Guy who doesn't know how to human and uses LLM chatbots to remind him what his daughters like to talk about thinks your lack of sufficient human connection can be solved by you having more chatbots instead of more friends.

Liz thought back on the last year and started to cry. She felt the guilt of knowing she was the reason they had to divorce. She knew it was all her fault. She had finally revealed the secret that she had tried too hard to suppress for the last three months.

Have you used a Hello Bench?
I noticed a Hello Bench at a local nature area near where I live. HelloBench are a Woodley and Wokingham community initiative designed to promote human connection and eliminate loneliness.
It seems like a kind idea to get people chatting and connecting.
I was just given a quote from a statement Thich Nhat Hanh wrote in 2015, shortly before the Paris Climate Summit:
“Many of us have become alienated from the Earth. We are lost, isolated and lonely. We work too hard, our lives are too busy, and we are restless and distracted, losing ourselves in consumption.”

Side note; I wrote a song about the (utter lack of) results of the Paris Accords:

“Rumination takes over my brain — if only I’d done, I should have joined, if only I were more like — and fills in the blank spots with a multitude of actions, organizations, and friends who seldom have a free hour in their social calendars.”

Still recovering from last night.
Drove across the north to pick up two colleagues, then made the drive to Utrecht, to pitch our school #WarhammerAlliance for a pro jury for the National #Education team of the year election.
We aimed to inspire more people to start similar clubs to combat #Loneliness in students, which we did very much!
Didn't make top 3, but still very proud!
If I feel lonely and don’t have friends or a girlfriend or wife, then that means I need to earn MYR and acquire all of them using MYR. Fair trade.

#Research backs schemes that encourage doctors to prescribe time in cultural institutions to boost mental #health and reduce #loneliness
Those that suffer from #loneliness feel even more depressed after using the likes of #ChatGPT, according to a new study.
