Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).

If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.

It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.

May as well it’s not like they’ll be paying for many impressions.

I think I’ve heard about enough of experts predicting the future lately.

I signed up, out of curiosity but I don’t have any friends there that I know about. Kinda like Lemmy, but Lemmy but works great for not having friends.

Now that’s just a signal for training reinforcement

This is small potatoes but pretty often I ride my motorcycle to go to green spaces to go for a run. Which means people sometimes see me step off my bike and just start taking off my pants and stuff. (Spoiler: I’m wearing running gear underneath my protective gear.)

I think it’s because people want patterns to exist even where they don’t. But this one is extra sensitive. The declaration becomes even less interesting in non-base-ten systems. I’m not even sure why 225 would be intuitive to anybody. I guess that’s what makes it a shit post.

It’s alright, it’s art. You can’t expect it to reach everyone the same way.

Once a day, think of one simple thing that a depressed person would not do. Do that. For some examples:

• Take even the shortest walk around the neighborhood.
• Read just ten pages of any book.

Also, think of something that you do especially when depressed, and avoid doing it. For some examples:

• Don’t watch TV
• Don’t scroll on social media

Sometimes habits become compulsive, you can do a lot for yourself by adding even a small amount of friction to doing those things. For some examples:

• When I notice that I go through periods of poor sleep due to habitually reaching for my phone, I might remove the charger from my phone and put it in a living area and charge it there at night. I might prepare 8 hours of podcasts and connect my Bluetooth before bed so I can have something to take my mind off things in case wake up or cannot sleep.
• Simply logout of social media sites, so that I’m forced to take a deliberate action to log back in to start doom scrolling again.

For more proactive maintenance things I try to do, which are important to establish when I’m mentally in a good place, I might make a weekly list of happy chores, like make sure I talk to a family member, make sure I talk to a friend, make sure I actually see someone in person, or play a video game in a way that I’m making progress at it, or spend 10 minutes practicing an instrument.

You need to exploit your good times to establish patterns of good habits for your hard times.

This smells like ego projection. These are tools for jobs, they don’t have to compete.

And I suppose he’s a doctor now.

What is, standing or sitting?

Now I lay me down to pee…

We don’t normally talk about this!

We should though! We should just not be shit bags about it. Sharing & seeking info rather than having a weird chauvinistic view on how pee exits bodies.

one stall

🤨

Things are contextual. “Does sit to pee” does not equate “always sits to pee”.

I love you

I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I’m also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.
