Thanks! I’ve stopped using Aliexpress after my credit card being stolen a couple of times. I can’t prove it but they were both recently after a purchase from them and hasn’t happened since I stopped. And it takes forever to ship.

For sure. They’ve definitely crippled us with convenience and pricing.

Got it. Thanks! Is there an Amazon alternative? Something that has a lot of variety of products, fast shipping, and isn’t overpriced? I try to go to individual retailers but you end up paying multiple shipping fees, and shipping takes a long time. Often brick and mortar stores don’t care specific items I need either.

Thanks! So they threaten not to sell the product if the supplier doesn’t raise the price?

“take pictures of your food or drinks”

How do you know they were even taking pics of real food before? It has always been fake.

Can we get a TLDW?

Never stops Trump from doing what he wants. You can’t play by the rules when nobody else is.

Yeah but this clear evidence

He’s clearly confirming that the market can be manipulated.

Ah I was thinking no way to tell why it’s funny verbally

I was only more tired in early 20’s cuz I was getting fucked up and staying up late and then having to go to work early. Being a parent is involuntary tiredness. You can’t say, I think I’m gonna skip going out this weekend and get some good sleep. You’re just at the mercy of the child. And having a newborn is equally if not more tiring. Even when I was working two jobs I don’t think I was as tired. Probably age plays a factor too.

Yeah. I was like, if you don’t get it from the second comment you’re just not gonna get it.

EDIT: I was pretending to get it but I get it now and I guess the last comment is trolling?

And then people blame “terrorists” for attacking the US and wonder why they would do that. I think US is trying to push Iran to get the green light to pull an Afghanistan or something they’ve done so many times before.

What does that mean? US military infrastructure or all Iranian infrastructure? Must be the former, right?

Maybe they know something we don’t? AI data centers making electricity scarce/more expensive?

Why not tax addictive features? Like a sin tax.

Interesting theory. I’d be surprised if Google started charging for their AI results. Too much free training data and they can afford to keep models running for the masses. They’re not solely an AI company. At the worst, these AI companies get swallowed up by bigger companies that can keep running even if AI is not profitable, which it is in some cases.

Hahah that’s such a strangely specific “milestone” to be thinking about. That somebody tells you you’re attractive and that you may not be attracted to them?

Maybe you just need to date more. There’s no shortage of people who you will find unattractive and I’m sure some of them will find you attractive.

But ask why that’s important to you and why you think of that as a milestone. Try 5 why’s. Go deeper. Then you’ll have your answer.

I can understand though that a milestone might be validation from society so you can move on to not caring about what people think because you know that, in this case, you’re attractive.

Just post your pictures online somewhere and ask people. You’ll get some validation and some rejection.

Sorry times are tough. Hoping you get through this chapter quickly, but it is just a chapter in your longer, beautiful story.

Maybe that’s just you but millions of people are interfacing with LLMs every day as a replacement to a traditional search engine. I don’t see that changing. Either way, sounds like you are agreeing that AI will not go away entirely. That would be a silly thing to say.

It’ll also go dormant as LLMs are only one AI tech. Other AI tech will be developing while supporting infrastructure grows until we have another boom. World models for example and JEPA. That’s why Meta is pushing AI glasses. They need training data.
