProven gamma ray? more like ram a gay, amirite
@admitsWrongIfProven yes and no.
Human beings do not like change in general, and we are highly adaptable. Which means, our species can get used to horrible abuses if they are added slowly enough for long enough.
The energy needed to bust through that inertia is really hard to summon when your energy is already being sucked out by the way modern life is organized. Getting a bunch of people to all summon this energy at the same time and agree on how to use it is even harder. However, because we are a social species, it's easier for us to summon the energy needed if others are doing it too.
I think what you're feeling is the collective realization that we need radical change, and the collective mourning of life we were taught to expect for ourselves. As my wife said the other day, "fuck, I don't wanna have to be a guerilla fighter in my forties "
@OpenComputeDesign oops, forgot you. Here's the link, hope you enjoy the question:

Asking myself if there is a new feeling amongst most people, some kind of hopelessnes, or if that was always there?
Do we, generally, perceive the world as more hopeless, and thus shut down, or is the general vibe of giving up more an artifact of how action is compartmentalized, no longer meaningful, thus a slow but steady development?
Haha, living through climate collapse and resurgence of fascism, i still ask myself systemic questions instead of bashing fascists and destroying fossil fuel power plants. Humanity is doomed, i am the showcase.
But hey, while we live, what do you think about new feeling versus slowly advancing compartmentalization? Or am i neglecting a pivotal factor?

@admitsWrongIfProven ah, I've realized where your question comes from.
In this sentence structure, the verb "agreed" is pushed to an unnatural (to the native English speaker's ear) mid sentence position.
Any person who the named insured has agreed in a written contract to include as additional insured is an additional insured on this policy.
Additional Insured coverage is afforded to any person or organization who the named insured has agreed in a written contract.
Taking it out of insurance language:
The doctor, who is fantastic, said...
The doctor, to whom I owe money, said...
I speak german and english.
Interested in:
- crude jokes
- philosophy
- how people get along
- different viewpoints

If i reply but did not favourite your toot: most likely i forgot. I get caught up in talking, i forget.
I generally invite questions. If you look for a clue if it is ok to ask hard questions: this is it. As long as it is in good faith and you want to know wtf i was thinking, go ahead please.
