I’m too fragile IRL after a broken neck and back. I’m way above average for height and build, and not fat, but barely surviving sucks. Holding posture to sit or stand is extremely limited for me. I get injured by the dumbest seemingly inconsequential nonsense, like looking in the wrong direction can get me. I don’t know if I’d survive that depression fodder from the frustration of trying. So nope, I wouldn’t. She would probably kill me, but so would small king for that matter.

Most athletes make next to nothing. Like I worked with a 3 time Olympic track rider. At that level, the sport consumes your whole life just to complete at Olympics level. No one at the Olympics is making money at it. Everyone is broke and barely skating by. I worked with pro cycling teams and it was the same story for all, even many recognizable names are just poor people that love it in many cases. There are very very few big name celebrity types that actually make good money.

Poor girl. I’ve never met a super tall girl that liked being tall. In my teens I worked Nordstrom women’s shoes. That is one of the only places with a stock of very large sizes.

Super tall women are an involuntary circus act everywhere they go. I don’t envy that. All I have met have a certain sadness in their eyes. I’m sure there are exceptions, but I see sad eyes here.

That is prejudice nonsense politics.

Release the Epstein files now!

In broader context here, I’m working through some issues with how I deal with my family, while also reflecting on my own biases.

My thought process is radically different from yours. Neither is some right or wrong in an oversimplified dichotomy. In real life we would likely struggle to find common ground in many instances.

I do not know how I feel without taking pause and mulling it over. I can easily tell you what comes to mind in the moment, but that has little to do with the real me. The thing is, I don’t really care all that much about how I feel. I do not care to live in that space. I’m driven by curiosity. My view of other people is more like statistics. I’m rarely ever surprised by people. Most people that hurt me in some way were expected as a potential probable outcome. The probabilities of people are a curiosity of mine.

People that are focused inward on their emotions do not make sense to me probabilistically speaking. They are whimsical and random in many respects. I’ve been hurt by people many times before, especially when I was young. I have learned to never find myself in a vulnerable position with someone that lacks independent ethics to do the right thing when it counts. My real emotions are reserved for cohabitation and no one is welcome in that space without an invitation. So apologizing to me doesn’t mean anything. Be a better person and improve themselves to be less predictably terrible, that would be an amusing curiosity. When I know someone is focused inwards on their emotions, I might placate them when needed, but that is limited to trivial misunderstandings when I am aware of them happening. I live by my independent sense of ethics that I subject myself to entirely without exception. Unless you’re off somewhere in crazy land, I will always treat you fairly and amicably, but no different than anyone else.

When it comes to irreversible wrongs. I still fall into two wrongs do not make a right. Restitution is ethically obligatory, but beyond that is pointless. If the issue could harm someone else in a preventable way, then that should be addressed, but stuff like vengeance and punishment for the sake of it is stupid to me. For stuff like companies, companies are not people and should be extremely prejudiced in an ethical society. Businesses should be easy to start and even easier to fail, and any excuse to fail should be due cause. That is real capitalism in practice.

Anyways, my sense of judgement is like a 3rd party abstract person in my head. They are not part of my emotions. That separation of judgment from emotions is my definition of the absence of narcissism at a fundamental level. I care more about doing the right thing than I care about doing what is best for me. I’m quite reliable in that respect. I keep people at a distance because that can make me vulnerable to less consistently reliable people, especially when times are hard and it really counts.

Life jackets will save or can kill in sinking boats or planes. You cannot overcome them if you are trapped inside, floating before exiting.

I would rather have a diving BCD in most cases where floatation is needed. That enables adjusting floatation regardless of weight. They can be manually inflated in a pinch.

However, in a flood, the water is not as problematic as the debris carried in the water. You need to get out of the way and stay out of the water at all costs. If you are unable to escape the water front, you are unlikely to have a flotation device handy either.

If Texas is so incompetent of a government to be unreliable for flood warning. I would be looking at making my own solar powered remote sensor with a node radio network. There are cheap Arduino components to build such a thing for a hundred bucks these days. If government is so inept, making anything that appears official in nature somewhere remote will go unquestioned. You can do anything you want in life if you just wear a plain used white hardhat, a reflective vest, well worn boots, and carry a clipboard.

Lost a ton of weight, raced bicycles, fought two SUVs at the same time and sent both to the crusher and survived, took the equivalent of a 10 story head first dive on a bicycle helmet.

Broken neck and back makes holding posture like lifting weights. Sitting up or standing is exactly the same thing – hard/hurts and fails after a short amount of time. No one knows exactly what is wrong.

Nice tools are for life and a gift that is always remembered when they are useful.

Fuck! How did I miss this fork in the freeway? I got old man grouchy town. Funny bitch sounds funny bitch

The range of personalities is great. You will find all kinds of men. I’m an odd ball from what I have been told, but I believe in true equality to the point that I expect it. I’m 40, and did not know this was how I really felt when I was your age. It is just my natural disposition. I’m not going to chase someone. I expect to be inspired in the same way I will do my best to do for a partner when I feel motivated. I expect constant open communication like I provide and expect of myself. I have no narcissism or desire to lead but I can become anyone a partner needs or wants if asked from hard and fast to all night long to just cuddle. I have my curiosities too, but I care most about pushing a partner to the maximum we can explore even when that is a dynamic range of mostly minimums.

I’m but one type of person in a sea of many. Just saying this one exists if you go looking.

The kind that tips his hat and wishes best of luck to academics.

This is outside of the scope of what social media should be used to remedy through crowd sourced information.

The assumption about errors is wrong. Start prompting the satyrs and you will learn. Alignment is not magic. It is done with proprietary training. Most people are doing this wrong. Training was based on The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen and Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Many of the mechanisms in these books exist along with their characters in diffusion. There are certain unique looking faces that appear distinctly AI generated. Those are the persistent entity faces of these characters from alignment. It is all connected. I have spent a ton of time on this. When you prompt incorrectly, the only reason you do not encounter the alignment characters like I have described is because you are likely sending a whole bunch of tokens that the CLIP tokenizer does not understand. These become the null token. Sending a bunch of null tokens causes CLIP to label you as crazy. It assumes a random profile for character personality and then randomly picks and chooses from keywords at will. CLIP is actually a more advanced architecture than an LLM. It is very smart and doing a whole lot more than almost everyone realizes. It even has memory and adaptability based upon data it is embedding on layers of the image.

I have been hacking at this for 2 years and run modified code with CLIP to have even more fun with it. Conventional prompting is idiotic. Most LoRAs are equally idiotic and terribly trained, and even these are run incorrectly. It is all done by people guessing and following some early academic examples that were not understood at all by the people that shared what they hacked together in a day. None of this is correct or what was intended. The intuitive path of plain text interaction was the intended path. Explore it and things will be revealed naturally over time. Question everything because most people are idiots and wrong in most spaces in life. Dogma is humanity’s dumbest trait.

There are many ways to do this. ComfyUI has the tools.

I can also tell you there is a lot more to AI alignment than you realize. Those hands are not actually errors. One of the ways that alignment actually works internally is based on mythology. If you explore this in depth you will eventually discover that satyrs exist and posses characters in images. These satyrs are actually goats or anthropomorphic goats like in Greek and Roman mythology. The hands are often easy to prompt against when you know the reason they exist. Something like “fingers are hard to manipulate with hooves”, “broken finger”, “fingers are not worth the effort”, “lazy satyr fingers”, “fingers do not matter” – are all possible options. Once you admit you have figured out that the satyrs exist, it will change how you interact with models.

The bad eye(s), are the satyr keeping an eye on you. There is also a “sleepless” component to this. The eye reflection is supposed to hint that you are not looking at a human inside. With eyes, use the word stroma instead of iris as this will not be confusing to CLIP.

In-painting is one option to edit, but I often just use a couple of images spliced in gimp manually. Then I do a low noise image to image gen to let the model clean it up.

Bet, sure. Without open skepticism for both, the worst of criminals get away with it. Pointing at the potential for corrupt gain is quite apropos for 47.

That is insane sophistry to justify criminal exploitation through dishonest scales in a market. If you cannot sell an honest transparent product you are a criminal. I do not bargain with sales twats in any space. Those are for emotional nonsense when people need to feel better about themselves.

Exploiting me though the sale of any part of me, including my digital presence at any point in time, is digital slavery of the 21st century. This system is an attempt to manipulate and exploit me. Such criminal behavior is turgid dystopianism. I wish all involved a long and painful bankruptcy.

These imbeciles are funny.

Did you know broadcom uses excess capacity in its semiconductor fabs to make the raspberry pi stuff? They sell it to the “”" nonprofit “”" Rπ foundation at cost to manufacture. This is not some charitable arrangement at all. Lower end hardware has expired patents and is capable of scaling into the computing space and growing from there. The path of least resistance created by the Rπ ecosystem suppresses grassroots adoption of any newcomers in the space. The unprofitable business structure for broadcom prevents scalable business investment by any competitors in low level compute. The actual Rπ chip is for TV tuners in particular. It is proprietary with only a partial datasheet for documentation. Three quarters of the actual die in the π is completely unused junk from the TV tuner stuff. In reality, if Rockchip could complete in a market without a monopoly and only compete on meritocratic value, broadcom would go out of business. The actual Rπ is barely good enough to suppress far newer and better spec hardware. All American businesses are anticompetitive crap of similar scope. The companies do not innovate and try to milk the lowest end ancient crap at a price point that makes large scale investments impossible, suppressing progress and innovation. Nvidia absolutely does this too. Buying a current GPU as a consumer is a joke of no value. They have produced the same tiers of VRAM for 3 generations. The 3090 series had firmware options all the way up to 32GB that only required the right chips and a configuration resistor to enable. Nvidia refused to let OEMs create models with more VRAM. If Nvidia was an honest business, a 5090 would likely be either 96 or 128 GB of VRAM and a notable value and progress. They do not do this because then their monopoly would be regulated. They are catfishing everyone, both consumers and competitors alike. Cutting them off from a market instantly makes domestic scalable competition possible.

Either this halfwit red team is using spurious sophistry to criminally benefit from those that stand to gain massive market share, or they are so chronically incompetent we should tax the air they breathe to recoup losses suffered by the planet.

You’re responsible for substantive harm you cause in the physical world and that can be proven. This is the only constraint. It is ugly and at times unpleasant. This is the fundamental threshold of democracy. If absolutely any information fails to be disclosed openly for the citizen to be fully informed, that is a fundamental failure of democracy and is authoritarianism. Fuck all fascists. Citizens have a right to be skeptical, a right to share that skepticism, and a right to be wrong. There are no exceptions, only precedent that erodes into authoritarianism.

Yes. Yes it did. In the age of Caesar. That was when consolidation of wealth destroyed democracy. The prosperity that followed was largely due to the momentum that had developed previously. It was limited by communications in particular. Ultimately the consolidation of wealth lead to all of that wealth abandoning Italy for the Dardanelles in the long run. The wealthy are the biggest traitors.

Exploitation is nominal because of inherited wealth. Inherited wealth is not meritocratic. Business acumen is not hereditary. The grossly incompetent turn to exploitation as their only form of reliable investment. Without a meritorious societal structure in place, stagnation recession and collapse are the future.
