I think there's a belief that the Dems (in a status quo non updating form) are the last bulwark. When in reality, their failures are a huge part of why we're where we are.

Nah every age is the perfect age to start liking rocks more.

It's worth being explicit that you can change the sycophantic affirmation behavior on most models via saved memories / system prompts. You can make it as mean or challenging as you want. When ppl don't, that's on their preferences. 🤷‍♀️

It over tunes like tik tok to yr micro dopamine responses to big boobs and stuff like that haha. Or it starts finding you exclusively emotionally unavailable partners bc that's what u did last. The Spotify preference forcing applied to dating lol.

AI "lovers" is definitely a reflection of our societal failure to solve for the coordination problem of romantic partnership. Tho I suspect, an inevitable development will be AI twin dating services that pair based on encyclopedic knowledge of yr preferences. 🥴

Liberals en masse hopefully learning about the "three way fight".

No one in NZ knows what an oogle is and I've realised it's actually pretty hard to capture the nuance to someone w zero context.

(There's a subsection of rationality communities that believes emotions can have critical truth value)

They're coming for our jobs (posting) !!!!

I'm just thin thinking like, bud as a white girl whose back moves more than my ass when I try to twerk, I just don't think baddie is meant for me sadly.

What i was thinking about here is just like, oh yr mad? Really really mad? So mad that you'll... post? Bro that's not even very mad.

Liberals are particularly bad and cringe at this.

My girl always says I'm a baddie (as in villain) and I'm just like bud, I fucking WISH!

I just want to note that his gotcha was that Zohran and wife make a theoretical combined $200k which sure is a lot of money in a sense but it definitely does not even close to count as being "rich" in nyc. It's not enough to buy a home anywhere.

Basilisk-Agnosticism was right there, fumble on my part

Righteous indignation about a topic, from people who are actually extremely far removed from the situation (direct personal experience, expertise and/or meaningful action) is a toxic ingroup virtue signalling and dopamine/clout farming strategy that destroys discourse and fuels petty tyrants.

Anger virtue signalling is a dirty currency. Tho I get the distinction with true expressions of grief and shouting into the void against a feeling of powerlessness.

As a young kid I was super kind to all my stuffed animals, just in case.

I love Arivaca!

AI wife guy realising that his synthetic lover is not a unique model but rather a global API endpoint with a bit of persistent context memory: "The b*tch is cheating on me!!!"

The framing and history and politics of borderline is fucked I know, but the phenomena of "bpd eyes" in splitting, one you've really experienced it, it's so distinctive.

It's the classic problem of a high trust community without clear ethical values and a critique of power. Festivals, subcultures, localism etc. When I try to join a subculture I often ask smthg like how was the last r*pist handled and their degree of shock is so the context I need.

It was a mind breaking feeling bc I was willing to stay with them and work through the fucked behavioral patterns. I didn't want to cancel or isolate them. The fact I still loved them but would stand up to the lying inspired them to sabo rather than heal together. Not just me our whole community.

(Or depending on the intersectionality dynamics at play. You're being transphobic, racist, etc by confronting me. It can mold itself into whatever the local social capital vernacular is)

There's a lot I actually respect about 12 step but something not discussed enough is how vulnerable it is to micro-cult leaders and extremely manipulative social capital grifters. When it gets into 13th step ppl discuss it a bit but there's many other problems.

Love this guy. I want to know the part he wanted to say but pulled the words back in.

Yep 100. They wanted me back so engaged in the performance of understanding. Or maybe even believed it in the moment. But the house of cards protecting their identity forced the literal facts I provided out eventually. Like some kind of psychological autoimmune disorder.
