      I have no idea if anyone else is into this, casually or just past experiences, can remove if inappropriate.

      Haven’t seen anyone else talk about it here in Tildes, so, anyone else have any experience with any sort of psychedelic adventures?

      I try to trip once every couple years because I feel like its easy for me to forget about myself and what I want and how that fits into what the world wants from me. I use the ‘me’ time to just sort myself out, get my priorities straight, and keep going.

      Anyone else?

    13. What is your opinion whenever you see news/opinion that tech companies are relying more on chatbots rather than junior developers/interns?

      I see that in the headline from time to time. Not really sure how prevalent it is and it's pretty disappointing news. but I also can't help but think: the news articles are probably overblowing it...

      I see that in the headline from time to time. Not really sure how prevalent it is and it's pretty disappointing news.

      but I also can't help but think:

      1. the news articles are probably overblowing it and it's not probably not as prevalent as it's being portrayed
      2. that any tech company doing that is shooting themselves in the foot. in total, I was an intern at various companies for a little under 3 years. I don't doubt that the work I did for the majority of the my co-ops were all things that could have been done by a chatBot. writing unit tests and small scripts and etc. but they were invaluable to me (1) understanding what is expected of me in a professional environment and (2) gave me a basic idea of how to code in a professional environment (2) gave me alot of perspective on what technologies and tools I should spend spare time learning cause my university very much focused on dinosaur-era languages, for the classes that did teach any coding related skills. same for the friends I went to uni with. So all I think is maybe in the short term, they are saving money on not hiring interns/co-ops/junior devs to do work that can be done by a bot but I feel like in the long terms that will reduce the number of intermediate/senior devs on the market which means they'll be in higher demand and cost more money.

      Most people here dislike AI, more specifically LLM generated content, for reasons such as environmental impact, stealing people's work, etc. Despite that, is there anything that you enjoy?

      I've been listening to this artist's music for a while. It's mostly video game music "re-imagined by AI" into City Pop and other styles. Artist says they use AI to generate samples, then do the rest of the work like any producer would. I have no idea if it's true or not, but I gotta admit that most of it is really good.

      Today I also watched some "AI ASMR" videos out of curiosity. It's stupid, I know. But watching a knife cut glass can be so damn satisfying. I'm sorry, planet.

    21. How did you ruin a game for yourself?

      Warning: this post may contain spoilers

      Maybe you spoiled the story.

      Maybe you min-maxed the fun out of it.

      Maybe you played it SO much that eventually its tiny little flaws were all you could see.

      Maybe you spent so much time excitedly modding it that, when it came time to finally play it, the fire was out.

      Whatever the reason: what was the game, and how did you ruin it for yourself?

      They aren't a startup anymore, but it seems the current CEO, Tony Stubblebine, got it right, according to his latest (long) blogpost.

      Although Medium is in a healthy path now, they burnt goodwill so many times in the past that my trust on the business is absent. I wonder how other people perceive them…

    29. How many strings must you string from string cheese in order for it to be considered string cheese and not just eating a stick of mozzarella?

      Friendly debate.

      String cheese is meant to be strung.
      Eating it without stringing it is just plain wrong and there are many ways to eat it incorrectly. 1 2 3
      But what is the correct minimum number of strings that string cheese must be strung into in order for it to be string cheese?
      Is splitting it into two mostly even pieces enough?
      Or is three a minimum?
      Perhaps you have high strung opinions on the number of strings a string cheese must be strung for it to qualify as more than a mere stick of mozzarella and require say nine as a minimum.
