  I’ve noticed the same exact thing. Makes me wonder if there could be some kind of difference in reporting, like how florida’s laws led to the florida man/woman trope.

  Seriously. It’s peak reddit behavior. Part of what made lemmy feel like such a breath of fresh air when I migrated was the distinct lack of karma-farm-esque posts. I’m unfortunately speaking in the past tense now.

  It’s interesting how similar patterns arise in different areas of capitalism. For instance, cars. A Toyota Rav4 used to be significantly smaller and less complex. Same with countless other models throughout the decades. And same with notepad here. More bloated and complex, jack of all trades and master of none. Erasing distinctions between toolsets, ultimate convenience with everything at your fingertips, etc etc. Convenience at the price of a logical workflow, with no thought given as to why the tools were in different places to begin with. It’s like the ultimate purpose of capitalism is to increase entropy to maximum.

  I arrived at that point a few years ago. You’re in for a world of discovery. As an fps fan myself I highly recommend Ultrakill. There’s a demo so you don’t have to commit.

  They are hollow, only a couple millimeters thick. They melt in less than a minute.

  The deletion is absolute (all atoms, creates a true void), and infinite in size vertically. Your first use of this power results in massive tectonic shifts and (admittedly low-key) global chaos.

  Everyone within 100 meters feels an urge to look in your direction as soon as you think about using your power.

  Your point is not only valid but also significant, and I feel stands in addition, not contradiction, to my point. These people now have something to continuously bounce ideas off; a conversational partner that never says no. A perpetual yes-man. The models are heavily biased towards the positive simply by nature of what they are, predicting what comes next. You (may or may not) know how in improv acting there’s a saying called “yes, and” which serves to keep things always moving forward. These models exist in this state, in perpetuity.

  Previously, people who have ideas such as these will experience near-universal rejection from those around them (if they don’t have charisma in which case they start a cult) which results in a (relatively, imo) small number of extreme cases. I fear the presence of such a perpetual yes-man will only accelerate all kinds of damage that can emerge from nonsensical thinking.

  Totally fair point but I really don’t know if that’s true. A decent number of mainstream delusions have the side effect of creating community and bringing people together, other negative aspects notwithstanding. The delusions referenced in the article are more akin to acute psychosis, as the individual becomes isolated, nobody to share delusions with but the chatbot.

  With traditional mainstream delusions, there also exists a relatively clear path out, with corresponding communities. ExJW, ExChristian, etc. People are able to help others escape that particular in-group when they’re familiar with how it works. But how do you deprogram someone when they’ve been programmed with gibberish? It’s like reverse engineering a black box. This is scaring me as I write it.

  Meanwhile I unveil a plan to continue not giving a goddamn cent to J Bozo. Ever.

  Weird as in outside of the norm? Sure, just a bit. Weird as in dangerous or creepy? Not in the slightest. If I were out for a walk and saw someone juggling at the park, that would make me happy. I wish I felt as comfortable to do things outside.

  “Haven’t you heard, I’m Sakamoto” is a 10/10 example of the good kind, imo. Hilariously overpowered teenager in a normal ass highschool. Feels like it was definitely written to satirize those over-the-top power dynamics.

  Your prof is incredibly turned on by your hot hairy pits and needs you to tone it down so he can educate properly, lmao. That’s my guess (best explanation for hairiness comment)

  Making a good Overly Cropped is like a fine art. To crop a piece that leaves the reader wanting more is to create a story and a mystery. Great stuff.
