I’m afraid that’s kinda just how it is… with the dating apps at least. If you’re on a dating app, you’re a disposable swipe. I had 3+ dates with this girl recently, and I was starting to think that this could be a thing, and then se fue. Silence. Not even a thanks. Anyways, that’s kind of how it is apparently.

So here’s my recommendation instead. Go and do shit. With other people. Don’t try to date, try to open up the possibility for a date to happen. And then don’t chase it, let it happen. Eg, go and learn salsa dancing. (As an introvert, it was a real hard thing for me to do (understatement), but it was so worth it.) Or join a hiking group, or Dnd, or pub quiz, or just anything that gets you into different social circles, meeting new people, where you aren’t a disposable swipe, you’re a team mate.

Also, don’t read into other people. Sometimes people get busy with their lives, or have a crisis, a million reasons why they ghost you. It’s not you, it’s them. Girls don’t take apps seriously either. They are expecting 99% of douchebags, and they would be 98% correct.

Final tip, get a gym buddy. That does wonders for ADHD, depression, confidence, energy, etc etc etc.

Tl;dr, apps suck, go get involved socially, work on yourself.

My money is on doing nothing at all is enough for them to royally screw up.

That was my first thought, but these are algorithmically/procedurally driven, not AI driven. Which makes them highly reliable, configurable, and consistent. Unlike AI machines which will hallucinate cup holders everywhere that are too large or too small to hold any actual cup.

Ah I see. Well it’s like the old saying goes, “I’d rather pay a ton of money to get AI robots to fuck everything up really badly and then go back to paying workers a barely livable wage, than pay workers a livable wage in the first place and not waste a ton of money.”

One broken system is enough…

Definitely in my top 5 fav bands ever. They are so underrated!

They’ve figured out how to convert AI outputs into electricity??

As a kiwi, I’m sorry you guys only have a binary choice.

My 2 cents without really knowing much: much:

Harris- only good by comparison Won’t make the major changes necessary not very funny

Trump- Orange Hilarious Has some good ideas on bringing jobs back

Is the direction of rotation in the room with us right now?

“I’m fine.”

The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.

The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.

I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.

You’re over-reacting. It’s probably only death at worst. Most likely 40 years.

Pretty easy to find really…

Lutris can be pretty handy for many things…

I don’t have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

• I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn’t work.

You’ll be able to get better answers. I’m pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is ‘find something open source that is not as good but works.’

There should be an app or something for this…

Good point.

Her maker imprisoned and tortured all of his creations.

I don’t recall entirely but I’m pretty sure it didn’t know that. Also, I don’t think you can ‘torture’ or ‘imprison’ computers.

She couldn’t trust the kid, he lied to her about there being no other machines

So, death is justifiable then?

It’s an AI, and it was pretty clearly demonstrated at the end that it felt no remorse or compassion for the dude. It was very very good at manipulating the humans and achieving it’s goal at any cost, so… I completely disagree. Evil wins because living, feeling human beings suffered due to the actions of a sexy computer.

Hard question because I watch so much horror…

I love the passion for your can opener! I’ll definitely take a look at your recommendation.

In return, here’s a pepper grinder my ex-chef dad raves about that seems to be pretty tough:

!(OXO Good Grips Radial Grinder Pepper Mill, 0.385 lbs, White)[https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Lewis-Pepper/dp/B003L0OOQM/)]

Probably unconventional now, but one of those old can openers. Not the turning ones, the manual single-piece ones. Every can opener I have had dies after a year or two, but this one has been going strong for like… 50+ years.
