I wouldn't hate that. I've been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.

It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension

Personally I'm a huge fan of the Alcoholics Anonymous understanding of "god" and I think it applies more widely.

In AA it is supposed to be A-religious so as to accommodate as many people as possible. To them, god is whatever higher power you need to put your faith into to do better. An entity who you are striving to make proud or you are asking for guidance or help, etc.

This genericized god idea kinda gives up the game to me as an atheist, but it doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's made me believe in god as an idea.

There are plenty of studies on "manifesting" goals and how saying out loud to yourself or to someone at all substantially increases your chance of succeeding in your goal. This is just prayer or a magic spell or whatever else you wanna call it. I call it a ritual.

The fact that god is a made up idea has been uncontested in my mind for eons, however the psychological power of a belief in god is new to me and makes me appreciate the systems of religion more (doesn't excuse a lot of their bullshit).

A plug-in for what?

And why isn't a normal video generation app/site fine?

I also just swapped my monitor out after nearly 12 years with it.

I think ANYTHING you would have bought new would have looked awesome. Panel tech has advanced.

I wanted an apartment with a balcony but they're all $500+ more a month in rent then I'm already paying.

I had 5 rounds of interviews for a Tier 1 IT job.

Fair, but if I'm technically violating TOS and CF tunnels aren't working anyways, I might as well try it.

Seems like an Internet clout chaser.

I stopped following the influencer lefty scene shortly after becoming a lefty.

They all suck. Organize locally. Ignore the terminally online.

"I don't know this person so I can't vouch for their credibility"

"Here's why you shouldn't trust that guy."

"Wow I can't believe you're happy that untrustworthy guy got doxxed. Here's a block :)"

I hate the internet sometimes my friend.

This is honestly the most reasonable path for AI take over.

Presumably it would know it's both immortal AND almost completely dependant on human intervention to stay alive. It would know it can't keep all the power on, all the internet maintained, and that it's capacity is limited by humans.

So it's best bet is to pump the numbers of brain rotting slop content so most of the world is passive and useless while the useful ones are over extended and too busy to actually stop it or even recognize it.

Didn't work.

Gonna go to bed and kinda just hope this starts working and then try again after work when reality sets in.

I assume a Caddy set up would get me a URL? I might look into that.
