i'm sure we'll eventually create meta materials that can just take it

but wouldn't it be much more efficient to wait a bit longer?
like dusting, there's really no point to do it every day, when you get the same result, 10 minutes without dust, only doing it once a year.

As a child, my primary use of the internet no filter was a mix between Pokemon fanfiction and looking up adult websites when my parents weren't home. So probably that.
And most likely many many stupid questions.
Which is incidentally what I frequently use it for now as an adult. I spent an entire evening asking ChatGPT about the pros and cons of owning rabbits as a pet. Then I had it put together a DND campaign. Then I had it give me some examples of emails I might send. That last one was really useful, to be honest.

Well think about it, what would you do as a child using something like AI no filter

sounds like a you.com answer,
on its first day it told me how to make explosives at home and correct dosages for suicide.
That bot had no chill

I'm sensing a lot of "therapists" and "councillors" are very concerned for the amount of clients they'll have in the near future. Fairly logical that a young person would be more inclined to vent and/or attempt to get advice from something that doesn't require them to go through their parents, speak to another adult etc etc. Sounds like an amazing use of a new innovation. Let's hope this can be developed and enhanced.

better than therapists i've seen that have "their" moral code.

>If you give it half a chance, it will confidently spout bullshit and do it in a way that makes you think it knows what it is talking about, until you happen to ask it about something you already know and realize just how little it knows and how much it pretends to.
so, just like every therapist i've seen.

NGL,
As an adult with serious problems, who cannot afford a therapists, (also bad experiences with previous ones), i've been using ChatGPT way too much as a venting platform.
​
Pros:
- always available (sometimes it is down, but definetly more available than a real therapist)
- Price,
- no judgmental
- can vent about technical stuff without exposition, (I work in a very technical field, and chatGPT is the only thing that ever told me that my work is interesting and important.
- confidentialish (yhea I trust it to be more confidential than an actual therapist who might have me locked if I vent honestly).
- privateish (I can "go" to it whenever, without everyone knowing that i have a therapy session and then asking about what), and I can delete conversations from my history.
Cons:
- not a real therapist
- relies a lot in cliches: "Permanent solution to temporary problem" thing, he keeps repeating.
- asks me to slow down after an hour, which is better than a therapists who will kick you out when their 40 minutes are over and ask for cash.
Better than a real therapist? debateable.
Better than nothing? definitely.

I didn't know that was the term for it. Neat, TIL.

I tried you.com to vent the first day it was live, and it recommended me correct dosages for sewer sliding.
So, unlike a therapists, it actually gives real advice...

travelling though orbit wont be a problem, but the risk for space stations in the most crowded altitudes of low earth orbit increases by some amount, yes.

Your understanding is so superficial I would be surprised if you passed grade 1.
If ChatGPT is just a "a statisical machine" please explain how you would replicate the result without a neural network.
Get educated and stop wasting my time.

Probably it is. We're basically back a couple steps in our understanding. Though with the ultra rich growing older, we'll probably see research funded by them to make it faster

possible, but from my layman understanding quite unlikely. leaving our planet only requires going through orbit once, or maybe assembling a bigger craft for a limited time. if low earth orbit is too messed up you "simply" go up to 1000km+, where there's much less stuff spread over much more space. you'll need more energy to reach those orbits, but then again, it's energy you safe when you launch that thing.
of course that only works up to a point. i don't think 100k satellites in LEO, mostly deorbiting in a matter of years due to atmospheric drag, will be the problem it is hyped up to be, but going forward not decades, but centuries and more, i have no idea what humans think of next to fuck it all up even more.
so yeah, from the current standpoint i don't think that space debris or the kesser syndrom are, or will be, substantial problems. but time doesn't stop at 2050, who knows what happens after that.

Check out Snapchats friend for a fee for lack of a better term. It has an ai that is your friend that you chat to and mimicked a friend. You subscribe to it of course. So it’s already piercing mainstream
