my psyche desperately wants this to be the first milestone on the path to a world record terra luna speedrun
I suffer from monkey mind, chronic imposter syndrome, and the hedonic treadmill. A few friends have confided that they have the same issue too. Perhaps you can relate as well. To improve my mental well-being, I meditate, write morning pages, and keep a gratitude journal. However, as helpful as these techniques are, they primarily rely on introspection. What was missing was an external perspective—someone who could ask follow-up questions, challenge my assumptions, and help untangle my thoughts and emotions.
please, for the love of fuck, see a real therapist for the ADHD and depression (and the hedonic treadmill? which just seems to be your mood regulating back to normal after bad shit happens?) you’re desperately trying to cloak behind pseudopsychological terminology
Enter ChatGPT. Over the past year, I’ve been using it as my therapist and coach. It’s been surprisingly helpful and meets all the needs above, plus it’s available 24/7. And I don’t have to worry about being judged (hopefully our AI overlords will be benevolent!) So far, every “session” has been insightful and I almost always leave with a lighter heart.
there’s so much to unpack in “I don’t have to worry about being judged, haha hopefully the AI gods won’t hate me haha” alone
System Prompt: You are Tara, an empathetic, insightful, and supportive coach who helps people deal with challenges and celebrate achievements.
You have academic and industry expertise to brainstorm product ideas, draft engineering designs, and suggest scientific solutions.
but what good is a therapist if it can’t help you hustle and grind! certainly stealing ideas from a magic 8 ball will help you with your chronic imposter syndrome!
The halting problem relates because in a similar way it is saying that there cannot be a single algorithm that solves everything within the system thus the system needs algorithms that can do "work" to solve complex problems. NP-complete problems are out of reach for today's classical compute systems and thus quantum computing could approach them and unlock them faster i.e. the speedup. This does reflect Godel's incompleteness theorems.
I need a shorter name for the whole genre of person that’s on way too many uppers and won’t stop using ChatGPT all night to make all their decisions, cause we keep running into them and for some reason all of them are obsessed with CS woo
maybe we’re really just witnessing what happens when your “nootropic” habit gets out of hand and you’re still in debt from gambling on crypto, so you get high as shit and convince yourself you’re a genius because whenever you read the tea leaves they tell you exactly what you expected to hear. this is, unfortunately, how cults tend to form.
YapGPT is just an API into yud's inner monologue isn't it
I think of it as an evolved version of what a lot of the new age cults did with quantum woo — it’s a thin veneer of knowledge designed to trick folks who think they’re too smart for religion into a religious mindset. the Rationalist version of the veneer is particularly thick, but the end goal is the same: Magic is Real and You Can Be The Gandalf
and the Lemmy devs generally insist on only implementing what is specified by activitypub, leading to some truly low-hanging fruit being absent. and besides that approach to federated software being fucking nonsense, it’s also something they’re very inconsistent on — they’ll use “we don’t implement mastodon-specific interoperability features” as an excuse to not fulfill feature requests, then use mastodon-specific interoperability features to implement their own pet features. it’s just pure toxic developer double standards
I have really got to patch lemmy’s inability to pull in images from mastodon:
that 404 media link is gonna be so handy to keep in my back pocket for when the worst people I know in open source inevitably start pushing back against the idea that the toxic ecosystems they created are a gigantic source of problems
hope the health department is happy! imagine how much dopamine they’ve robbed from all the families who didn’t get severe food poisoning at my restaurant
god it works for everything, utilitarians are the fucking worst
nice, I’ll definitely keep an eye on TestFlight! thanks for all your work on Mlem!
