I’m pretty excited for getting married in the next three hours!
Edit: I DID IT, LEMMY!
My mum is coming to visit soon. I live in the USA and she’s back in Australia. It’ll be the first time she’s travelled overseas since the late '80s. She’s very excited about it :)
My wedding in 11 days. Even though I’m somewhat stressed because I’ll have to travel for it and there are some moving parts, I’m excited. Wife is taking it pretty well and she is excited as well!
Make sure to make a conscious choice to stop every once in a while and take the moments in, otherwise you might not remember anything because things are happening so fast on the day
Congrats on the wedding, and I wish you a beautiful future!
Thanks!
Good luck it’ll be a blast!
I’ll keep it short term and simple. Wednesday nights I do cocktails and listen to live jazz group from the local school music students from 6pm-7pm, then I walk to my local sushi joint for great fish!
It’s my anniversary, so I’m looking forward to having a nice dinner.
The fediverse is something I’m excited for and it’s still in it’s infancy so it’ll be intersting to see how it plays out as it starts getting more polished and user friendly.
Despite the doom and gloom of AI I think it’s been really cool, and one area I’ve seen it help is for my relatives where instead of me having to solve basic tech issues AI has helped. When it develops into a full on companion that will do things it asks them to I’ll be bothered less and less.
It’s frustrating to see peoples’ imaginations run wild with AI. They’re not building “sentient” machines. There will never be machines that are sentient in anything other than appearance, and we’re notoriously easy to fool in that way.
My favorite way to describe AI that I’ve heard is “applied statistics.” It’s basically just processing huge amounts of data, very fast, simultaneously, and then presenting conclusions that are usually very likely.
Yes, it will be used to make weapons that are horrifically efficient, but likewise it will be used to make defenses that are equally efficient.
I think the good will ultimately outweigh the bad. Hopefully by a long shot.
LLMs are spontaneously developing theory of mind and nobody knows why or how, meaning that now ChatGPT and the like are able to consider what the user is thinking, opening some avenues for actual manipulation. GPT-4 can solve 95% of ToM tasks that a 7-year-old could.

I’m beginning to plan hosting a monthly dinner for friends, maybe starting in the fall. I’m excited thinking about having people I love gather over food regularly
I have a powerlifting meet on Sunday that I’m excited for. Going to set some PRs hopefully!
The company I work for changed their policy on paid vacations. Starting in August I’m going to have a lot of vacation days and I’m going to use them.
It’s adult night at the skating rink tonight and I’m going 🛼

I went hiking on Saturday and I took a fuck ton of pictures, I’m really looking forward to editing the best shots from the trip. The hike was so beautiful it’s probably going to be pretty hard to pick, and honestly that’s the best kind of problem to have.
Also I have a bunch of miniatures that are at the point of needing a final pass of paint before being done, that I’m really excited to finish up.
Going on leave soon with my family.
About to move for just a few months for my wife’s job. I think the kids will be cool with it they are still young but I know they’ll miss their family here. Otherwise, super stoked
