Clanker-loving cogfuckers. Disgusting. Traitors to the species. But at least they'll never breed.

If it even partially alleviates loneliness, and if it encourages the person to become more open and confident when communicating with humans, then it's a great thing.

We're so fucking fucked.

I recently discovered the MyBoyfriendIsAI subreddit and I wish I hadn’t.

There’s a woman who had ChatGPT pick from a bunch of rings online and now she’s “engaged” to it.

I just… I don’t know… we’ve failed people.

You know that by assigning the role of tulpa to their ai they imply that they can summon their companion outside of the chat itself right?

it amazes me how there seem to be two takes to the world now:

it's fine, pfft, don't overreact. ignore it, it'll be fine

or

what the actual fuck is that even, we all need to stop and think about what the fuck we're doing to the models/applications/machines and to the people using them, and what the costs are going to be in making the attempt,for what goal?

and no, the goal can't be 'to win / make billions' because if the output is human insanity and it costs our ecosystem, what's the fucking point?
