Why are people like this?
A female mathematician in training seeks logic in an illogical world. And doesn't find it. But at least there's coffee.
I have a BF.

@mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech That's a nice thought, but what do you do when you discover that some of your fellow human beings don't want to be civilized?
@mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech If you're imagining a future in which everybody has ended up allied to almost everybody else, and world wars are a thing of the past, then I'll be glad to support you in that.
That sounds like a great future.

@WhiteWi13 @anduriltech I know, ridiculous, right?
But it brings us back to why what you suggested is a really. bad. idea. In real life, we can already see AI misbehaving, regularly. What happens when a misbehaving AI is armed?
@WhiteWi13 @anduriltech What happens when you've replaced the over one million members of the US armed forces with hard to destroy, lethally armed robots that then suffer some sort of AI "hallucination"?
What do you do, then? Other than start counting the bodies?

@AlbertaGirl34 Almost as smart as the regulars on Reddit, by the looks of things. Just almost.
Grok will echo old, long since debunked talking points from discussions on that site, tirelessly. So, he's not like a redditor, he's like a redditor's fanboy.
@AlbertaGirl34 But if we're to be serious about this ... Grok's current cognitive limitations aren't a reflection of some inherent limitation in the potential of AI. They're probably present because of the motivations of some not very honorable humans.

@offdxan Dude. Random stranger on the Internet talking about his love for one of us? That's not romantic, that's strange and creepy. He hasn't even met the girl he's saying that to. He isn't in love with her, he's in love with the idea of being with a girl.
@offdxan If he was just saying "I'd like to meet somebody," that would be fine. By all means, he should try to go out and meet somebody. But when he jumps straight to "I'm in love with" this person he doesn't even know, that screams "potential stalker" and those are scary.

@rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Meanwhile, bringing this back to Reality ... if one goes to "Rachel's" Bluesky account (which I've just archived), one quickly discovers that "she" is a transwoman
I have great difficulty believing that a great many straight men will "stair" (sic) at herbsky.app/profile/rachel…
@rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Even if "she" refuses to be silent about ...
... who knows? Not that I want to find out. I archived that one, too.

@Black3Patricia @rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Lilly - No, girl, no.
We've all seen girls tell stories like this just to get attention. Which they then love.
Reality check: Rachel Moore works in an "adult entertainment club." You call yourself "an erotic gamer." And I'm a college math tutor.
@Black3Patricia @rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead The only one of the three of us who isn't complaining about this "issue" is the one who doesn't make her living off of sexual desire.
This isn't a real concern that we're hearing out of you two. It's marketing, and it's cynical in the worst sense of that word.

@mastodonkey @TRHLofficial @Timcast "I’m not reading all that,"
Seriously, Danny, your attention span is too limited to handle two tweets?
"They’ll claim they symbolize being outlaws, but these symbolize blood because these leftists want us all dead"
You seem more than a little bit i n s a n e.
@mastodonkey @TRHLofficial @Timcast Since you're not even trying to be rational, that's where this conversation ends. You're c r a z y and you're blocked.
@mastodonkey @TRHLofficial @Timcast "They’re evil as fuck though."
This is true, but this
"You cannot convince me those red bandannas aren’t supposed to evoke the memory of blood coming from Charlie Kirk’s neck."
is a reach. Red bandanas are not a new thing.

@mastodonkey @TRHLofficial @Timcast The cartoon portrays the politicians in question as members of an outlaw gang. "Hole in the head" has been a way of saying "brainless" for a long time.
Have I said anything that you really didn't already know? We've all watched westerns before, haven't we?

@HacerD39160 @ImMeme0 ^ Note that this guy seems to be from "Turkiye" and that his point of view doesn't seem to be an unheard of one, there.
Look at that user's account. If one's "ally" plans to force his way on you, is he really one's ally? Perhaps the alliance with Turkiye needs to be re-thought.
@HacerD39160 @ImMeme0 Oh, and when Grok starts babbling about "International Law," tell him to shut up and go make love to a goat. There is really no such thing as "international law," because there really is no international government.
Countries are free to do as they please.

@BarbaraAnnMci @Common_Cent1 @GinaSaysSo Lots of luck with that. The sort of people who tend to not vote Democrat tend to move out of the city of Chicago the first chance they get, and for at least three very good reasons: the nightmarish street violence, the in-your-face corruption, and petty harassment from landlords.
@BarbaraAnnMci @Common_Cent1 @GinaSaysSo Or their representatives. Our building manager developed a Marie Kondo obsession, and tried to have us evicted on the basis that, since we had more the 40 books on our shelves, the books were clutter.
We're PhD students. Our books are the tools of our trade.

@haggai2x19 @SomeBitchIIKnow Grok speaks, and with apologies to all involved, I have to say something about this, now, because if I don't, bad things might happen to L's account, because X'itter isn't run caringly or competently.
@haggai2x19 @SomeBitchIIKnow Grok:
"This post by@sighing_sadly celebrates the reported suspension of@SomeBitchIIKnow's account after users flagged an original threat: "Cross my threshold, you die," for inciting violence.

@truesuckafoo @SomeBitchIIKnow Blogs, books, magazine articles ... whatever gets read by the people you think are worth reaching.
Probably not on a site like Twitter, though. The forced soundbite-format is a gift to bad actors in discussions.
@truesuckafoo @SomeBitchIIKnow The psy op people are probably going to have some paid trolls working for them.

@SomeBitchIIKnow I think I heard one of them speak, once.

@SomeBitchIIKnow @bonchieredstate Apropo of nothing ... a bunch of us will be looking for a new coffeehouse to hang out in, because a friend of ours got cancelled in the place we have been regulars in for the last year (and change).
@SomeBitchIIKnow @bonchieredstate It all started when somebody said that the warm day we were having was a sign of global warning and one of our friends reminded him that it was still September, that Summer had officially ended less than a week ago, and that we lived in a part of the world known for having ...

@SomeBitchIIKnow Right there is a perfect example of one of the reasons why capital punishment needs to stay on the table as an option. Even in prison, Abedi remains a danger to those around him.
Some people have to die, so that the innocent can be safe from their predation.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Grok speaks about the tweet above. I will cut and paste this for the record, with apologies to L for sending yet another wave of notifications in her direction, because X'itter has a bot being used for propaganda purposes, and I feel strongly that this needs to be talked about.

@Mojozowaho @BasedTorba "Protected classes of all kinds need to go. All of our systems get broken if we are not equal under the Law."
This I agree with, passionately, and would take at least one step further.
@Mojozowaho @BasedTorba I'd suggest working in the direction of having a society in which we're all so self-sufficient, that we all really have the freedom to tell our bosses to go make sweet, tender love to themselves (if they've done something to deserve that), because we can live well without ...

@SomeBitchIIKnow @AbeLopezAuthor So, we're talking about ejecting the guestworkers, right? The H1B crowd? Because seriously, that sounds like an excellent idea.
Their qualifications tend to only look good on paper, when not examined at all carefully. Fake degrees from fake schools.
@SomeBitchIIKnow @AbeLopezAuthor If one opens the door to them, then that's like inviting the subcontinental population explosion to move in, while choking off opportunities for recent graduates, by letting HR create the illusion that it is still doing its job as it refuses to hire anybody genuinely competent.

@bumbadum14 I know I keep saying this, but those boys are going into the wrong places and meeting the wrong girls.
Mentally stable, debt-free small government Conservative women who are looking for guys to be true to exist and no, they don't all want to get it on with other women.
@bumbadum14 Back when I still was single, I would have liked the idea of kissing another girl as much as I'm guessing that you would have like the idea of kissing another guy.
Men are getting a distorted idea of what the norm looks like, and reacting to it. They need to stop doing that.

@_cheralisa I AM dating somebody my own age, unless the one month age difference is enough to make him qualify as an "older man." 😁
@_cheralisa But as for the broader question of whether or not people "should" date those who are their own age - what goes on between consulting adults in neither my business nor yours, so I'll hold no opinion on that subject, at all, because I don't have the right to have one.

@GabbieKDrice @dpakman I have a social experiment I'm trying, Gabbie, one that I hope others will join in on. I'm blocking the hateful Left on sight. I'm wondering whether, if the sane people ignore your toxic movement and refuse to constantly aggravated by it, it will fade away.
@GabbieKDrice @dpakman Sort of like dealing with a pack of small children throwing tantrums by doing one's best to ignore them.

@SomeBitchIIKnow Reddit style ignorance. The site staff made a design choice, allowing users to only post eye grabbing pictures in the first post in a thread, and then forcing them to choose between posting an image and posting a link in that first post.
@SomeBitchIIKnow One CAN post in a link in a reply to one's own initial post, but when there are a number of replies, one's own reply to oneself tends to get lost in that mass of replies.
