"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.

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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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…
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.

The 7th Dimension
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…
