Beefy dude with hairy armpits, who also happens to wear LGBT underwear? How about “Bear”?

NTA but I think it’s worth trying to steel-man (or steel-woman) her point.

I can imagine that part of the motivation is to try and use ChatGPT to actually learn from the previous interaction. Let’s leave the LLM out of the equation for a moment: Imagine that after an argument, your partner would go and do lots of research, one or more of things like:

• read several books focusing on social interactions (non-fiction or fiction or even other forms of art),
• talk in-depth to several experienced therapist and/or psychology researchers and neuroscientists (with varying viewpoints),
• perform several scientific studies on various details of interactions, including relevant physiological factors, Then after doing this ungodly amount of research, she would go back and present her findings back to you, in hopes that you will both learn from this.

Obviously no one can actually do that, but some people might – for good reason of curiosity and self-improvement – feel motivated to do that. So one could think of the OP’s partner’s behavior like a replacement of that research.

That said, even if LLM’s weren’t unreliable, hallucinating and poisoned with junk information, or even if she was magically able to do all that without LLM and with super-human level of scientific accuracy and bias protection, it would … still be a bad move. She would still be the asshole, because OP was not involved in all that research. OP had no say in the process of formulating the problem, let alone in the process of discovering the “answer”.

Even from the most nerdy, “hyper-rational” standpoint: The research would be still an ivory tower research, and assuming that it is applicable in the real world like that is arrogant: it fails to admit the limitations of the researcher.

Along with other things said here, people tend to “forget” that there’s a real person on the other end.

I vaguely recall Nicholas Christakis talking about a study they made, where they created a bot which would simply remind people of the fact that there’s a real person on the other end, and they found that it would help. (That study was done in some university platform and is centuries old in internet time, though. I think he spoke about it about 6 years ago on podcast with Sam Harris.)

I don’t have experience with Twitter or Mastodon but it reminds me of time when I quit drinking.

When I quit drinking and tried to stay around people I used to drink with, I realized really fast how pointless this “engagement” (really just two people speaking past each other, and feeling like they have deep conversation) is. It’s almost insulting what a waste of effort such an “engagement” can be.

…still… no idea…

ALL KINDS OF SUFFERING ARE MERGE CONFLICTS

GIT IS OUR MIRROR

REBASE IS HEAVEN

Honestly I prefer saying “Good Day” in Czech as well (that’s the most abundant one used here).

At some point I realized that the whole thing has silent “I wish you”, which also means that if I say “Dobrý den” (==“Good day”) I’m actually being more generous. So correcting me to “Dobrý večer” (== “Good evening”) because it’s 7 PM or whatever is actually not just petty but also kind of a dick move.

(Edit: I also realize that my explanation is probably the pinnacle of pettiness, with just a little pinch of dickmoveines on top…)

Is it Satan, though? Looks like a just a common devil. He would probably just try to talk you into some dumb contract and fail in an amusing way. No racism, no shit talking, no being asshole, kind of a polite guy.

OK, maybe slight smell of burned sulfur but that would be it.

Easily 3, looks like The Number Devil to me.

So it’s the window—that is, the open space within the car which has the fuel cap on one side and exhaust pipe on the other—what makes it run.

Edit: Please don’t try to make house run by pouring gas into one of its window.

You don’t know that houses can’t move. Absence of a proof does not imply impossibility.

Sounds ridiculous (esp. for windows / houses) but I think it actually shows where Occam’s Razor comes to the rescue: When deciding what to believe, you should consider how many assumptions either model of the world would have to include in order to explain your observations.

Turns you don’t need to look for indisputable mathematically rigorous proofs, you just need to find the best model.

OT, but as a non-native English speaker, what would you say in a greeting like that if it was, say, 1:00 AM?

What would you say, “Good _____”?

Doesn’t “Good night” come with a strong connotation of leaving and going to sleep? (Or expecting the other side to do so?)

(I’m from Czech Republic and we just don’t have such term.)

Maybe you’re just tired or distracted. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

I do that kind of “dumb 360° mistakes” all the time, especially when I’m underslept. (See? I just made another one! I should have said 180!)

• When the hero comes into the tomb, I want it to be dead first, no faffing about with boss fight (which they always win) BS.
• I like the musical nature of their bones.
• I already am one, sort of…

“Banana apocalypse” my ass, I’m not a banana.

Call me when bananas start falling from the sky, oceans turn into banana juice, and the Son of Banana returns.

Think of it as you and your dog working on shifts.

When your dog works, you don’t have to, but now it’s your turn.
