@SparkyIGG @IsaiahBradner Pleasure getting to know man, you aint seen the last of me ♥️

After coming back to brazil I realized alot on my flight how I met so many ppl,especially ppl who I love and consider family even if they live in other cities,states,countries. ESPECIALLY meeting some in weird instances like @IsaiahBradner bringing me tp to a stall at a regional

I will be back to pokemon possibly next season if everything in my life goes to plan. I want to thank everyone for their kind words when I was leaving it really meant a lot to me! I still got some therapy to do and continue my own weight loss journey but everythings been great❤️

I think the best way to nerf pult while also not killing the deck is to do a bandai one peice type of restriction. Dont allow pokepad and drakloak to be played together in the same deck together. Simple as that. This doesnt kill pult or pokepad while also creating more balance

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

2nd Place at the Seville SPE with FESTIVAL LEAD! This weekend has been an incredible experience playing a very underrated archetype, but turns out it's pretty good 👀 Planning to do a guide on the deck, will try to push it out before Orlando then update with post rotation after.

Lost r9 like a CHUD but ended today 6-2-1 This is the first event in a long time I’ve properly prepared for and it shows, feeling super confident and hoping for a good run tomorrow 🤞 shoutout to the goat @DanSquared___ for making me breakfast this wouldn’t be possible w/o him

I love you with all my heart and I always want to grow side by side with you day by day, miniute by minute. I cannot wait for the rest of the world to see that magic, and I hope everyoje gets a chance to experience your magic because you are truly a needle in a haystack

Ive learned so much from her and she pushes me to be the best person I can be and in many ways ive failed her, ive failed her a lot, and I wanna take the time to grow from my mistakes, experiences, and see people the way she does. I will never stop loving her for who she is

She fights just as hard as she loves people in general, and I dont just mean the people she knows but strangers, people who have internally and emotionally struggle and all she worries about is the good she can do for this planet. Its truly an honor to be by her side everyday

Ended day 1 at 7-1-1! First time in a long time I go to day 2 with more than 6 wins. :) #PlayPokemon

6-2-1 to make my first IC day 2!!!! Hoping to make some 💰🤑 tmrw 🥹

Top 8 at Santiago Regionals with Tenacity! Yeah pretty much just the Chao 60. One year after I started playing Gardy and over one and a half since my last cash finish I finally got my first top cut, I'm very happy (cont.)

I spoke to Pokémon TCG Regional champion @emothann ahead of Bologna about Riftbound, Spiritforged thoughts, and his win recently in Birmingham. Here's a clip with Ethan's reply on how Riftbound & Pokémon are different mechanically. Link to the full interview on YT is below.
