*Edit: JFC, I've been physically ill at the thought that I was just trying to justify choosing something that was just shitty behavior. I haven't even been all that comfortable talking to my therapist about it as much as I've needed to. And reading every single response (so far)..... well i'm in literal tears over the relief I feel not being alone in thought. Thank you. *

To clarify, they want me to use the money to buy a duplex / other property for me take care of (for the entire place) and to renovate and to live in, while renting out the other unit/room/whathaveyou so that I don't have to worry about property taxes or the basic necessities of life.

(feel free to ignore this paragraph explaining my anxities and ignorance)The entire topic of inheritance and the circumstances leading to one has caused several of my worst panic attacks when it has been brought up in the past. (Bad enough to require medication assistance to regulate) And thankfully, this family member was aware and stopped bringing it up as they were in the habit of doing. Over the last 2 years I've come a long way with my issue and getting help fortunately, which has proven to be useful in this context recently. Their health recently took a scary decline, I've been able to regulate myself in the discussions that have followed, within reason.

I haven't yet been capable of asking the specifics on how much money it will be, or if there will be any trusts or whatever etc. And honestly, I don't think I'll be able to in the near future. But the way they talk about it, it sounds as though it will be enough to at (at least almost) pay for a small duplex type of situation.

I'm currently unhoused, and have been for over a year, so there is no love of capitalism in me, much less any desire to "be a landlord". I feel very ethically convicted against becoming what I think of when I think of Landlords, even one of those local 2-3 property owning ones.

Unfortunately I feel that clashing with the rest of values surrounding honoring the wishes of what is currently my last surviving relative (who I still remain in contact with and love dearly). Not to mention whatever might be a part of any legal stuff pertaining to her will. (which I know hardly anything about and still makes me panicked just typing about)

My main question:

Is it ethical to own a property that I live in, provide the standard maintenance for, and work on renovating.... and also rent out part of it?

I value my ethics, and part of that has always been assessing the nuances thoughtfully. When I think about the specifics of this, I find difficulty in framing that situation as the role of a landlord. Landlord being defined, at least the way I think about what a landlord is / the way other people use it.

My followup question:

Is anyone who is paid money that is for sure another person's "rent money" considered a landlord, regardless of it being the only property they own? Even if they also live there?

I typed all this up for someone who posted a.... very strangely written question regarding something they noticed with AI, but it appears to be deleted/removed.... and, well, I wanna know if I got their question rephrased in a less... difficult to understand format. And then the answer to said question, because I find it interesting as well.

What I typed in response:

After parsing the insanity that is your writing style and... English as a second language? Allow me to confirm and summarize, because I find this question fascinating.

You've come across a LLM trend associated with said LLM being given instruction to describe/pretend to be a human named Delilah. LLM's have gone viral at times for being instructed to formulate their output to sound like famous people with what appears to be resonable accuracy. But what goes into that ability is human words previously written associated with that person (or rather, their full name/titles/etc), as well as purposful restrictions given to the LLM directly (like, don't output the N word).

Another lesser/totally unquantifiable factor in the output's "tone" is result of errors in the blackbox algorithm that associates the "words" (not truly words I know, but essentially) in ways that aren't what you'd expect.

(Here's where my slight confusion mostly is) Each of these "factors" associated with the tone of the output... you've given names to? Or maybe my entirely self-researched knowledge has missed an agreed-upon naming system for these "characters"? I'm not quite sure.

And now your question and qualifers : Is there a pop culture/historic person or character named Delilah who is associated with furry stuff? Because you have been looking at some of the interesting mistaken/innacurate tones adopted by a LLM, and you've noticed that asl the LLM to output as if it was Delilah, and the results are furry related. And typically this sort of issue is mostly due to overlapping/similar names in the model's training (as well as much stranger links without any explanation as to how they formed). And you're research on "Delilah" hasn't turned up anything giving reason for the LLM's furry related output

.... is that more or less what you are saying?

I guess googleads sucks even more than I thought

Love the app! Bought the adfree for reddit, plan on buying this one too once I move out of my car.
