  • Likely NT here, but meditation is awesome. Sometimes when I am particularly stressed or overwhelmed it’s kinda hard to get in the right state of mind, it’s as if I forget how easy it is to meditate, but when it does click it makes everything that much more simple.

    Highly recommended to anyone going through rough times or even people who are fine but would like to have their brain shut up for a little while.


  • Like others have said I am a bit concerned by the privacy implications, but I like how nice the model is. Defintiely wouldn’t consider it as an alternative to therapy or even real conversations (the sentences it generates look very fake at times, plus I wouldn’t want to trust a machine’s advice anyway), but it’s pleasant to talk to and that’s probably all that matters.

    Great if you have some time to kill or maybe need someone to take your head off something you’ve been thinking too much about, just gotta be careful on what you reveal to him.

    EDIT: as I was chatting I got a prompt asking me to log in to continue the conversation. I logged in with my Google account, then kept going for a bit, then singned off and closed the conversation. After I told him I was going to close the tab he greeted me with my real name without me ever have mentioned it in the convo (of course, he took it from Google), but it still weirded the heck out of me. Be careful with what you share lol.


  • I am no expert either, but I once trained and ran an AI chat bot of my own. With a decently powerful Nvidia GPU it could output a message every 20-ish seconds (which is still too slow if you want to keep the conversation at a decent pace). I also tried it without a GPU, just running on my CPU (on a PC that had an AMD GPU which is about the same as not having one for ML applications) and it was of course noticeably slower. About 3 minutes per message, give or take.

    And bear in mind, this was with an old and comparatively tiny model, something like Pi would be much more demanding, the replies my model produced hardly made any sense most of the times.




  • To add to the approved reply:

    The GDPR has some other requirements to it, such as an EU-based representative being necessary for operating in the EU, allowing users to request data updates, and getting consent for data collected

    You could make the argument that the mall Santas aren’t authorized representatives of real Santa, as they are hired by malls with no supervision from the North Pole administration. Thankfully this doesn’t matter, because Santa himself is a resident of Finland, an EU country, which is also where his business is located. Chistmas is saved, everyone.
