It’s extra bewildering bc I always liked the takes of his I saw around Lemmy, being told I love genocide by another “lefty” felt 100x worse than any of the other weirdos who say things like that to strangers

Someone on lemmy made a comment that basically said people dislike .ml for bad reasons, and I replied that I don’t like them bc I don’t like fans of regimes that would have me killed for being queer. He called me a liberal, I replied that I hate democrats at least as much as he does, and he said “is it because they’re not killing Palestinians swiftly enough for you?” shit had me fuming, still kinda does tbh cx who the fuck calls someone a zionist for disliking the guys supporting zionist genocide??? (the answer is it was Ensign_Crab, fuck that leftist infighting weirdo. he prob only said I wanna kill Palestinians bc every right wing accusation is a confession)

This looks awesome, I’d love to help test it :3

Literally even a single thing at all would be nice

For example I’m gonna preorder the new Fatal Fury game even though I’m not super confident in SNK to put out a functional game, but I know it’ll have fun gameplay and worst case scenario it’ll get fixed in a while. Being able to download early is worth for me even if I won’t download in time to play early, and worst case scenario it’s completely nonfunctional and I just refund it until it works

I almost never preorder any game I’m not 100% sure I’ll play no matter what. Sometimes I’ll do it with online games in 90% sure on bc my internet is horrible and I like being able to get started on the download asap

I used to think i didn’t like fighting games, but I fell in love when I found a game with characters and mechanics I really liked (Mark of the Wolves) and realized that technical skill means nothing unless you have good fundamentals and can read and react to the opponent. Now KoF XV and SF6 are two of my favorite games and I have a lot of fun playing and practicing :3

Ngl I really wish more psychological “professionals” would just shut up be stop encouraging people to abuse autists

They’re still infinitely qualified to talk about it than randos on lemmy tho

It was wrong of me to assume you were using it in the wasteful, mindless ways a lot of people use “ai” stuff, I’m sorry for being an asshole about it. Afaik you running stuff like that sometimes isn’t any more wasteful than you spending that time playing games that push your hardware to the max, and I hadn’t thought about that before those replies.

I’ve been really worried about how shady and powerful open ai is and how many people are starting to use it to write science papers and cheat through med school and shit, but other than all the ways corporate “AI” is horrible there’s a lot of cool and fun applications imo, and I’m sorry for assuming you were supporting sam altman’s shenanigans

BTW if you unironically think that original art inspired by previous works is actually comparable to a computer scraping and slapping random bullshit together, you don’t know jack shit about art or the “AI” you so desperately need

Hey if you can’t actually make a solid argument for why “AI” is actually fine, there’s always calling the other person insane :D your use of an LLM isn’t any better or less cringe just bc you don’t use chat gpt, you’re still outsourcing your thinking and decision making to a computer, and you still use a fuck of a lot more power than you should on something that is ultimately stupid and pointless. Your life was fine before “AI”, why are you acting like this is some good or helpful or necessary thing at all?

None of the things I mentioned are even close to as horrible as AI is in those ways. Either you’re being disingenuous bc you think you need chat gpt to think for you, or you just have no idea at all what “AI” is and really need to do a lot of research on how harmful it is. Comparing CGI render farms to AI servers? Comparing human inspiration and paid for asset packs to a computer rearranging existing, stolen art? You’re not serious are you?

Remind me how much electricity production lines, phonographs and CGI use, or how much they rely on art theft simply to exist, or how they pose as an expert on a subject and feed people misinformation, or how they allow people to literally stop thinking and let it write everything and form every opinion for them?

Here’s a better question: why don’t you try having literally even one ounce of empathy for others?

I can’t send you a message so if you’ve blocked me and just don’t wanna hear anything I’m sorry for this comment. I just wanted to say the way I read your first comment was really uncharitable and you didn’t deserve any of the shitty things I responded with, and that you gave good advice and if you have anything else to say I’d love to hear it 🌸

I’m just in such a deep fucking rut and it’s so hard to do anything to get out, i don’t want to be like this, I just want to have a job and not treat my friends and family like shit. It’s so fucking hard when every time I try to smoke less weed I get convinced that the people I love are assholes or don’t care about me. I’d love to hear any advice you have, I’m sorry I assumed the worst of you and treated you like shit

My sleep schedule is absolute shit. I’ve spent the last like 5 years of my life getting high most days and well into the night, and going to bed no earlier than 2 or 3 am, sometimes 6 or 7. I try to fix my sleep schedule sometimes but almost nothing works, and even when it does it doesn’t stick bc I just go back to getting high and staying up way too late

No they were just a stranger trying to give friendly advice, I’m just in a really shit headspace and thought they were being an asshole. I’m sorry
