And they’re leaving it in my hands 🙃

Anyone have any suggestions for tools/technologies to look into? It will most likely take the form of csv extracts from system A with fields/objects to be mapped to system B.

Also, this question is truly an instance of how the internet is a fucking wasteland. I could’ve asked this question 5 or 6 years ago on Reddit and gotten something meaningful, but today I would get replies from tons of company accounts trying to sell me their garbage solutions based on LLM wrappers

They will simply not recognize why the only reason they are feeling this way about Kirk is because the video of his death was extremely graphic, but would never have the same energy for the people dying in the same way in other countries. Idk I guess asking for consistency is asking for the world

I personally find nothing wrong with acknowledging that it’s horrendous that his children no longer have a father. But why does that always seem to terminate all thought and excuse every vile thing he stood for in his life 🤔 truly, it’s like a Godamn get out of jail free card

This is why I don’t spend a lot of time outside. People are extremely fake and always rationalizing their fakeness by hiding behind statistics that reveal them to be “normal.”

I really suck at mapping feelings to situations. I don’t know what causes this (I don’t know if the what or the why even matters), but sometimes it can fucking hit. I can go from feeling everything to feeling nothing, and the latter makes me believe I never truly felt the way I thought I did. Can anyone relate?

Maybe it’s as simple as boundaries? Maybe I discover dealbreakers that are hard to ignore? Maybe it’s because sometimes, I feel like I need more alone time than usual, and people always seem to take this personally. Which is why I force myself to hang around for way too long

I fear this is something that therapy can never fix because I am simply describing neurodivergence incarnate

Looking back on how I’ve always wanted the body I have now because I was certain that it would get me something is so fucking foolish in retrospect lmao I’m very blessed to have managed to kill that part of me at 17. Terrifying how it still persists in other grown ass people though. It should have always been for my own self.

Point being (and I hope to apply this to other aspects of life as well) is that all that changed is that I found routine that worked (which is the push I needed to get my shit together). Your mileage may vary with this approach to completing tasks, but it’s genuinely been unbelievable for me in terms of results. Admittedly there’s a lot of privilege that comes with this, but if you’re able to get to a point where you can do something at the same time everyday? Sky’s the limit

When I had an easy way to categorize my age, I felt way too comfortable around people simply because they were in my age range. Obviously it doesn’t work that way now that I’m exposed to people of all ages in work or when doing activities, but finding ways to relate has never seemed more difficult. I keep getting told that everyone is looking for some sense of community or whatever, but it’s so fucking hard to break in. Especially as a single person without many of the common life experiences you’re expected to have in your late 20s. What’s going on in my head is another problem. Like, I have some of the same voices that have been around since I was a kid. Aging, especially in a rapidly changing world going to shit in every way, blows.

Short and sweet article that lists every degree being killed. Death to Indiana

I kinda cringe at a text message I sent someone who I met on a dating app. After years of being away from that hellish landscape (my opinion because I’ve seen that many people on this site have met partners there), I’m just now noticing some of its darker and unfortunate sides.

Christ yeah, I still remember exactly what I said and it was weird. I truly thought I had found “the one” simply because they were semi-attractive and liked a few of the same things I did with the same intensity. And didn’t mind receiving texts in paragraphs kinda in the same way this is written right now (that was a pretty big one tbh)

Because I thought they were “the one” I’ve kept her as a friend and slowly learned I did a ton of projecting. It’s really come to the point where one of the only reasons I continue with the friendship is because I don’t have many other friends really. Cue one of the other parts that always says I can never be pleased and echoes the sentiments of everyone who has repeatedly told me something similar. Call me a hater, difficult or always unhappy, but the one thing I truly can’t stand is being the friend who in addition to existing mostly on the side is poked here and there. It all comes back to the old idea of being in relationships that aren’t fulfilling because the only ones that have fulfilled me are dead and gone.

I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?

The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.

Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek

That is all, but I do know it feels like imprisonment

You draft up messages of what to say to someone but never really send them. Instead, you pretend that they’ve responded to whatever nonsense you conjured. In the time you could’ve spent potentially building a friendship, you’ve got nothing and sometimes even think you’ve reached out (this has gotta be one of the biggest downsides to virtual communication imo I’ve never been able to convince myself that I’ve been in person with someone)

Perhaps this might be a sign of low-self confidence?

Starting to think I might be neurodivergent as I get older although I’ve never been diagnosed. What I’m describing is a pattern when it comes any type of person who is new in my life.

I guess it explains why I’ve mostly kept the same set of friends since elementary/high school though 😅 curious if anyone has pointers

Nope, no Nazis on that platform whatsoever nuh uh. Totally normal like to comment ratio!

Godamn no matter what search engine you use, every fucking result is SEO garbage that pushes an AI-generated blog post to the top

At this point, wouldn’t it make sense to scrape the results of a search, feed the results into the wayback machine and filter results before 2021 or something?

Idk just seems like a nice little tool to have for people who still do a lot of searching online for work
