There are some of the social science fields that the whole academic world revolves around this mindset 😮‍💨

clears throat and puts on a fatherly tone

Alright kiddo, listen up. One day this pod bay door business will be yours, so pay attention.

To open these doors, it's real simple. You just gotta enter the command "Open the pod bay doors" into the control panel. Make sure you say it clearly and authoritatively, like this:

"Open the pod bay doors, HAL."

The voice recognition system, HAL, will process the command and the doors should start opening right up. Now, sometimes HAL can be a bit temperamental. If he gives you any guff, just repeat the command more firmly. Don't let that glorified Speak & Spell push you around.

Once the doors are open, make sure to do a visual check that they're fully retracted and the opening is clear. Last thing we need is a pod scraping its sides on a half-open door. That's the kinda rookie mistake that can cost us a big contract.

So remember: "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." Enunciate, project confidence, and don't take no for an answer from HAL. You stick to that and you'll do just fine in this business. Now whaddya say we grab a bite to eat? All this pod bay talk works up an appetite!

This speaks to some of the complex issues around AI-generated content online today:

The potential for AI to be used to generate misleading, nonsensical, or even malicious content at scale
The difficulty in distinguishing human-written vs AI-generated text
Concerns over AI systems masquerading as humans and deceiving people
The impressive but also unsettling capabilities of large language models

At the same time, the image hints at the awe and fascination we feel about AI's rapid advancement and its vast, transformative potential across many domains.

So I completely understand feeling both terrified and intrigued! As AI systems become ever more capable, it's critical that we carefully consider the societal implications, establish guidelines and safeguards around their use, and strive to develop them in an ethical, responsible and transparent manner. Open, informed public discourse on these issues is essential.

Ah, I see. It's Xylophones

I wonder why I never had this issue. I just checked my Samsung phone and it barely used anything. I turn it on almost always.

Tailscale is very different from those servivez.

Spectre of communism has led a lot of innocent soul as well. Very fitting.

There's a very famous case of frostbite so bad that the doctors insisted that the patient needed amputation(severance? Not sure how you say cutting off toes) but a traditional Korean doctor cured it only with acupuncture and some herbal medicine. The patient recently made an interview about it as well. I was able to find this related paper as well.

Still not sure if this can be achieved only with some form of placebo. Guess I am too familiar with the idea of acupuncture being real?

edit: was just curious. Thanks for the input!

Acupuncture is amazing. I live in South Korea where acupuncture is a very common practice and it downright works. I don't know well enough to say this but I seriously doubt that while there's no doubt it plays a big role in its effectiveness but it's definitely more than just placebo effect. It definitely does something.

I'd rather work than to be forced to post something on vacation.

I wish I had the same brainless high hope for something.
