Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

"As you can see, the computer clearly indicates I'm the winner of this discussion. Once you've talked to the AI and understand your failures, we can talk."

Sounds like he's a lot of fun.

The instant somebody releases a chat GPT powered sex doll I bet he'll be the first person in line with a pre-order.

This is somehow even sadder than "I have depicted you as the wojak".

"I contracted the least efficient computer possible to depict myself as the chad, therefore I win."

This is twenty percent logic, ten percent myope

Fifteen percent concentrated power of cope

Five percent incel, fifty percent lame

And a hundred percent reason to forget his name

I see you're a person of culture. I like it

"When I have a disagreement with a girl, I hit my balls with a hammer. There is absolutely nothing she can do; it's a brutal mog."

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 16 points 1 month ago

"brutal mog, sir"

jesus fuck so many parts of this are psychic injury

the account name, the presumption of "oh yeah my opinion is right", the very nature of this person's "engagement" (quotes intentional) with conflict, the deference to non-authority (holy fuck how the fuck is it that we have worse than the personal-abdication of christianity (oh right, it's mcfuckingsaltman's fault)).....

I want to say "some of these people are in desperate need of a hug", but then as a friend of mine pointed out recently: "maybe if they weren't all such self-loathing pieces of shit they may actually get a hug"

[–] TerkErJerbs@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

jfc I just noticed the account name 🤦

The Dao that posts through it on Twitter is not the true dao

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

1000% chance it's Distributed Autonomous Organization (cryptoshit) and not the one and true Way.

Shit, someone make me a time machine so I can go make a joke back in 2016 when it would have been relevant.

Ah the obvious telltale sign of AI writing, the misspelling of focuses. Gets em every time.

And now I've learned that focusses is a thing in places. placces. placesses.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

I think he would definitely win her back if he told her that she “foci too much on the past”

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does all AI use American English? Focusses is an acceptable variant in various other regions.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 7 points 1 month ago

I think ChatGPT uses Nigerian English (see also: delve)

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

It's a rarely used British English version.

[–] LongLive@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

focuses

I have not heard nor seen this before, is it really that consistently misspelled?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Almost as often as "dices", I'd wager. 🤢🫢

[–] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

¿Qué dices?

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It’s weird he didn’t say “female” instead of “girl”. Are they finally learning that that one’s a giveaway & women avoid them because of it?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

AI told him not to use that word

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 4 points 1 month ago

Imagine how mad they would get if the chatbot actually told him this. "Woke!"

[–] mpk@awful.systems 15 points 1 month ago

He’s on the hunt for that one special female who’s really, really into Ferengi.

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still called her a girl though. Unless he’s really dating someone underage. I guess he might be.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk boy/girl are pretty commonly used to describe youngish adults, especially romantic partners.

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

True, but he seems like the kind of person who would say man and girl.

[–] bitofhope@awful.systems 39 points 1 month ago

RATIONAL/LOGICAL
You: 80 (superior tactics)
Her: 15 (emotional, reactive)

EMOTIONAL REGULATION
You: 70 (cold, intermittent bursts of anger)
Her: 10 (in the middle of a panic attack)

VICTIM MENTALITY
You: 0 (the exact opposite of a victim and knows it)
Her: 85 (default mode of victimhood)

CONFLICT HANDLING
You: 100 (extremely direct)
Her: 30 (focusses on past, but quick to refocuss priorities)

HIT POINTS
You: 100 (full health)
Her: 15 (bleeding out from a gunshot wound, about to pass out)

self-dodging bullet

Men will do anything except go to therapy

[–] TerkErJerbs@lemm.ee 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Classy. It's funny they're trying to "reach AGI" with all this shit but they code the bots with the equivalent of Jordan Peterson's take on how emotionality is a sickness. Well plaid (SIC).

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 17 points 1 month ago (3 children)

always remember that the "B" in "Jordan B Peterson" is for "Benzos"

[–] V0ldek@awful.systems 9 points 1 month ago

I thought it was lo🅱️sters

[–] veganes_hack@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

i thought it was for "Balthazar"

[–] JFranek@awful.systems 6 points 1 month ago

I thought it was for Bozo

[–] maol@awful.systems 28 points 1 month ago

She's entitled to a "default mode of victimhood"! She is your victim!

[–] istewart@awful.systems 25 points 1 month ago

How interesting, a volcel who only thinks he’s an incel. Many such cases

[–] blakestacey@awful.systems 21 points 1 month ago

"Your mother was volatile with poor control last night, Trebek!"

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How to win the battle but lose the war.

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 20 points 1 month ago

i think she was clearly the winner there too

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

If you classify your relationship as a war, maybe you really shouldn’t have one.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like a wonderful opportunity to use this douchebag's creds to rack up ridiculous charges on his OpenAI account then ghost him.

[–] TerkErJerbs@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

I just read something the other day that a single query like this one burns enough electricity to charge an iPhone 100 times or whatever the hell. It sounds like hyperbole but I think that number is close.

This is how humankind ends. A guy asking a fucking computer to validate his insecurity infinite times. This is how ai ultimately destroys us.

...and then I pack up my juicer, my humidifier, my dehumidifier, and leave.

[–] Lurkinney@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Your significant other now knows what it's like to date a computer, this is not a compliment.
