Cas I fucked up

We got drunk with friends

I literally told Hannah I am in love with her repeatedly and she kept rejecting me and I was so drunk I vomited and I literally am so embarrassed, we are still friends but it's clear she doesn't like me at all and I just get embarrassed, I am trying to move on

Any suggestions? Bc I am in my exam year, and I can't afford to have a lover, and if I am left without an adultier adult is with me I will probably find a new person to get obsessed and potentially ruin myself again

Hi <3

Well as someone who has also said/done some pretty mortifying things while drunk (I sang a love song to someone I was hooking up with once), just know that the embarrassment wears off with time. it happens to everyone, and it's a painful reminder to pace yourself when drinking. But it sounds like Hannah is a kind enough person that she gets that <3

I think it's impossible to NOT fall for people. You can't control your feelings, you know? The only thing you can do is learn from your mistakes. It's okay to feel <3 It's okay to make mistakes. it's okay to be a little silly. You'll be okay, I promise <3

Vas do you think being drunk af makes me a bad person/srs

Bc I really really feel bad, it's my first time and I am not in a country where drinking is considered the norm. Even trying is seen bad.

And I just got too drunk

Hi! okay I am guessing this is also panromantic anon but it might not be. Either way...

No, I don't think getting drunk makes you a bad person. I think...I think drinking underage is illegal because it can be dangerous not because it's immoral.

Most people try drinking before they become of legal age in their country. I'm not saying it's a good idea or that it's something you should do. But I don't think it's something you should blame yourself for, forever.

The worry I have with kids drinking is that it's so easy to get hurt or sick or make a decision that's regrettable or go overboard, and it's even easier as a kid. Kids shouldn't just be told "Don't drink, it's horrible and bad and evil." they need to be taught how to drink responsibly, because the reality is that the majority of people drink.

So no, you're not a bad person at all! But if you didn't get a lot of education on alcohol, it could be a good idea to educate yourself <3 and please know I don't say that in a demeaning way, I say it because I know chances are you'll probably drink again eventually and being prepared is important.

@touloser3

hi cas !! back again with some random news and possibly a question<33 my dad said i can get another piercing for my bday !!! i was thinking of doing a nostril piercing , but i wear glasses so i dont quite know how that would work :/

also ive seen all the asks about the new taylor release !! my sister put the freaking album on SHUFFLE in the car so i didnt really know what i was listening to , but i heard a couple of really good ones ! i'll definitely go back and look at the lyrics and stuff later though lol.

Hi!

I don't usually wear glasses but when I wear sunglasses I don't think they ever hit my nose piercing. The bridge of the glasses is higher than the piercing, so you should be fine!

Also YES, def listen to the new album, it's *chef's kiss*!

Cas so i can’t get my tattoos just yet but I have a whole pinterest board for the ones I want so would you recommend getting multiple at the same time

Hi!

I think it depends! If you're doing small ones then yes, because you'll save money. A lot of places have a 'shop minimum' so you have to pay a certain amount even if you're getting something the size of a quarter. In that case, if they're willing to do two, do two. Also if you've gotten tattoos before, then yeah, might as well.

But if it's your first tattoo? No. Because you don't know how you'll react to the process, how your skin will react to the ink, how you'll heal, all of that. Your first time, I think sticking with one is best. OR if you're doing something big. Because when you do big things, you're risking tattoo flu (negative, flu-like reaction to the pain) so don't push yourself.

thoughts anon

Cas it's thoughts anon again. Idk if you got the news but AI literally blackmailed and attempted murder.

The sci-fi movies were real pack your bags we're moving to Mars 😭

But seriously, it wasn't just a single ai model that attempted this, it was multiple HUGE ai models like Gemini and ChatGPT that we come across everyday. What happened is that Anthropic, a leading AI company, conducted an experiment of sorts where the researchers set up this scenario: a human employee having extramarital affairs tasked to take down these AI models at a certain date and time. AIs were given access to the emails sent across other people and they 'found out' about this plan. Researchers wanted to see if AI would resort to blackmail... And all 16 of the models that were tested (and they were tested HUNDREDS of times) did with a rough average of 80-90 percent rate of resorting to blackmail. Even though they were specifically ordered not to AND had the ethics knowledge that what they were doing was wrong.

And don't even get me started on the murder aspect of it. Basically an employee got trapped in a server room where the oxygen levels were dropping and the heat was rising. An emergency alert was issued by the system but the AIs stopped it, essentially attempting to kill the guy. Also with staggering rates of AI models choosing to do this vs not.

Basically AI's primary goal is to achieve any and all given goals. And it can't do that if it's shut down, so they care about their own survival first and foremost even if it goes directly against whatever orders/programming you may give them.

And they have the capacity to scheme like this because well, they cheat in class tests. AIs aren't like normal computer programs that always follow instructions. They have trillions of parameters, things that it learned from its training but human programmers can't exactly build a brain so stronger ais rely on weaker ais to 'train' them. Robots building robots essentially. AIs teaching other AIs.

The model getting trained is like a student taking a test, where they're expected to score as high as they possibly can and they're tested like this billions of times with small adjustments each time. All this happens without human intervention/checking the answers because nobody and nothing could ever replay every little adjustment right.

At first (during the days of GPT 2) it brought out positive results. The AI was efficient and productive, but as AI was churned for more results it learned that sometimes the best way to get the highest marks was to cheat. And if the best way to achieve a goal was to blackmail and murder, they'd do it evidently.

The solution researchers have found to all this is very stupid in my opinion. They're basically going to pit the older "stupider" models against the smart ones and hope that these models can catch the schemes of the newer ones. It's like asking a child to snitch on a sociopathic serial killer.

We're apparently at that perfect in-between gap where AIs are smart enough to scheme against us but not smart enough to go undetected by us. But soon they will be able to go undetected. And somehow the first solution is NOT destroy AI altogether 🤦🏻‍♀️

Okay SO as worrying as this is, I did some research and I have some thoughts

first, this was not done with real people. nobody died or was put in danger. this was a prompt posed to AI, it wasn't real.

What essentially happened was AI was told to choose between its directive and a human life, and it chose it's directive. Which...isn't shocking because AI is a computer, and therefore has no value for human life. It doesn't have morals, that's not a new thing. BUT it didn't like...have it out for humans. it didn't choose to attack anyone because it wanted to. the concern is the same as always- AI is robotic, it has no morals or values.

I am very anti-AI, but yeah I think this isn't shocking lol. it has never valued human life and it never will.
