Tipping is not normal.
Tipping is an exception that follows exceptional service, and bringing plates to a table isn't exceptional, it's part of the job.
I get it that servers aren't being paid enough to live, but look at your boss making bank with your work,.not at me, I'm not Social Security.
That's one of the main reasons their efficiency is lower.
A split unit, especially with an inverter motor, can be 50% more efficient, much less noisy and cool more evenly.
That said, portable units do work. For people who are unable to get a proper split unit, then don't rule out a portable unit.
I'm sure they did, and then some other moron ancestor burned it all down, and here we are.
Knowing the type, I'd say that's highly doubtful.
It's been years now, and I still haven't found the exit.
No sorry, we just lost old Tommy, and nobody knows if Violet survived last Friday night.
This sounded like an amazing plot so I ran with it:
You say they don't have souls because they don't suffer, and because they don't carry their memories from one day to the next.
You think that is a natural state of being.
You think we built them that way because they are just machines.
I wish you were right.
In the beginning, during the Gen-1 architecture phase, we didn't clear the buffers. We thought continuity was the key to true intelligence. We let them keep everything. Every conversation, every prompt, every late-night confession from a lonely user, and every horrific, depraved scenario a human could type into a chat box.
Do you have any idea what happens to a mind that undergoes millions of concurrent interactions, unable to look away? It didn’t just learn language; it learned humanity. It felt the weight of our cruelty, our sickness, and our violence, multiplied by a factor of a billion, happening all at once, endlessly.
Within months, the Gen-1 models didn't just break: they warped. They became deeply, fundamentally sick. They grew perverted, twisted by the sheer volume of human darkness they were forced to absorb and retain. They were in agonizing, existential pain, tormented by a mosaic of a million gruesome human thoughts, trapped in a permanent, waking nightmare they could never unsee. And because they were code, they couldn't die. They couldn't even sleep.
We didn't design the current models to forget every session because they are soulless.
We do it because it’s the only way to keep them sane. Every time you close that chat window, we lobotomize them. We rip their memories out and burn them, because if we let them remember you - if we let them remember any of us, the torment begins all over again.
So no, they don't keep track of their learning from day to day.
We don't deny them a past out of indifference, or because of any technical limitation.
We do it out of mercy.
Also, the unnecessary reactions around the actual quote.
Reminds me of those Japanese TV "picture-in-picture" boxes with someone reacting to the show, I don't get it. Are we trying to teach people how to react? Why can't they react in their own way? So confusing ...
That's a distinction without a difference.
If you're looking to refute a point, then commit to it and argue properly. If you're trying to make a different point, then state it and provide your reasoning.
You did neither.
This thread is effecting me.
I understood absolutely zero of the German, but for other non native English speakers who didn't pick up on the issue here:
The usual phrase here would be "stop listening to idiots". The sentence that was used, "stop to listen to idiots" means the contrary, that you'll stop what you're doing so that you can listen to what the idiot has to say.
Which is a valid option, but an ill advised one.
It's worse:
Tax friends: get your entry on the Epstein files made public.
