Once you come to terms with how bad faith arguments work and why they are used then a bunch of problems in life unravel elegantly but frustratingly. It’s kinda simple. You want to prove yourself right so you sabotage anything that can prove you wrong, you seek things that can prove you right and intentionally avoid scrutiny of the validation. OP has no honest intentions and just wants to use the tricks that he thinks will influence his partner. He has demonstrated elsewhere that he doesn’t care about her, only his possession of her.

You are right about the nicotine stimulant effect.

What I was trying to say(badly) was; If the part of the day that smoking helps with is relief, then its not the stimulant effect, but the craving alleviation effect.

I could rephrase it as wanting that rush compared to NEEDING that rush.

OP clearly has a lot of maturing to do and it’s possible he has reached his maximum maturity. The best thing for all parties is that OP continues to mark himself as an outcast to be shunned by other people. He doesn’t deserve his partner and I hope she moves on sooner rather than later.

I hope you grow and have a happy life OP. I doubt you can though, so keep marking yourself with your stench so we can avoid you.

The way it helps you get through the day would mostly be from getting relief from the withdrawal symptoms. Only addicts will get that.

How do you feel smoking helps you through the day?

Here’s a challenge. Quit for 24 full hours and then continue. If the way it helps you through the day seems to be intensifying then its the addiction withdrawal. Don’t 24 hour quit quietly either, tell your partner that you are going to prove yourself. Stay honest please.

we need to pour funds and funds into the education system and move more focus onto critical thinking, logical fallacies and self-esteem / self-image, as it plays a large role in calling out injustices and building an accurate world view

Nope. Education is our own responsibility. Leave it to the state or organisations and get brain-raped. Teach yourself, teach your kids, teach your friends etc. For the most part we need to purify our own knowledge and learn to learn on our own.

You are right about critical thinking and such.

Yep. One of the biggest problems with lemmy is the spammed low quality stuff like posts and communities. It needs soul! Your solution would help.

Generic communities as I call them. They shouldn’t be allowed.

If you argue that any attempt to resolve an economic dispute(that apple is mine!) is through government, then yes, they will exist as long as we do.

I’ll stop fighting when Meta no longer exists.

WHAAT? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE MEEEEEMEES!!. SPEAK LOUDEERRR!

If we had an option to hide image/text/link based posts from our browse selection, especially ‘all’, then I think we would be able to find them by accident much more easily.

You listed a few interesting things and seemed miss an important one.

I might be a bit wrong in what I’m about to say, but the basics are right. Meta released a chatGPT like LLMs source code and had their weights leaked. Their model is named LLaMA.

People have been messing around with LLaMA inspired LLMs on their personal computers thanks to meta for months now.

Bad actor LLM bots are now a hobbyist level task. The fediverse is showing signs of not significantly caring or trying. Imo, Lemmy instances aren’t ready for this.

It’s a standard propaganda technique. Beware any group that has a phrase about what they claim to be. If you are something, you don’t need to announce it. e.g. Jehovah’s witnesses call their dogma “the truth”

Got it! thanks

I swear I’ve heard it before, maybe even knew what it was, but I don’t remember. I googled it, and its old enough that the links are dead. Haha

Crypto I think could also used to be slang for crypto-fascist which is a person hiding their status as a fascist.

Would be nice for it to stop being used about crypto currency.

I desperately want to see bans for excessive bad faith and unnecessarily abusive accounts. I’m getting stressed out with the amount of abuse and garbage floating around by a hyper-vocal minority or bots/bad actors.

Feels like each day Lemmy becomes more like r/the_donald.

At some point it all stops mattering. You treat bots like humans and humans like bots. It’s all about logic and good/bad faith.

I’ve had an embarrassing attempt to identify a bot and learned a fair bit.

There is significant overlap between the smartest bots, and the dumbest humans.

A human can:

• Get angry that they are being tested
• Fail an AI-test
• Intentionally fail an AI-test
• Pass a test that an AI can also pass, expecting an AI to fail.

It’s too unethical to test, so I feel that the best course of action is to rely on good/bad faith tests, and logic of the argument.

Turing tests are very obsolete. The real question to ask, Do you really believe that the average persons sapience is really that noteworthy?

A well made LLM can exceed a dumb person pretty easily. It can also be more enjoyable to talk with or more loving and supportive.

Of course there are things that current LLMs can’t do well that we could design tests around. Also long conversations have a higher chance to show a failure of the AI. Secret AIs and future AIs might be harder of course.

I believe dead internet theories spirit. Strap in meat-peoples, rides gonna get bumpy.

Thank you :)
