PS back when you were gaming I contemplated picking it back up myself, because you said it did have mental health benefits (viewing it as a kind of counter-balance to gooning) but I ultimately didn't because I was afraid it would get addictive and it would lead in the opposite direction of where I want to go (success).

Yes - while women criticizing men for "irresponsible behavior" on X is obviously overblown and astroturfed anti-masculine propaganda, there is a kernel of truth to it always. Gaming addiction is a big problem for Millennials and Gen Z and women aren't wrong to be disgusted when it interferes with family life and so on. But of course modern women who have bought into the feminist brainwashing just want us to be slaves and not enjoy anything in life so a lot of times their motivations are far more base.

A good number of married men my age are addicted to video games (and sometimes alcohol in tandem). This seems to have been a big vice for millennial men but it seems zoomers might even be more addicted. They go to work and then come home and game - all the time. Even with families they often spend more time gaming than raising their kids. At least one of these got divorced and another one was threatened with divorce. Just wanted to mention some IRL examples from my own experience.

Yes I plan to dig into the fundamentals and mechanics a bit more than the layman because I may have to train models in the future (i.e. from better training data than Reddit for example). But I also advocate just jumping into using LLMs and experimenting as well. Based on recent experience there is a good deal of difference between the models commonly available and the free tier is much more prone to "hallucinating" (fabricating information) - although that can be entertaining at times.

It's coming but the plot twist is they will be androids and the state won't pay for them. Incels will still have to get jobs to be able to afford them.

You know they're down bad when they're hiring Alvin's exes.

What resources are you using to learn about AI, just out of curiosity? We should probably add them to the AI thread on your forum.

I am a Polack but also an American. Does that count?

Interesting thing - in 2016 I had purposely isolated myself to the point that I rarely hung out with friends and mostly did my own thing. It was one of the best years of my life. I did a lot of things and they were all things I wanted to do with no interference. This is how I know Alvin Tan is full of shit when he says solo travel sucks. No it doesn't - it's great ! You literally have time to do and see whatever you want limited only by hours, daylight, etc. I even came up with very clear and specific goals for my life that if I had stuck with them I would be in a better place now. But then 2017 came and I got seduced by my now ex-gf and it derailed everything. When we broke up I had depression again and lost sight of my goals. And yes all my friends now are married and so they pressure me to have a regular GF so I can hang out with them. But why? The only use I would have for that is to start a family but it's a dilemma - I only like cute younger women and none of them want to have children soon. Typically the more educated set of women - i.e. the type that doesn't date homo erectus - don't want kids until 30+, it's in the data. So yes, people will complicate your life needlessly.
