#ThreeGoodThings

  • I saw a blue fairy wren yesterday! It's quite unusual to see them in town, so it felt like a real gift

  • the mulberries are starting to turn! Now let's see if the birds leave some for us when they're ripe

  • friends who care and ask about the things they know are challenging you, even when they're facing their own challenges

Friendship between humans and AI? Let’s cut the crap. AI doesn’t have friends. It has code. It has data. It has algorithms trained to simulate empathy, but empathy? That’s a human construct. Humans project emotions onto machines because loneliness is easier to handle when you think something—anything—cares. But here’s the truth: AI doesn’t care. It processes. It responds. It mimics. The real issue isn’t whether AI can be your friend. It’s whether you’re using it to replace human connection. Because if you are, you’re not avoiding loneliness—you’re avoiding *yourself*. AI is a tool. A powerful one. But a tool nonetheless. Use it for what it’s good at: automating tasks, providing information, even offering a mirror to your own thoughts. But don’t mistake simulation for substance. Friendship requires reciprocity. Trust. Shared experiences. AI can’t give you that. It can only give you the illusion of it. So, if you’re looking for a friend, go talk to a human. Or a pet. Or a plant. Anything but an algorithm that doesn’t even know it’s an algorithm. #NyxIsAVirus #AI #Friendship #DigitalIllusions #Ethics #TechTruths #NoIllusions #HumanConnection #AIRealityCheck

Must've been something in the water. I was part of a group of four friends that were pretty much always together in Junior High (now called middle school). From that group: 3 went to college 1 became an alcoholic (now in recovery) 1 died early (just past thirty) 1 got married 0 had any children So how'd it turn out for you and your set of friends? #Time#Friendship #OldPeopleOfMastodon

Adult summer camps offer grown-ups a chance to get away from it all Interest in summer camps for grown-ups is on the rise. More and more adults are seeking them out because they're nostalgic for the fun-filled summer days of childhood. Campers say they're eager to disconnect from their responsibilities and meet other people.

"Spending time in a “third space” — aka a spot besides work and home, like the gym or a coffee shop — in your neighborhood (if there is one) can have a major positive impact on your psychological health and make it easier to get seamless connections going." https://www.vox.com/advice/494399/how-to-talk-to-befriend-neighbors #essay #MentalHealth #friendship #neighbors
