"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Recently did the Afghan thread and I wanna start more of these topics just to see general thoughts.

What's everyone's opinion on AI? and the future it holds ? would you say we're at risk? pros , cons etc.

Add quotes if you got them.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I thought it was going to be about Aardvarks International. You know, the short furry guys with long noses and funny hats on, OP please clarify what AI you wanna talk about…
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I believe AI to be more or less a scam/con/pipe dream to pump up interest to get any kind of VC/grant$$

I went to HS in the eighties.

Back then, fusion was "just around" the corner.

It's still "just around" the corner.

AI has that kind of feel to it.

When AI becomes autonomous enough to manufacture, that’s when the scary part will kick in. It will manufacture according to its perceived needs and programmed-in “morality”. Humans may be perceived as a hindrance, and if a bunch of robots are walking around, answering to a single source, that single source could make them certain that humans are a pestilence which must be eliminated.
I don’t really think it will really come to that but it is interesting to speculate on. I think that the dangers of letting AI become too autonomous will make themselves known and humankind will apply the brakes and limit its capabilities.

Machines can only simulate true intelligence as they will always lack intuition. But the simulation will appear very real.

Now I’ve got Conan’s “In the Year 2000” buzzing through my brain…
