AI can generate a feeling of intimacy that exceeds human connections
People can develop emotional closeness to artificial intelligence (AI)—under certain conditions, even more so than to other people. This is shown by a new study conducted by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Markus Heinrichs and Dr. Tobias Kleinert from the Department of Psychology at the University of Freiburg and Prof. Dr. Bastian Schiller from Heidelberg University's Institute of Psychology. Participants felt a sense of closeness especially when they did not know that they were communicatin…

For todays #fotovorschlag 'Sitzgelegenheit' / 'seating',
I chose a photo from a trip to #scotland and its highlands years ago.
We so enjoyed the history, landscape people and the haggis.
Best greetings to all the scottish people out there

A tranquil and picturesque scene unfolds in this image, featuring a historic castle set against a dramatic sky. The castle, constructed from stone, exudes an air of timeless grandeur with its turrets, arched windows, and a flag flying atop one of the towers. The architecture suggests a rich history, adding a sense of mystery and charm to the scene. In the foreground, a well-maintained green lawn stretches out, providing a vibrant contrast to the stone structure. A striking red bench is positio…

Series D, Episode 02 - Power
VILA: Not too close. The gap is all connected with the thickness of the door. So what's the difference between Seskas and Hommiks?
PELLA: How do you know how thick it is?
VILA: By the stress pattern.

Claude Haiku 4.5 describes the image as: "# Scene Description This image shows two figures in what appears to be a sci-fi setting, likely from a television production. The male character on the left wears a grey and gold uniform typical of 1970s space opera costumes, complete with practical pockets and fitted design. He's holding what appears to be a futuristic rifle with blue and black coloring. The female character on the right wears a flowing, draped cream or beige garment with elegant ple…

Kimi Onoda, Japan's new Minister of State for Economic Security, is a 43 year old half-Irish ex-game industry PR femcel with an extensive history of defending her exclusive attraction to anime boys on twitter

I don't think it's twisted at all. I'm a woman who likes men, and I'm not interested in 3D men. That's all.
I apologize for rambling on. I just couldn't stay silent... I really wish I had more allies within the party... From here on, this is completely my personal opinion, but fundamentally, people who truly love 2D wouldn't touch 3D at all. I myself have absolutely no interest in 3D and consider it out of bounds. Maybe that kind of feeling is something only those involved can understand.
"Hurry up and get married," "Have kids" I've been told this by voters since my 20s, but even at 40, I still sigh every time these words are thrown at me. At what age will I finally be free of this? In the 3D world, I'm married to my country, and besides, I've said my private life is 2D-exclusive, haven't I!! I'll say it over and over: I'm 2D-exclusive!!
I've been saying this for a while now, but I don't consider 3D (real-life) people as romantic prospects. I'm dead serious, not joking. For me, the very act of someone seeing the "possibility of marriage" in me is inherently uncomfortable (quoted from a reply)-it's the same as if you were to suggest to a gay person that they marry someone of the opposite sex... If you can understand it that way, that would help. This isn't about sexual harassment or anything like that; it's a deep-seated discomf…

Sleeping less than 7 hours could cut years off your life #health

Sleeping less than 7 hours could cut years off your life
Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested—it may be one of the strongest predictors of how long you live. Researchers analyzing nationwide data found that insufficient sleep was more closely tied to shorter life expectancy than diet, exercise, or loneliness. The connection was consistent year after year and across most U.S. states. The takeaway is simple but powerful: getting seven to nine hours of sleep may be one of the best things you can do for long-term health.

Content warning: Loneliness diagram

The Venn Diagram of Perceived Loneliness...
Just came across this again in my archives — it so brutally & succinctly expresses the feeling our cultures & social connections seem to have turned into... Even though we should know that it isn't like that at all, two decades of exploitative commercialized social media (not the only reason; pandemic, tech, politics being others...) have conditioned & segmented people to believe it, experience it to varying degrees, and then …

A complex Venn diagram of 8 overlapping sets (here representing interests, only labeled 1-8), with almost all individual overlaps labeled with "Others". Only the central overlap and the edge areas without overlap are labeled "Me", expressing the idea that there're no commonalities with others...
