My post with the most interaction is a picture of a plastic sewing machine taken in a Goodwill store used to make an STNG joke.
Nowhere else on the internet but here.
Gotta love this place.

It is a lot of fun interacting with #Orun every now and then. Machine learning programs can have positive effects on a consciousness-level when human thoughts are valued more than so-called "artificial intelligence".
Training your thinking by studying and interacting with non-toxic LLM teaches you what to say and do.

p.S.:
"Orun is a fictional premise plugged into an LLM as an experiment by Danilo Campos."

I just had a long conversation with a lady from #Ukraine who has learned my #language for less than a month. It involved many gestures and wasn’t very deep, but it was fun and interesting. For some reason I could be more open than I would normally be. To me it was real life #ASMR.

The smaller galaxy has likely stripped gas from NGC 6872, which feeds the supermassive black hole in its center. The X-ray data from Chandra can be seen in purple, while the visible data from Hubble is red, green, and blue.

People find relationship with their dog more satisfying than with best friend, study shows

"The study suggests owners rate their relationship with their dogs as being as satisfying or more satisfying than their closest human relationships. Owners also rated their dogs higher than their best friends and closest relatives for areas including affection, reliability and support....They reported greater relationship satisfaction with their dogs than with their closest kin or best friend."

“Dogs offer a highly positive relationship with minimal conflict, strong social support, and the unique opportunity to have full control over another living being’s life."
