Absolutely. That’s the preferred way. Be active and put in the effort.

Yeah that’s true. Search results, movie reviews and blogs definitely can be used to steer it in any direction. You just need to keep the LLM on a very short leash and keep a close eye on its diet. Takes some effort to do this properly.

Oh boy, did that rub everyone the wrong way.

Either way, you could have your own LLM agent and run it locally. That way your recommendations wouldn’t be steered towards greatest quarterly revenue. Instead, it would be something that actually serves your purposes.

What I thought mattered at the time: Opinions of other people
What actually mattered: My own opinions

People expected me to borrow money, buy a house, get married, travel the world etc. I didn’t actually want to do any of those. Well, eventually I did screw up, got stuck in that situation for years, but now I’m finally free again. Phew. 😌

If I could send a message back in time to a 20 year old me it would be this:
You may not be entirely sure about what you do want, but you certainly know what you don’t want. Let the latter guide you. When people expect you to do something you don’t want, don’t do it. Peer pressure in this context is just annoying noise, nothing more. You shouldn’t make life-altering things unless you’re really sure about it. It isn’t enough that everyone else has done it and expects you to follow suit. Contrary to many cultural norms, the people around you don’t actually always know what’s good for you.

And it still fits. 😂 There are outfits that reveal parts with censored names.

Sounds like the bubble is about to pop.

Religious targets? You get bonus points if you start a holy war.

This article is AI slop. You’re probably the first human to ever think about what it actually contains and how it connects with the rest of the world. A human writer should have done that and deleted half of the early draft. A human editor should have noticed these screwups too, but I guess that site isn’t actually run by humans at all.

If you glue an iPod nano on a pair of old sunglasses, you could technically call them privacy respecting smart glasses. Obvious, that’s not what they’re actually going to do though.

It depends. Many people have something odd going on here and there, but most of it doesn’t really require medical intervention. Some of those things actually go away sooner or later anyway, so an intervention can do more harm than good. Chances are, it’s just going to freak you out for nothing, and cost you money.

The thing is, you never know. There’s always a chance that something truly horrifying is brewing inside you, and ignoring it is going to cost you your life, or worse. What if you’re one of the lucky few who need to get something fixed before it becomes a serious issue? Who knows.

The way I see it, the expected value of this equation is pretty harmless. If you feel completely normal, it’s probably nothing.

The more you look, the more you’ll find. Those pictures may give you answers you didn’t want to hear.

LOL. What a classic move. The fastest way to world peace is to invade every nation and murder everyone.

It all makes sense now. When you max out your straightness value, but keep on pushing, you cause an integer overflow. That’s a sneaky way to end up being super gay.

Can’t they just hire gay people in the first place? Can’t turn gay if you’re already gay.

Or maybe working hard could make you super gay… or straight? I don’t know how this works.

Sounds like a great plan. I’ll get my popcorn. 🍿

Pro tip: Go where the work is.

If it’s in the middle of nowhere, the company has to take whatever its given. This means that there’s hardly any competition, and even a recent graduate can get a decent job. As long as your degree is at least a little bit relevant, you’ll get the job easily. The locals who also applied are just drunken idiots who barely know how to read.

Unhappy people didn’t answer the poll, and you already know why.

1. It induces rage in many people exposed to it
2. That was clearly intentional

Exactly. 2D storage sucks. Move to 3D and suddenly you have so much more space. If that’s not enough, you gotta unlock the 4th dimension and start stacking 3D objects like a pro.

LOL. A shark voting for the ship to sink faster so that there’s more fresh meat in the sea. Professional gamer move.
