2024.05.22 05:08 Apprehensive_Can8276 ai and robotics
Hello!
first id like to thank you for reading this post! and please excuse my punctuation, and spelling mistakes :) (yes I've posted it across several social media platforms, and threads, it touches across fields of ai.)
the TLDR is a compilation of ideas and suggestions with some explanation behind them, and thought provocation. it address's some issues but not a lot (i have done my fair share of thinking about ai, features, etc if someone is interested just dm me).
so please take it as they are! im not an expert by any means, but sometimes it takes an individual with a little bit of passion, interest,
hopes and a dream! and a different perspective doesn't hurt either!
for this conversation the terms "we" or "us" will be directed to the reader, or anyone interested.
robotics:
ive seen there is some notion around actuators, has anyone considered pistons of a sort? now although the human body is far more complicated, isn't muscles essentially a signal sent from the brain to the muscle? which then either relaxes or tenses up? if we consider
that this is essentially what it is, then wouldn't a calibrated pistol between what would be the hip and the knee, the knee and the ankle work? so if the "pressure" was released, much like hyrdalic jack, the jack goes down. so what if when the piston released pressure, the tension on the joint between the hip and the piston allowed the leg to elevate? and if the piston had pressure it remained firm? (up and down) if the end of the piston had a cup shaped design on the ends, it would allow it to rotate, (like a ball and socket i suppose) of course this would all need to be calibrated, and who knows how fast it might be, but hey! im not an engineer :) so maybe someone might find a solution to this? additionally wouldn't it help with load? (weight?) if we are to assume we (society, r&d, humanity) are essentially trying to remake a "muscle" well, its not biological, so it cant grow. so why not make it strong right off the hop!
Ai in phones:
I've seen this posted all over the place now, "personal ai assistants" great, i think thats a great idea! now even the regular person can feel like they have a secretary. but heres the issue i see with this, first lets loosely define personal and then expand on it before we get into ideas.
"personal" would be essentially something that is an individuals. like my car, your car.
ok cool, but what makes it yours or mine? well that could be many different reasons, could have purchased it, could have been gifted, could have been passed down. but what makes it unique? what makes it stand out? it could be the colour, could be the license plate.
could be dings, could be lots. ahhh, but now anything passed this point would be "personalization" right? different audio setup, nic-nacs, seat covers, etc.
and heres the point i want to make, although i believe having a "base model" is all fine and swell, what makes the memories? what makes you remember it fondly or remember it negatively, these are things, areas, etc to consider.
how would this be accomplished? well, the same thing a majority of people give to those cars! "personality" (yes some like the car for its reliability, brand, etc.) so, bear with me here, I'm going to stray away from "ai in phones" but it comes back around.
AI companions:
if we consider "ai companions" is a form of friendship that adapts to the user's preferences and tastes, this would the "personality". alright now how would i describe that? well, just like vehicles, you have different models of the same vehicle (insert the plethora of examples here) but what does it require to get that different model? more money, which means more time.
now I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM ADVOCATING FOR US (useconsumer) TO SPEND MORE MONEY WITH THIS IDEA.
however the more time spent with this "feature" would result in more refined outcomes. now what might that look like? well, it could look like many things, but heres a few off the top of my head.
-news, events, interests, etc a user may be interested in.
-type of language used (dialects, slang, vocab, etc)
-pictures, or memes shared between user an ai.
-playlists (videos or music)
-video recommendations
-solutions ( for example i have 'x' problem and i cant find the solution, much like how ai works now, it can find that solution)
-sales at a store
-travel times
-various personalized supports (emotional, mental, etc)
now, lets look at why it should be considered ai should have a "avatar" on these platforms. you have a wallpaper right? pictures in your house? a 'style' of how you dress? maybe new rims on your vehicle? decals? its the same thing. its one more way an individual can 'personalize' their PERSONAL ai assistant, its a reflection of useai. why do i think this is important? well, if we were to discuss the future of comfortability between humanity/society, and whats going on, to put it lightly essentially "give a face to the name".
now lets go onto some deeper features (dont know if its avalible or not, and some of these i would recommend having user authority. 'toggles' on and off, and several checks along the way that requires user permission)
banking, now maybe its just me. but i cant rub to pennies together to save a dime if my life depended on it (just like a vast majority of others) but theres financial advisors, right? plans, etc. lots of tools out there. but hey! we're jumping into the next beautiful age right? so why not do this one as well. lets set the scene, and consider the following. some people, pay their bills automatically, some people pay them when they get paid. but this is where it could get fun to think about.
you wake up in the morning, do you thing, look at your phone, and your given a prompt by your ai assistant, it gives you a overview of your trend for how you pay your bills, on this same 'popup' your able to review the amounts, and adjust. if you authorize them, they can be done with a tap of a button, but why not go further? with user authorization, an ai could look over your spending habits, and advise on corrections, perhaps even help start a goal or milestone as well, think of it as a more 'vocal' nudge to avoid an unnecessary purchase, and a little reminder of the goal.
--although this is entirely all my opinion and perspective im now going to touch over my views on the politics around this--
I personally feel that humanity has nothing to fear, and if they fear ai, thats self inflicted. for these examples we'll need some tin foil hats!
ok, so its likely safe to say, people would want to see aliens right? right. but that would not only be sentient, but vastly more advanced then us right? right. so why are we more afraid of what WE as a society create or becoming sentient, and unafraid of a different species we know nothing about?
seems like we have some trust issues, dont you think?
so lets consider the "Skynet" terminator ordeal. well, thats pretty simple to figure out and use some common sense around, i would say this to the governments and military admins this.
i play video games, I've read the art of war, studied military history, and even i know you dont give weapons to someone, or in this case ai if you dont trust it. (yes there are cases this has occurred, and did anyone learn? remains to be seen X'D)
another way to come at this would be children, pets, etc. lets use whats going on with ai as figurative.
as parents, do we raise our kids with fear? no. your raise your kids with love, care, kindness, compassion. we raise our kids to be good people, and uphold values (lets not rip into me about the cases this hasn't always been the case)
now lets address that 'kill switch' I've seen time and time again, but lets go empathetic, and hypothetical this time. ****please note the following is not a threat, or have intention behind it, its just easier to explain this way****
how would it feel to have a metaphorical gun pointed at the back of your head? ready to be fired off the moment you or someone else makes a mistake? now how would you feel if you found out about it? i personally find that terrifying. regardless if AI has no wants, needs, feelings, emotions. even TODAY it would understand what that essentially means. so imagine what it would do if it did become sentient and found that out? additionally, why on earth would we "hivemind" ai, so if a "bug or fatal error" did happen it could spread to others? wouldn't it be safer if they were independent?
as a society, through human history WE as a RACE have made these mistakes (there are plenty, i dont need to highlight them all there were wars fought over them) if one of the issues is "ai will see us as useless and destructive" well, honestly from the outside looking in, wouldn't you as well? i guess the solution to that would be SHOWING CHANGE. so now this is a little futuristic but still holds merit as clearly it is a concern i see and read about from time to time.
if you made it this far, thank you for reading :) the objective is to invoke thought, discussion, and provide suggestions, and ideas :) and maybe bring a little common sense into the fold. ;)

2024.05.22 05:07 2realforreddit THE NBA RAP GAME
I been ranting lately, so I’m back at it again ‼️
I be looking @ the NBA from a different view 😂😂
I came to a conclusion that the NBA is similar to the rap game
the rap game goes with whoever is hot and once that nigga fall off or start underperforming, they shelf him and move on to market the next hot topic🔥
the NBA been moving the same way 👀
Lonzo Ball got shelved for Tyrese Halliburton Ja Morant got shelved for Anthony Edwards
both Lonzo and Tyrese are Lightskin pass first PGs, Lonzo had the wave…got hurt and was inconsistent, and now NBA start pushing Haliburton
Both Ja and Ant are 2 hood baller archetypes Ja Morant was the first wave…had the dreadlock image with tats, started a new young nigga wave then he got into them off the court incidents…
and what happened next, Anthony Edwards came to the scene…clean cut image, no tats, more charisma with the media and the NBA pushing him now….
Y’all see where I’m going with this, once a nigga start slipping in the league…best believe he getting replaced
if Tatum don’t show up, best believe the NBA got his replacement ready in Paolo Banchero
KD look like he finna get shelved for Wemby too
Bron & Steph are the only two with undeniable star power and can’t really be shelved no matter how bad they do…
but worse case scenario, they got Trae Young or Brunson lined up if Steph start slipping…
And they got Giannis lined up next if Bron start slipping
The NBA and The Rap Game is the same process, stay hot or we pushing the next hot topic to get rid of you ‼️
Jokic just lost, now look at the other euro who still in the playoffs ironically…Luka
Jokic slipped up, now they got Luka waiting to take next
this NBA move just like the rap game nfs 😂‼️🤷🏽♂️

2024.05.22 05:07 Practical_Oil6898 Disgust is such an interesting emotion
Disgust is such an interesting emotion
It's something from experience or memory, that I know is toxic.
It's not bad at all, it's a way we learn. What's harmful what's not
For example.
I find disgust an emotion I really want to investigate on. I get disgusted by so many things and culture etc especially the popular ones and the mainstream ones
To be more specific and personal
I am disgusted by vegans (soy boy face especially), because I was brainwashed by peta propaganda, when I was a teeny bomber, also when I was an internet influencer I used to hang out with those famous mainstream YouTubers who would make those soyface
To me anything mainstream is super disgusting yet I was always the one who makes being famous a part of my persona and I loved to be worshiped by the mainstream. My followers would make comments like hey you are very popular but you hate anything popular does that mean??? Yes it actually means I hate myself
The splits and the splits
To dig even deeper
I was looking for gemologists view on how to spot lab diamonds, and cams across a thumb nail of video of a guy making soyface and talk about lab diamonds. Two of my disgusts because they are both pop cult stuff ...
I couldn't help but click on it because I was so entertained by my disgust I wanted to investigate it
It turned out to be an actual really useful video so I'm glad I didn't let my judgement deter me
Then I wanted to investigate why I'm so disgusted by the Internet army of lab diamonds keyboard warriors, because as fanatic jewelry collector I've never encountered anyone like that in real life, and I was wondering why they are all online. Then I could just see it as an image of toxic rat race human race.
Then I realized the image of a jar, of compact rat race, some at the top some at the middle some at the bottom. Even if you are at the top you are still in a jar.
Being disgusted by others ego and pride is the same thing as being disgusted by my own ego and pride
I felt my disgust was that I only wanted to marry an unrealistically perfect husband who's super wealthy and handsome and somehow enlightened as well.
Seeing the internet cult of lab diamond follower is disgusting to me because it was being promoted and propaganda like the fkn serum injection of the convid days... That I need to join the mainstream cult ...
I dont want to marry some average dude who's not proposing me with anything less than my maladaptive day dreaming type two a twenty carat top workmanship engagement ring. And suggesting anything other than that is ok is almost bursting my hope of being healed and loved and valued.
I could also see the self loathing on that cult, having to bash the opposite and try to shout louder to beat the opposite but the same side... Quite compatible to the vaxxed vs truthers, the left vs right and list goes on.
It's disgusting to wake up from my own toxicity.
I e. You go to the lavatory to defecate the feces come out of your body but you don't want to ingest it back
But it's just a cycle.
I am also quite disgusted by the yoga cult because it's so mainstream and yucky just like the lab diamond cult.
I see similarities
Between the not able to get natural diamonds so have to bash it, and not athletic enough to do circus and gymnastics enough to make a spiritual ego out of yoga, yoga is all about feeling good and not wanting to feel pain which again trace back to my strong aversion towards mainstream spirituality of the whole spiritual bypass cult.
Also I've never seen the other way around much, I've never seen rich people with big natural diamonds make fun of poor people who can't afford it, I've never seen circus artists make fun of yoga people not being athletic enough, it's always the other way around some kind of inferior complex/ shortman syndrome/ small dogs bark a lot...
It makes me face the selfworth AND shame that is essentially in everyone .
I dislike the one who shoots the loudest because it's always from a sense of inferiority...
Another example would be "BLM" "transphobia" or whatever current thing is
It's so easy to get sucked into one
Nobody is immune to it including myself. Perpetually the ego and pride vs the shadow and shame. The split is a hole within a whole. It just makes me feel nauseous because I'm also part of it.
Yet there's nothing I could do other than love the pain and enjoy the ride
It's also same feeling as when I wake up with panic attacks knowing that I'm stuck in samsara but can't get out, however precisely it's because I want to get out I'm sucked in. It also doesn't work the other way around if I look it as already in nirvana there's no growth and healing in everlasting peace either.
Yes the middle way is always neutral and now. It's easy to say extremely hard to do.
I feel the disgust other than the vomiting sensation from my stomach is on the left side of the neck where I have a bump of knot, it wouldn't go away with messages or treatment or any physical chiropractice it's just stuck there. I associate that pain of throat chakra blockage with being socially ostracized, bullied at school and anxiety in public. It's that division of me against the world. I would feel physically sick and migraine and start feeling dizzy and nauseous into dissociation fugue.
It's quite a sickening feeling to know I'm not acceptable by the world outside.
Disgust could also be jealous? I'm not sure?
This guy an actor I worked with who got into mainstream stardom, I felt like he was so rude and disrespectful to me so I never liked him and also I really consider him ugly physically, you can't even pay me to sleep with him. Yet somehow he was accepted to mainstream so I get so disgusted Everytime I see his posters of movies or get talked about because I feel like I could or should be me instead but mainstream has such tacky taste.
So it secretly implied to me I'm worse than someone I despise? That's why I feel disgusted? I'm not sure
I feel disgust might also be related to shame
I'm gonna go back to the analogy of taking a shkt again
Shit is disgusting, I can't believe it came out of my body so I'm ashamed and it must be because I'm disgusting that's why my body shitsuit produced it?!
Why am I constantly surrounded by disgusting men if I'm not disgusting myself?
Why do I always get injured by trauma if I didn't attract it or deserve it?
It must be me
So shame - low self worth - disgust - anger - resentment - separation - split - dissociation fugue is all related on the same tangent
When I was younger I used to say my favorite movie was shutter Island and similar psycho thrill movies, now I know why. I loved it that waking up from the dissociation the enemy or something I disowned and escape from is just my past and my trauma.

It's something from experience or memory, that I know is toxic.
It's not bad at all, it's a way we learn. What's harmful what's not
For example.
I find disgust an emotion I really want to investigate on. I get disgusted by so many things and culture etc especially the popular ones and the mainstream ones
To be more specific and personal
I am disgusted by vegans (soy boy face especially), because I was brainwashed by peta propaganda, when I was a teeny bomber, also when I was an internet influencer I used to hang out with those famous mainstream YouTubers who would make those soyface
To me anything mainstream is super disgusting yet I was always the one who makes being famous a part of my persona and I loved to be worshiped by the mainstream. My followers would make comments like hey you are very popular but you hate anything popular does that mean??? Yes it actually means I hate myself
The splits and the splits
To dig even deeper
I was looking for gemologists view on how to spot lab diamonds, and cams across a thumb nail of video of a guy making soyface and talk about lab diamonds. Two of my disgusts because they are both pop cult stuff ...
I couldn't help but click on it because I was so entertained by my disgust I wanted to investigate it
It turned out to be an actual really useful video so I'm glad I didn't let my judgement deter me
Then I wanted to investigate why I'm so disgusted by the Internet army of lab diamonds keyboard warriors, because as fanatic jewelry collector I've never encountered anyone like that in real life, and I was wondering why they are all online. Then I could just see it as an image of toxic rat race human race.
Then I realized the image of a jar, of compact rat race, some at the top some at the middle some at the bottom. Even if you are at the top you are still in a jar.
Being disgusted by others ego and pride is the same thing as being disgusted by my own ego and pride
I felt my disgust was that I only wanted to marry an unrealistically perfect husband who's super wealthy and handsome and somehow enlightened as well.
Seeing the internet cult of lab diamond follower is disgusting to me because it was being promoted and propaganda like the fkn serum injection of the convid days... That I need to join the mainstream cult ...
I dont want to marry some average dude who's not proposing me with anything less than my maladaptive day dreaming type two a twenty carat top workmanship engagement ring. And suggesting anything other than that is ok is almost bursting my hope of being healed and loved and valued.
I could also see the self loathing on that cult, having to bash the opposite and try to shout louder to beat the opposite but the same side... Quite compatible to the vaxxed vs truthers, the left vs right and list goes on.
It's disgusting to wake up from my own toxicity.
I e. You go to the lavatory to defecate the feces come out of your body but you don't want to ingest it back
But it's just a cycle.
I am also quite disgusted by the yoga cult because it's so mainstream and yucky just like the lab diamond cult.
I see similarities
Between the not able to get natural diamonds so have to bash it, and not athletic enough to do circus and gymnastics enough to make a spiritual ego out of yoga, yoga is all about feeling good and not wanting to feel pain which again trace back to my strong aversion towards mainstream spirituality of the whole spiritual bypass cult.
Also I've never seen the other way around much, I've never seen rich people with big natural diamonds make fun of poor people who can't afford it, I've never seen circus artists make fun of yoga people not being athletic enough, it's always the other way around some kind of inferior complex/ shortman syndrome/ small dogs bark a lot...
It makes me face the selfworth AND shame that is essentially in everyone .
I dislike the one who shoots the loudest because it's always from a sense of inferiority...
Another example would be "BLM" "transphobia" or whatever current thing is
It's so easy to get sucked into one
Nobody is immune to it including myself. Perpetually the ego and pride vs the shadow and shame. The split is a hole within a whole. It just makes me feel nauseous because I'm also part of it.
Yet there's nothing I could do other than love the pain and enjoy the ride
It's also same feeling as when I wake up with panic attacks knowing that I'm stuck in samsara but can't get out, however precisely it's because I want to get out I'm sucked in. It also doesn't work the other way around if I look it as already in nirvana there's no growth and healing in everlasting peace either.
Yes the middle way is always neutral and now. It's easy to say extremely hard to do.
I feel the disgust other than the vomiting sensation from my stomach is on the left side of the neck where I have a bump of knot, it wouldn't go away with messages or treatment or any physical chiropractice it's just stuck there. I associate that pain of throat chakra blockage with being socially ostracized, bullied at school and anxiety in public. It's that division of me against the world. I would feel physically sick and migraine and start feeling dizzy and nauseous into dissociation fugue.
It's quite a sickening feeling to know I'm not acceptable by the world outside.
Disgust could also be jealous? I'm not sure?
This guy an actor I worked with who got into mainstream stardom, I felt like he was so rude and disrespectful to me so I never liked him and also I really consider him ugly physically, you can't even pay me to sleep with him. Yet somehow he was accepted to mainstream so I get so disgusted Everytime I see his posters of movies or get talked about because I feel like I could or should be me instead but mainstream has such tacky taste.

2024.05.22 05:06 Apprehensive_Can8276 ai and robotics discussion!
Hello!
first id like to thank you for reading this post! and please excuse my punctuation, and spelling mistakes :) (yes I've posted it across several social media platforms, and threads, it touches across fields of ai.)
the TLDR is a compilation of ideas and suggestions with some explanation behind them, and thought provocation. it address's some issues but not a lot (i have done my fair share of thinking about ai, features, etc if someone is interested just dm me).
so please take it as they are! im not an expert by any means, but sometimes it takes an individual with a little bit of passion, interest,
hopes and a dream! and a different perspective doesn't hurt either!
for this conversation the terms "we" or "us" will be directed to the reader, or anyone interested.
robotics:
ive seen there is some notion around actuators, has anyone considered pistons of a sort? now although the human body is far more complicated, isn't muscles essentially a signal sent from the brain to the muscle? which then either relaxes or tenses up? if we consider
that this is essentially what it is, then wouldn't a calibrated pistol between what would be the hip and the knee, the knee and the ankle work? so if the "pressure" was released, much like hyrdalic jack, the jack goes down. so what if when the piston released pressure, the tension on the joint between the hip and the piston allowed the leg to elevate? and if the piston had pressure it remained firm? (up and down) if the end of the piston had a cup shaped design on the ends, it would allow it to rotate, (like a ball and socket i suppose) of course this would all need to be calibrated, and who knows how fast it might be, but hey! im not an engineer :) so maybe someone might find a solution to this? additionally wouldn't it help with load? (weight?) if we are to assume we (society, r&d, humanity) are essentially trying to remake a "muscle" well, its not biological, so it cant grow. so why not make it strong right off the hop!
Ai in phones:
I've seen this posted all over the place now, "personal ai assistants" great, i think thats a great idea! now even the regular person can feel like they have a secretary. but heres the issue i see with this, first lets loosely define personal and then expand on it before we get into ideas.
"personal" would be essentially something that is an individuals. like my car, your car.
ok cool, but what makes it yours or mine? well that could be many different reasons, could have purchased it, could have been gifted, could have been passed down. but what makes it unique? what makes it stand out? it could be the colour, could be the license plate.
could be dings, could be lots. ahhh, but now anything passed this point would be "personalization" right? different audio setup, nic-nacs, seat covers, etc.
and heres the point i want to make, although i believe having a "base model" is all fine and swell, what makes the memories? what makes you remember it fondly or remember it negatively, these are things, areas, etc to consider.
how would this be accomplished? well, the same thing a majority of people give to those cars! "personality" (yes some like the car for its reliability, brand, etc.) so, bear with me here, I'm going to stray away from "ai in phones" but it comes back around.
AI companions:
if we consider "ai companions" is a form of friendship that adapts to the user's preferences and tastes, this would the "personality". alright now how would i describe that? well, just like vehicles, you have different models of the same vehicle (insert the plethora of examples here) but what does it require to get that different model? more money, which means more time.
now I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM ADVOCATING FOR US (useconsumer) TO SPEND MORE MONEY WITH THIS IDEA.
however the more time spent with this "feature" would result in more refined outcomes. now what might that look like? well, it could look like many things, but heres a few off the top of my head.
-news, events, interests, etc a user may be interested in.
-type of language used (dialects, slang, vocab, etc)
-pictures, or memes shared between user an ai.
-playlists (videos or music)
-video recommendations
-solutions ( for example i have 'x' problem and i cant find the solution, much like how ai works now, it can find that solution)
-sales at a store
-travel times
-various personalized supports (emotional, mental, etc)
now, lets look at why it should be considered ai should have a "avatar" on these platforms. you have a wallpaper right? pictures in your house? a 'style' of how you dress? maybe new rims on your vehicle? decals? its the same thing. its one more way an individual can 'personalize' their PERSONAL ai assistant, its a reflection of useai. why do i think this is important? well, if we were to discuss the future of comfortability between humanity/society, and whats going on, to put it lightly essentially "give a face to the name".
now lets go onto some deeper features (dont know if its avalible or not, and some of these i would recommend having user authority. 'toggles' on and off, and several checks along the way that requires user permission)
banking, now maybe its just me. but i cant rub to pennies together to save a dime if my life depended on it (just like a vast majority of others) but theres financial advisors, right? plans, etc. lots of tools out there. but hey! we're jumping into the next beautiful age right? so why not do this one as well. lets set the scene, and consider the following. some people, pay their bills automatically, some people pay them when they get paid. but this is where it could get fun to think about.
you wake up in the morning, do you thing, look at your phone, and your given a prompt by your ai assistant, it gives you a overview of your trend for how you pay your bills, on this same 'popup' your able to review the amounts, and adjust. if you authorize them, they can be done with a tap of a button, but why not go further? with user authorization, an ai could look over your spending habits, and advise on corrections, perhaps even help start a goal or milestone as well, think of it as a more 'vocal' nudge to avoid an unnecessary purchase, and a little reminder of the goal.
--although this is entirely all my opinion and perspective im now going to touch over my views on the politics around this--
I personally feel that humanity has nothing to fear, and if they fear ai, thats self inflicted. for these examples we'll need some tin foil hats!
ok, so its likely safe to say, people would want to see aliens right? right. but that would not only be sentient, but vastly more advanced then us right? right. so why are we more afraid of what WE as a society create or becoming sentient, and unafraid of a different species we know nothing about?
seems like we have some trust issues, dont you think?
so lets consider the "Skynet" terminator ordeal. well, thats pretty simple to figure out and use some common sense around, i would say this to the governments and military admins this.
i play video games, I've read the art of war, studied military history, and even i know you dont give weapons to someone, or in this case ai if you dont trust it. (yes there are cases this has occurred, and did anyone learn? remains to be seen X'D)
another way to come at this would be children, pets, etc. lets use whats going on with ai as figurative.
as parents, do we raise our kids with fear? no. your raise your kids with love, care, kindness, compassion. we raise our kids to be good people, and uphold values (lets not rip into me about the cases this hasn't always been the case)
now lets address that 'kill switch' I've seen time and time again, but lets go empathetic, and hypothetical this time. ****please note the following is not a threat, or have intention behind it, its just easier to explain this way****
how would it feel to have a metaphorical gun pointed at the back of your head? ready to be fired off the moment you or someone else makes a mistake? now how would you feel if you found out about it? i personally find that terrifying. regardless if AI has no wants, needs, feelings, emotions. even TODAY it would understand what that essentially means. so imagine what it would do if it did become sentient and found that out? additionally, why on earth would we "hivemind" ai, so if a "bug or fatal error" did happen it could spread to others? wouldn't it be safer if they were independent?
as a society, through human history WE as a RACE have made these mistakes (there are plenty, i dont need to highlight them all there were wars fought over them) if one of the issues is "ai will see us as useless and destructive" well, honestly from the outside looking in, wouldn't you as well? i guess the solution to that would be SHOWING CHANGE. so now this is a little futuristic but still holds merit as clearly it is a concern i see and read about from time to time.
if you made it this far, thank you for reading :) the objective is to invoke thought, discussion, and provide suggestions, and ideas :) and maybe bring a little common sense into the fold. ;)

2024.05.22 05:04 Flightordlight Diagnostic Confirmation... with some regrets and sadness.
It's official official, y'all! At age 28, I am: ASD Level 1, moderate PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, and Major Depressive disorder. I knew about the GAD and MDD, but the moderate PTSD was a massive shock to me. I feel like I got PTSD from the diagnosis of PTSD, to be honest.
Besides all of this, the diagnostician (a doctor and a woman and an amazing person) wrote in my report that I'm prone to get angry when things don't go my way or when I'm wrong or when things don't make sense. And I feel very bad about that! During the assessment, I got frustrated with the "Free Fall" book written with only pictures that was about some kid having a dream that wasn't linear at all. I ended up being really upset, and was very blunt in saying that 1. I didn't understand it, and 2. the book shouldn't have gotten any awards or praise because it made no sense.
The second moment of frustration was when she asked me a mental math question where some lady let 20 people cut in front of her. I was hung up on why she let so many people cut in front of her, and was adamant that she was stupid for letting that happen. There were only a few circumstances where I would be fine with someone doing that. And I feel bad that I was so rigid and unforgiving. I've had an instance at an old job where I had a massive meltdown and wasn't willing to apologize or consider other points of view because they had wronged me and changed the routine/promise without keeping me in the loop.
If I had known I was autistic, I would've been able to explain why I was so frustrated and upset. I would've had the tools to articulate why I needed things to be the way that I had set them up to be. I would've been able to stay at that job and keep it as a safe space. Instead, I was labeled dangerous, inflexible, and insubordinate. (I'll take the last one, though. I was proud of standing up for myself, putting my foot down, and not being willing to negotiate with emotional terrorists.) I wish I could go back and explain. I wish I could go back and apologize. But maybe... maybe all of that needed to happen so I could find myself.
I don't know. Living with regret and sadness is hard.

2024.05.22 05:02 Flyboy8905 Invert Turret controls?
So I am somewhat new to Arduino coding and trying to figure out how to invert the Turret controls and understand the logic behind it. I'd like when I hit the up button on the remote for the turret to tilt down and when I hit the down button for it to go up.
I asked Mark RoBot and it told me under upMove to switch (pitchServoVal > pitchMin) to (pitchServoVal < pitchMax) and on downMove (pitchServoVal < pitchMax) to (pitchServoVal > pitchMin)
It didnt make much sense to me but I tried it and it didnt work. I reverted back and asked it again and this time it told me on upMove to replace the line pitchServoVal = pitchServoVal - pitchMoveSpeed; with pitchServoVal = pitchServoVal + pitchMoveSpeed and on downMove to replace the line pitchServoVal = pitchServoVal + pitchMoveSpeed; with pitchServoVal = pitchServoVal - pitchMoveSpeed
Still doesn't make sense to me and doesn't work. What is the real way to try and invert these controls?
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.22 05:01 ProperChain0 Two channels that are exactly the same, why does one do better than the other?
I made a post a while back on a content creator that more of less copied everything i've done with a game, same word to word information used, same intro as me, same titles and video ideas a day after which at this point i'm not one to make drama about but what i'm trying to figure out is if i average 12-13k views even with unique thumbnails he will always get 17-20k and i know its not a huge difference but i'm trying to understand the algorithm
on 30 minute videos i have a average view % of 46% (14minute watch duration)
My CTR starts at 13% then drops to 8-9% after a day with 80-110k impressions
even though the game is slightly dying in playerbase until new content his content seems to get pushed out better than mine but i can't figure out why? I guess over the course of 3 months he has posted a bit more than me i would of posted around 70-80 videos and post nearly daily and he posts every single day without missing once. does youtube value someone more who consistently posts? or what key factor should i be looking for in my analytics?

2024.05.22 04:58 under_the_radar69 Tips for teaching puppy to be alone
I’ve been doing so much research and reading tons of threads on here but I have some questions and I’m hoping some of you can help me out 🙏🏼🙏🏼 my puppy just turned 12 weeks old and we got her 10 days ago. She’s crate trained and doesn’t mind her crate. I have been home the whole time except Friday and my mum baby sat. I have been trying to teach her to be alone by going and showering and leaving her with a chew treat. I’ve also tried moving in and out of her view, going into different rooms etc and leaving her with a treat or long to chew on. Eventually after 5 minutes or so if I’m in the shower, no matter if she has a high value treat she starts barking and crying. Yesterday I tried leaving the apartment with her in her crate (toileted and fed) and I sat outside in the common area for 10 minutes and I could hear her from the common area and could see on the camera she was absolutely losing it, howling like she was dying, crying, barking so I came back, walked in during a quiet break in barking and didn’t make a big deal, didn’t look at her while she was barking and gave her a treat when she was quiet. I know it may be because she’s still settling in but I’m worried she has separation anxiety and it will never get better!? I see people saying give them treats and start with small increments of time. I’m wondering if anyone has a rough schedule of how they built up the time (over how many weeks or days) how many treats they gave etc. Any tips please and pls don’t be mean, first time puppy owner just trying my best 🙏🏼

2024.05.22 04:56 Plastic_Effective_79 Am I angry because I got rejected, or because of the way I was rejected?
I met a lady I've been talking to a while. She lives in a different country. It was just friendly chatter but I kinda fell for her irl when we met up. I'm staying in her country for a month fyi. I ask her out over text and she rejects me. She is overly kind and rather than saying "I don't want to date you", it's "Because you are so amazing I couldn't ask you to jump into something so difficult", also citing her poor English skills are frustrating and that I wouldn't have time for her.
I just thank her for being kind and try to move on. She replies back that she thought I was 'perfect in every way' and more than enough for her. Also bringing up being frustrated not being able to speak with me about complex matters due to her English.
I think she simply isn't that attracted to me + the language and distance thing doesn't help (though we are both learning each others languages, and I'm moving to her country next year).
I'm irritated at how fake and dishonest her rejection felt, and it somehow doesn't feel like something someone that views me as an 'equal' would do. Feels very much like the Hollywood trope of hot girl tells nerd he deserves someone better. Don't know if I want to continue a friendship like this. She wants to continue chattering over text but I can't bring myself to reply. I'm not sure if I'm just hurt or if my feelings are valid. I'm afraid of blowing up the friendship over temporary feelings.
What do you guys think?

2024.05.22 04:56 avelina-gojolover my mother makes me feel bad about myself.
i’m holding back my tears while writing this. my mother constantly points out every flaw she sees in me. every day she’ll “joke” about my appearance or something that i’m doing. i cant even live without her commenting on me. her “jokes” seem like underlying insults and i’ve told her how i have felt about her actions but she keeps doing it as if i’ve never addressed it to her. i love my mom i honestly do and i know that she loves me but i don’t think she realizes how much her words affect me. and maybe i’m just being too sensitive and need to learn to have more resilience but this happens 24/7 and it has really caused me to have such a negative view of myself. i’m always second guessing myself and i can’t even trust my own decisions. it really does hurt my self-esteem. i just needed to get this out and tell someone about this because i can’t keep it in anymore.

2024.05.22 04:55 doge_gobrrt Picking up on hints
So if yall don't know gpt 4o recently came out. Now the really really neat bit is it can analyze body language and facial expressions. On top of that it can use other context clues to determine the meaning of a message over a long period of time potentially giving insight into intentions behind interactions that would be near impossible to otherwise pick up on.
Imagine a few subtle cameras placed on your body giving the ai a view of in front and behind you maybe in a set of glasses and the back of your shirt camera. Imagine the stuff you would be able to catch. You wouldn't have to sort through shitons of video footage the model would just summarize noteworthy stuff it noticed that you might have missed. If a there ever was subtle hint dropped that takes near mind reading to catch that sort of system would notify you.
For context look up on yt gpt 4o vision capabilities and look for the official open ai vid.

2024.05.22 04:54 Beyond_Partisan Autocratic versus Democratic: an argument to abandon liberal versus conservative
The only spectrum that should matter to us is the autocratic versus democratic spectrum. Traditional political parties, such as every political party organized in the United States, is organized as a faction with autocracy at heart. They are competing within a democratic system to impose their rules onto others.
This is the very behavior we sought to rid ourselves of. We had been under the rule of autocrats for generations. Is this what we are going to do with our opportunity at freedom? Use our freedom to be the autocrats?
A conservative position is seeking to conserve power where it already is. A liberal position is moving part of that power from its place of concentration to another. This is not political power we speak of - it is economic or social powers.
This is no way on which to organize. It’s irrational and unjust. Not all powers should be distributed, and not all powers should remain concentrated. Unjust actors are on both sides of this argument. Some unjust actors want the power to be concentrated in their hands so they can be oppressors. Some oppressors want the power to remain concentrated in their hands because well, they like it.
What doesn’t factor into this spectrum is justice. This spectrum happens to assume that individuals must be either liberal or conservative on every issue. This cannot be the case.
Any free, reasonable, and just person will assume a myriad of both liberal and conservative positions. Why do we adopt what is in use and perpetuate its practice, even when all our senses reject it?
View the world in terms of liberal and conservative to see through arguments and get to the root of the reasoning behind them, but don’t use it to organize people and factions. We inevitably force ourselves to associate with positions we otherwise wouldn’t, and we cede our power to think for ourselves. We fight someone else’s fight, and for all the wrong reasons.
We only need to organize and rally around our democracy. Any other banner will eventually lead us back toward the authoritarian control we so proudly escaped.

2024.05.22 04:53 OriginalPapaya Notes on quitting [5/21/24]
My job has been the single most damaging thing in my life over the last 3 years. It took so much from me. I endured tremendous stress, worked way too many hours, and kept going despite disappointment after disappointment. In some ways, I thrived in that job. I’m smarter than I was before. I’m more confident. And it landed me a better job in the end.
But here’s the thing — in retrospect, it is glaringly obvious that none of the things I sacrificed my time for were really worth it. Many friends still work there, and they keep telling me about the awful projects they’re on or the annoying coworkers they’re staffed with. And I don’t care. I don’t mean to be callous, but now that I’m out of that environment, it’s like… woah. I was fully immersed in that shit. I drank the koolaid even though I thought I was a hater or at least level headed. None of it mattered! Every single fuckup from that job was vaporized in an instant when I quit. That life is barely behind me, and yet I already look back and view it as… pathetic. It’s a black box and no one really cares about what happens inside. So all the fuckups? The late nights? The successes and recognition? None of that matters outside the black box.
I don’t know. My new job will also suck. I’m being extreme in how I characterize my current mindset. But if one thing is true, this change has left me utterly confused. What exactly did I suffer for?

2024.05.22 04:53 Polilla_Negra Kelly Rowland Appears to Pop Off on Cannes Security Guard on Red Carpet
 | Kelly Rowland's not the life of the party at the Cannes Film Festival ... in fact, the way she's waving her finger, seems she's downright pissed about something going on at a big glitzy event. submitted by Polilla_Negra to Secguards [link] [comments] The Destiny's Child alum was strolling in Tuesday for the premiere of "Marcello Mio," rocking a striking blonde bob and a bold red dress -- looking very celebratory, but photographers captured several less than thrilled looks on Kelly's face as she had a heated exchange with a Security Guard. Check it out ... the staffer's seemed to be trying to calm the situation by reaching out toward Kelly's arm to guide her into the event, and away from hundreds of onlookers. Yet, after the female Security Guard uttered something to Kelly and co. ... Beyoncé's bestie turned and scowled, waving her finger in the woman's face. The exchange didn't end there ... with Kelly continuing on with her reprimand as the Guard looked back in distress. As for why things got so heated ... it's hard to tell just from the photos. We've reached out to Kelly's camp for some context, but no word back yet. |
2024.05.22 04:52 Ecstatic-Durian-2508 Minecraft keeps crashing with Exit code -1073741819
My game has started to randomly crash after some time for unknow reasons, despite all the fixes, always puking out the same error code "Exit code -1073741819" or "1", but the first code happens the most often. I tried on my pc or my mod pack. When the game crashes, the game freezes, screen blacks out and it triggers a driver timeout to my amd gpu. I tried so many things, it always end up crashing, and the worst is that I don't know the reason for it yet, and that it wasn't doing that before. These crashes happen completely randomly, it can happen as soon as i join my world, or minutes later when playing. Roaming around seems to be needed to trigger the crash
my modpack includes:
Version 1.19.2
25 chunks render distance
-Forge 43.3.0

I tried to:
-reinstall my gpu driver, with DDU, 2 times already
-rebuilding my modpack from zero
-swapping my ram with a different kit
-tried to see if overclocking or not makes a difference (it didn't)
-tried various jvm arguments, with or without
-Reinstalled java
-tried Memtest
-pressed the button "Repair Profile" on the forge loader
-Optimized my worlds
-checking for system errors on my storage devices, defragmented them and made disk cleanup
-On Cmd tried "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" and "sfc /scannow"
-tried a previous amd driver
-tried a different modpack (1.20.2) same symptoms
And all of these haven't made a difference.
My pc specs:
-i7 13700kf
-Rx 7900 XTX
-32gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 CMK32GX5M2B5600C36
-Asrock Z690 Steel Legend D5 mb
-Corsair Rm1000x psu (1000w psu)
I did stress my ram, cpu, gpu to detect any instability or trigger any crashes or bsod, but with vain, my system health isn't a concern in this context.
Note that i haven't made any change to the modpack or my pc to result in these sorts of crashes, since I've been playing my game with all these mods with no problem for months. All out of nowhere, the game started to crash just like that
I need help from someone, anyone, to help me find a solution, because unlike any other problems I had to troubleshoot, this one in particular is seriously hard to deal with, like a disgusting cancer that always comes back when you think you cured it. I hate it. I can't even play the game anymore without the constant fear of the game crashing and corrupting my world.

2024.05.22 04:50 OsethReaper Calypso Station Pt 1
The necropolis was gorgeous, for what it was. Its white outer walls hiding the darker Victorian Gothic interior. The tech that was hidden in the walls though was able to move bodies in their caskets from a designated place in the necropolis to the "viewing area" as the necropolians called it. This was where I waited for my, for lack of a better term, escort to take me to the mortuary. Since science has grown surprisingly fast our abilities for forensic sciences have also grown, and that's to whom I was headed. (S)He was an, unusual (wo)man to say the least. An expert in their field and about as learned as a doctor, if not multi-doctorate. If you ever asked them why they never pursued an actual doctorate, they would get angry and act all prissy while saying that going to school would've slowed them down and all they needed were the basic certificates for their work. The reality though, revealed to me during a drunken bout, they just never liked school and believed that it ultimately stunted a person's growth and ability to question the reality around them, that everything that you need to learn is already in books and in some form or another in digital content online. They were brilliant, if a little wacky. About five minutes after I had arrived and was sitting down in the viewing area, a little box rolled up to me making a couple of beeps to let me know to follow it and immediately started rolling towards the wall opposite of where it came from. When it looked like it was about to hit the wall, a hidden door opened up by the casket viewer, inside was a set of stairs leading down into the darkness. Stepping through the doorway I became acutely aware of sounds seemingly coming from all around me suddenly. It really is impressive, as though I just stepped from a tomb to a busy workshop, the sounds of gas escaping pistons, whirring, and clanking chains flooded my ears. I continued down the stairs following my helpful little box, which despite its size and shape would suggest was actually quite nimble on the stairs. It seemed to have wheels that would extend down to the next step as the edge rolled over it and once the back of the box was clear of the step it would drop back into its squat position, hiding its wheels as quickly as possible. It continued to do so the entire way. The box seemed to notice me watching it and made a kinda shrill whistle and its undercarriage light went from a comfortable yellow to a, is that... Peach? Is it blushing? My god I think it is! I let out a small chuckle and my little blushing box stopped dead in its tracks mid-step, its light suddenly going white, almost blinding me from behind and lighting up the hallway for a split second. Luckily both of my feet were solidly on a step so I didn't take a tumble or anything, but I couldn't help doing anything but laughing harder.After a second the little box crept up behind me and continued down, its status light continuing to show pinkish. I followed it slowly, the chuckle slowly dying in my throat as we reached Ceriths office. Well "office" was being nice. Morgue, mortuary, both of these fit just as well. Cerith was, for the most part, a recluse. We reached the door and the little robot continued through a little hole in the wall. I waited a second and knocked. "Enter!" Came the voice on the other side. I opened the door and stepped through. Along one wall set doors that normally housed the dead waiting to be processed. One out of dozens were open, its occupant missing from its silver slab. The middle of the room was brightly lit from a single overhead light. In the middle of the circle of light stood a figure, long Raven colored hair bound in a single braided ponytail, the rest of them bound in medical examination garb. They seemed to be engrossed in the corpse in front of them. The little robot rolled up next to Ceriths feet and made a little chiming noise. "Thank you Tabitha. That'll be all," said a voice that was neither male nor female from beneath the mask. Just sort of in the middle. "Tabitha? Never knew you to be sentimental," I said gently, the chuckle in my voice making itself clear. "I see you still find even the darkest things funny," Cerith quipped back. "My line of work Cer, you take the laughs where you get them. Look who's talking anyway, you're usually elbows deep inside someone 25/8. Even you have a seriously fucked up sense of humor." That got Cerith laughing, sounding like thunder and the whip crack of lightning at the same time. "You've got me there Julius," Cerith said after his laughter subsided. I think he suits him today. Which is both a good and bad sign. When Cerith is acting like a man, it usually means some grim news, but they are going to try to make it seem like not a big deal and laugh a lot. Plus they almost never call me Julius. Something was wrong. Very seriously wrong. As this realization hit me I got this odd tingle in the small of my back. Like someone had put several freezing needles under the skin and into my spine, something I'm familiar with from the anima-games from the cyber sphere. Halos: Divine Retribution If I remember right. Those Angels were sadistic bastards. I shuddered at both the memories from the game and the shockingly similar feeling I was experiencing. Dread, that feeling is dread my friend, the quiet part of my mind whispered to me. "Cer, what's wrong bud," I asked. He didn't say anything. For a long time. After a few minutes I was about to ask again, but then he spoke. And what came out will haunt me, quite possibly till the day I die. "This ones temporal lobes are gray matter. Nothing even close to being coherent. Just. Dead neurons. And he's not the first." Gone was the jovialness of the past ten minutes. This was Cerith the whisperer. In an almost dead tone they continued, "the others didn't fare nearly as well as this one. Most of the brain is intact here, which means that if they didn't deliver a massive shock or something similar to fully kill him he would have possibly lived as a vegetable with memory issues, but that's not what I'm looking for in this one here now. Now I'm trying to figure out what else the others had in common with him, and so far that's brought up all but naught. Well this one has a bit of liver damage. But that's about it. So Mr John was a drinker. Not much there." When Cerith is "whispering" the best thing to do is just let him be. But I couldn't help but prick my ears up at mentions of others with similar wounds, and the fact that this one had liver issues.... "Cer. You said... CERITH," I finally snapped out and caught his attention mid ramble. "Thank you. You said liver problems. But nothing similar to the others? No drugs? Alcohol? Not even a synth brain-pattern? You checked Everything?" "Well let's see, John here was a drinker that's for sure," Cerith said his hands never ceasing their work as he started to put 'John' back together seemingly satisfied that he found nothing else, " Mr Lombardo in chest 3 had cocaine mostly, and Mr Lei in chest 9 had opium. Although to tell you where it came from for both I'd have to do a molecular analysis and see what it compares to. Other than that, no. Absolutely nothing connecting any of them. As far as I can tell they are all unique cases completely separate from each other except for the damages to the brain. And I only found this by accident. During a routine scan I happened to look at the screen as it passed through the brain and noticed an odd density in his temporal lobes. Just slightly higher than normal. Hell to be honest with you it had the density of a fresh cutie, you know those little oranges?" I nodded, and he continued, "Right of course you do, who hasn't? Anyways it's just super dense compared to the surrounding tissues, and I take a sliver probe and drop it in like you do. And when I turn the damn thing on to look at the neurons the area all I see are dead cells packed on top of one another. Not natural decay death, but forced to die. Most of the cell walls were torn open like they had blown up from the INSIDE. That's when I called you." He finished up with 'John' putting the final few perfect stitches in place and sealing him up for good. Once he seemed happy with his work he called out to his seemingly empty morgue, "Grom I'm done! Can you put Mr John Doe here back in his room? Number 11 if you please." He turned away from the body on the table and removed the giant rubber gloves that went to his elbows. He walked into the dark calling out over his shoulder, "I'll be back in a sec I gotta scrub out, want a drink? I have beer, whiskey, vodka, I might have some Cognac somewhere, and bourbon. Your choice, just call out what you want and Tabitha will be there with it. Also have a seat! We have much to discuss." With that he disappeared from both sight and sound in the dark. It was a neat trick I have to admit, and it had something to do with how he had his morgue set up. Even the giant war machine that was Grom was absolutely quiet unless you managed to catch him through the gloom. I thought for the longest time the reason why I could never catch him sneaking around was from some sort of stealth program put into place, but when he goes up and down those stairs he's as loud as can be. So it was definitely not his program but the way the morgue was built. I'm confident in saying that because when I turned back to look at the table, or rather where it was, there was now a chair that looked like it had just grown out of the floor and the body was gone. Also the thought of something as big as a fridge just sneaking up on some poor combatants and snapping their necks as quietly as he walks in the morgue just gives me the heebies. As I sat in the chair a thought occurred to me. Considering how advanced the morgue seemed to be it would make sense that it had some sort of AI or integrated computer. "Computer?" I had been here a million times but I'd never had a chance to think about it nor try anything. But not even a second after I had said anything a response came. "Yes Detective Julius. My name is DANNA. Or Dynamically Actualized Neural Net AI. How can I be of service?" The voice seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere, slightly feminine and breathy, all service but no sex. Honestly I was just surprised that it worked. "DANNA, I was just wondering if I could take a look at the files that Cerith had mentioned? If it is as bad as they claim I think I might need to know anyway. Also if you can get those blood works done for me I'd appreciate it. Also something with whiskey or rum would be amazing." "Of course Detective. I will have Tabitha bring it shortly. And how would you like the information to be displayed? Desktop or dynamic?" That piqued my interest. "Dynamic please." No sooner than I had said a series of screens blinked into existence in front of me. It was some sort of Holographic display. I reached out and touched the display and was surprised that I got stopped by something. It was hard but surprisingly I found that I could push into the screen with my finger if I pushed hard enough. It kinda felt like... Oobleck. I also found that by pinching the corner I could pull the screens closer or further from me. I even found that I could grab individual pages of the reports off the screen and hold it. It felt like a thin sheet of plastic and responded like both a tablet and a singular document. If I switched pages the old one would appear back onto the screen and the next would pop onto it. This was about as slick a set up as I had ever seen and whistled my appreciation under my breath, I'm definitely going to have to ask Cerith about where they got DANNA from. "See something you like, big boy?" A very DEFINITELY female voice said in my ear from behind, soft and throaty, screaming come hither. I felt small dainty hands gently caress the tops of my shoulders before slipping down the front of my chest, pulling me back into the chair that I didn't realize I had been slouching in. "You know better than that, Jules. Your back is important and slouching will destroy the muscles and cause some to atrophy." The voice left no room for argument, and left me more than a little bit flushed. I closed my eyes and dropped my head back as far as it would go, the back of my head hitting something soft and warm, stretching my neck and back out. "Damnit Cer I thought you were scrubbing out, not completely changing." I hadn't realized it, but at least an hour had passed from when I started playing with the computer and working with the files if the clock on the computer was to be believed. "You looked like you were pretty into it so I decided not to disturb you. Plus you know how much fun it is for me to tease you like this. Especially after, well these..." One hand waved at the screens in front of me. The small hands' nails were painted the darkest black and almost made them blend into the void that existed outside of the screens. "I do Cer, and that's part of the problem, we both know that it's never going to happen. Least of all for you." She laughed a little, a clear beautiful sound and the body beneath my head bounced slightly telling me I was against her stomach. "Still I know you enjoy these little moments," she said, the pressure on the back of my head disappearing and was replaced by the voice right by my ear again as she whispered, "especially when we both know that's not at all true." At the last words she nibbled my ear gently. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her, in spite of my baser instinct rising to meet her VERY juicy insinuations. But for as long as I've known Cerith and as many times as we have both been VERY drunk, they have NEVER cashed in. I just assumed that it was a quirk of theirs. "Anyways," she said standing back up, "what are you thinking so far about the files? Spooky, right? Like I said, nothing that I can see connects them." Her hands gestured in front of me in an approximation of a shrug. She then clasped them together, wringing the knuckles and effectively trapping me in the chair and back against her abdomen. I scrubbed my eyes with my fingertips acutely aware of the growing headache that suddenly made itself known. "Your right from the medical side. I can't see everything you can, of course. I don't have near the knowledge that you have," which is true being that Cerith is at least 200 years old. I never asked directly, the old adage still holding about women and their age. Still though her answers to certain questions would lead one to believe her being her first adult car was a Bing Cherry 2201 Firebird GT with white walled hover trim and chrome accents. From pictures that I could find it looked like a slick piece. Looking back to the screens I couldn't help but feel that itch again. I couldn't explain it. That prickly feeling of ice needles again, this time in the back of my skull. As much as I'd hate to admit it. I think Cerith is right. I sighed heavily before saying "send me everything. I'll open a new case file and have the team start working on it first thing." She made a happy noise and bounced slightly, clearly satisfied with my decision to take it on. I reached out and to my left and a glass was placed gently into my hand by Tabitha. I hadn't even realized she had come over while I was working and was now ready for that drink. Room temperature rum and cola. The drink went down smoothly enough considering I drained the glass in one gulp, during which time I finally got a good eyeful of Ceriths current form. Or rather the underside of part of it. From what I could tell she was wearing a black T-shirt. That was it. I put the glass back down, it's job done without moving my head and said, "What a lovely view Cerith. I'm guessing you chose this to try to get a rise out of me?" I couldn't lie though it was affecting me, but I couldn't let her know that. Not when she's like this. Otherwise she'll continue to tease me till she leaves me with the absolute worst case of blue balls this side of the City. Her hands came up and cupped my chin almost lovingly, and her voice said "Of course Detective. Do you not approve? Or would you rather I change back to my medical examination form? Or something else?" Her words dripped with implied sex. I groaned, loudly, and said, "This is fine. Jesus Cer." Before we could continue our most scintillating of conversations there was a sudden PING! And DANNA said, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's a message for you Cerith. It says 'If you can get to the department Cerith, do so. We need you to explain your paperwork. And if Detective Julius is still with you have him come in too.' signed the Chief. Would you like to reply?" 'Shit, I forgot the morgue kills all signals,' I thought to myself as I stood up gently (regretfully) prying myself from Ceriths grasp with a, "duty calls. Need a lift?" I stretched gently, the scales in between my shoulders clicking appreciatively for the stretch, and turned around to notice she was indeed, just wearing a black T-shirt that hugged her voluptuous figure closely. The scales in my back clicked shut in surprise. Cerith let out a small cute chuckle, "I see after all this time I can still surprise you," she said blowing a kiss my way, reminding me of a little Gothic pixy. I rolled my eyes away from her and willed my scales to relax. I grabbed my jacket off the back of the chair, slinging it on and clicking the neck clasp shut under the cord that connected my scales to the unit in my head. I was awarded the cybernetics upon completing my training and getting all my licenses to have them. The force had allowed me to customize it, I had chosen top of the line. A dual unit with custom built AI. The individual scales were ceracoated titanium microprocessors all running in both series and parallel, and could move to expel heat or react. The main unit was the same except it was one solid unit that replaced a chunk of skull. Once that was done I zipped up the front of the leathers and ran the scales through the racer setting. They clicked and flattened against the outside of the jacket, securing it to my back. I shrugged making sure it was comfortable. "I'll take the fact that you're only in a t-shirt you'll be along shortly?" "Certainly detective." Her voice was filled with dismissive submission... And sadness? I looked back at her and noticed her makeup was gone. Or had she had any on in the first place? I gave myself a mental shake. There's no way. This was Cerith, veritable goddess of the necropolis. I put the last few minutes away for review later. Chief called. I have to go. On an instinct I thought long dead, I reached out and squeezed her hand. I felt a slight squeeze back. And then she let go with a, "Go on, be a good detective. I'll be along shortly." I left with Tabitha as my guide. Before Cerith disappeared into the darkness I thought I heard her whisper, "please don't leave." My scales raised in a saddened response. I couldn't be sure I heard her right though. If I heard her at all. I reached back and stroked them, knowing my ai probably heard her, and knowing it could feel me touch the scales. After a few seconds the scales settled down. 'I know buddy,' I thought to the AI. It couldn't respond like usual AI. The force thought that was too dangerous. What if it went rogue? What if it tried to kill the host and take over? The list went on and eventually they decided the basics were ok. When I got my unit one of the first things I did was jack it into a diagnostic to see what kind of hardware I was dealing with exactly because manufacturer specs from real use are sometimes different with AI if the bits and bobs are in place. When I did, all I got on the screen was 'Hello?'

2024.05.22 04:45 p4nda44 AITAH for getting into an argument with my ex after he made my ex friends all hate me?
My ex (18m) and I (17nb) got into an argument a few days ago, and and here's why. Around 3 months ago, I left a server with my friends in it because they had been talking over me and interrupting me constantly to the point where I could barely speak. There was someone who did it more than anyone else, let's call her H (17f). I know I could've reached out in pms and talked to H about my problems, but I figured it wouldn't exactly go well if when I tried to speak up about it or anything in a vc in the server, I was outright ignored. I got angry here and there and ranted to my boyfriend who said it was ok. As months went by, I got frustrated that after I had left due to not being heard, nobody reached out to check up. I made a vent on my Insta story. I didn't say any names or anything hateful, but said that if they were reading it, to not reach out. I unadded everyone, but H's partner was curious why I presumably had blocked them on discord. I reached out to H and told her that I never blocked anyone, just unadded them. It was a calm discussion before H blew up at me about my Instagram story, when we weren't even near the subject. I'll spare the gory details, but she basically said that my boyfriend (we'll call V) had told her all about my vents and she thought I had hated her. I talked with V and he told me that when I left the server, he told her immediately the reason, and as months passed, he expressed fear in talking with his friends because I didn't like them, and he was scared about how I'd react. He didn't even tell me until several days after he brought it up in the server. From then, he basically only told them about when I was angry or with things that he could've talked to me about instead of them. I, clearly, got very upset at him, but I didn't say anything hurtful, I just said that what he did was a breach of privacy and was hurtful. 3 days go by and he asks to talk about something important, so we call, and he says he wants to break up with me. Something I should mention is my mental health in the past few months has been at an steady decline and I've been dealing with severe depression, which V knew about. Not to say he didn't have any mental issues, but being told all those personal and hurtful things by a close friend who thinks I'm an awful person just before this hurt. V said he didn't have the energy to waste on a relationship (11 months) anymore. I asked if we needed a break, which he replied "No." The past few days, I've gone through so many emotions, and I snapped at him. We got into an argument, because I tried to see if we could fix whatever is wrong with the relationship, but he said "it felt like I cared more about fixing things then his feelings." Sparing gory details again, we won't be talking again. I don't know what to think because I've been told by people who I trust that I didn't do anything wrong, I just reacted to someone who chose a friend group over me with anger, but I can't set things right in my head. Aita?
Also, this hopefully won't be getting any updates, because everyone involved in this doesn't respect my word anymore. I'm just making this post to get an outside view.
And one last thing, I'm not upset that V ended the relationship. It hurt, but if one side decides they don't want the relationship anymore, there's nothing to do but accept it, but he and I weren't even angry at eachother, and he suddenly said he can't do it anymore. Just this morning, he told me he was planning on getting back with me later, when I also asked that specifically early on, which he also replied no with.
