I’m a bit rusty on the rules but before becoming a saint, don’t you first have to die?

In that case I’m all for Trump being sainted.

I have and I find it pretty convincing.

But what if my favorite coworkers didn’t actually view me as their favorite coworker? Maybe to them I was just meh. Would they come to my reunion, since they wouldn’t consider me too belong at theirs?

I mean, a certain mutuality is implied.

Docking?

I tried that for far too many years of my life but it sucked and only made things worse. So I stopped doing that and anyone who gives me grief for being myself can suck my balls.

I have a horse and I’m not mega rich so you could totally do it if you want!

That was my take away as well. With the added bonus of having your echo chamber tailor made for you, and all the agreeing voices tuned in to your personality and saying exactly what you need to hear to maximize the effect.

It’s eery. A propaganda machine operating on maximum efficiency. Goebbels would be jealous.

I got it! What I meant to say was, next up for the tariffs will be American movies filmed on location in foreign lands. My wording was unclear.

Lol. Trap sprung, etc.

Next up: 100% tariffs on movies filmed in foreign lands.

It’s biologically ingrained into us to avoid incest.

Tell me you’ve never been on PornHub without telling me you’ve never been on PornHub.

Yeah, from the article:

Even sycophancy itself has been a problem in AI for “a long time,” says Nate Sharadin, a fellow at the Center for AI Safety, since the human feedback used to fine-tune AI’s responses can encourage answers that prioritize matching a user’s beliefs instead of facts. What’s likely happening with those experiencing ecstatic visions through ChatGPT and other models, he speculates, “is that people with existing tendencies toward experiencing various psychological issues,” including what might be recognized as grandiose delusions in clinical sense, “now have an always-on, human-level conversational partner with whom to co-experience their delusions.”

Don’t worry, guy, victory is sweet after all.

Turns out AI is really good at telling people what they want to hear, and with all the personal information users voluntary provide while chatting with their bots it’s tens to maybe hundreds times much more proficient at brainwashing its subjects than any human cult leader could ever hope to be.

Nothing as bad as your story, but many years ago I bought something reasonably expensive on ebay and the seller convinced me to send the money by Western Union. Oops. Never saw the product of course, and later I found out this is a well-known scam.

Lesson learned.

Nice. That skeleton looks badass.

Looks like mr. Marsh hasn’t washed down there for a while.

A potted boil is never watched.
