From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone’s future behavior is their past behavior.

When google asked if I wanted to try Gemini I gave it a try and the first time I asked it to navigate home, something I use assistant for almost daily, it said it can’t access this feature but we can chat about navigating home instead - fuck that!
Even though I switched back to assistant it’s still getting dumber and losing functionality - yesterday is asked it to add something to my grocery list(in keep) and it put it on the wrong list, told me the list I wanted doesn’t exist, then asked if I wanted to create the list and then told me it can’t create it because it already exists.
I’ve talk to more logical toddlers!
The first wedding I ever attended was my own…and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn’t get or were already married my entire life.
Still never been to a birth or a funeral.
Friends girlfriend lent me her hiking shoes when I picked him up to go hiking having forgotten mine.
Payment was down at a hardware store and the manager just let me walk out with the $7 of screws I needed to finish my project that day
I’ve never tried to have what I would call a conversation, but I use it as a tool for both fixing/improving writing and for writing basic scripts in autohotkey, which it’s fairly good at.
It’s language models are good for removing the emotional work from customer service - either giving bad news in a very detached professional way or being polite and professional when what I want is to call someone a fartknocker.
You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).
I’ve had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.
One that bugs me a lot that I noticed just in the last 5 years or so is over pronouncing the T in words like celebrity and community - yes it’s spelled with a T but it’s not fully voiced like you’re saying the word Tea. I noticed it first on YouTube and now in some audiobooks and even the occasional coworker.
I work for a company that specializes in ergonomic work setups and the OTs recommend Ergocentric chairs at least 90% of the time.
They’re expensive, but if you are having health issues due to sitting then your employer has a “duty to accommodate” to get you a better setup.
We also often recommend sit-stand desks because too comfy of a chair can just cause different problems from lack of movement.
I get these often and I wouldn’t define them as third person but more “non-person”. To me first person dreams are where I’m watching it through my eyes and Thurs person would be watching myself as I do things (like third person video games). Not even being in the dream, just a mind movie as you called it, seems like another level removed.
I wonder how much the amount of movies and video games around these days has changed this - whether dreams in the past would have only been first person because that’s the only thing people had experienced.
It depends whether I can somehow go back to the body of a 20 year old but keep my current 40 year old brain. I’m not going to pretend the majority of my improvements in patience, empathy, humility, work ethic and dgaf-ness are me consciously maturing instead of improvements in brain chemistry.
I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words “left” and “right” but trying to block everything else political.
What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don’t speak (usually) German.
