Why aren’t you doing what you need to do? Do you really need to do all of it? What’s the one thing you need to do, will it be that difficult to start to do it?

Lol I don’t have it on hand, but someone did a centroid analysis of another smaller but open GPT model, and found the “word” at the “center” of the model space was “a man’s penis”

Get dem gains. For the glory of the swoletariat!

This is the most probable answer. Just using an established technology to make claims and suck up investment money.

This but adding don’t buy a super large one (like 13in) as no accessories are made for that size

Shoutout to my Trondheim bros

I’ve been reading The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber, and David Wengrow. While I haven’t finished it yet, it’s an excellent analysis of how Human societies actually formed based on anthropological and archeological evidence.

Basically everything that Sapiens should have been, and they call out the lib version of Human history regularly.

Really upset that further books will likely never develop due to the death of Graeber.

Hey how do door number twpo?

The explanation I’ve always heard was that it was his response to otakus jerking off to anime characters. I.e. women who can’t hurt you with rejection. This is who he sees them as.

From an article in which he is interviewed:

Anno understands the Japanese national attraction to characters like Rei as the product of a stunted imaginative landscape born of Japan’s defeat in the Second World War. “Japan lost the war to the Americans,” he explains, seeming interested in his own words for the first time during our interview. “Since that time, the education we received is not one that creates adults. Even for us, people in their 40s, and for the generation older than me, in their 50s and 60s, there’s no reasonable model of what an adult should be like.” The theory that Japan’s defeat stripped the country of its independence and led to the creation of a nation of permanent children, weaklings forced to live under the protection of the American Big Daddy, is widely shared by artists and intellectuals in Japan. It is also a staple of popular cartoons, many of which feature a well-meaning government that turns out to be a facade concealing sinister and more powerful forces.

Anno pauses for a moment, and gives a dark-browed stare out the window. “I don’t see any adults here in Japan,” he says, with a shrug. “The fact that you see salarymen reading manga and pornography on the trains and being unafraid, unashamed or anything, is something you wouldn’t have seen 30 years ago, with people who grew up under a different system of government. They would have been far too embarrassed to open a book of cartoons or dirty pictures on a train. But that’s what we have now in Japan. We are a country of children.”

I feel like we need more of this style.

oh jeeeeezus. My brain would be a storm if I had to fat roll while using dex weapons

I was having such a hard time putting a name to the style of history they were doing. Is that really the name for it? It really is aggravating in the show and so lazily explained why all events depend on like two people.

This show is such a fucking hate watch for me. Space Napoleonic wars that has a episode which is just 30 minutes of history channel just barely clears the “what if fash is good though” jack off fantasy the whole thing is.

Can we get a LotGH sub, so I have an excuse to re-watch fash propaganda and rant about it online, and learn ways a space napoleon story could be made better by people who actually know Napoleonic history?

Check out complexity theory and criticality mate.

I think for some of us this is just the case and for different reasons. Some people will see others standoffish because they think are attractive and will assume them to be dismissive.

I think if you can acknowledge it as your “social role” to some degree, and just try to do your best with it. Try initiating until you become desensitized to it. Ain’t going to lie, it’s gonna suck for a long time and you have keep an effort up, but it is learnable.
