I one hundred percent believe that Scott Adams was hypnotized by a LLM.

Meow like a good kitten and I'll tell you more about how deep my rabbit holes go

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

You can hypnotize yourself if you stare in a mirror or watch a recording

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

This explains why binging TV shows is so addictive, it's hypnotism!

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

It’s called television programming for a reason. think-about-it stay woke

[-] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

This on those things that is an unforced self own.

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 91 points 4 months ago

This "LLMs are super scary you guys they might even be sapient" grift is so eye-rollingly stupid. These people are on the mental level of literal children.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 42 points 4 months ago

If my furby wasn't sapient, how could it talk to me?

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

That was the Chinese secret police ya dingus.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 4 months ago

and they weren't even being secret!

I'm pretty sure children are much smarter than some of these people

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

I shit you not I heard an 11 year old kid buying candy at the cash register and he was legit explaining some basics of labor theory of value through the lens of candy price increases. Kids have damn good intuition.

[-] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 82 points 4 months ago

Not sure why you'd want to advertise that you're extremely susceptible to suggestion but maybe that's why I'm not an alpha male

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 41 points 4 months ago

Didn't he like recently get scammed for a shitload of money and then told people about that too

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

Really? Does anybody have details on this?

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 41 points 4 months ago

Lmfao found it

Literally tweeting out that he's been scammed out of $50,000+ at least "5-7 times" amerikkka-clap

Why are you all laughing? This man has cured hundreds of people from their various health issues using only advice

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Everyone is getting off a lot of jokes at your expense and no one is seeing the real man behind the tweets for the flawed, imperfect human you are. Don't listen to these creeps, some of us still care. Anyways Scott I need to see your wallet I'm the inspector

The computer told me to close my eyes and not think and I did. Check mate beta cuck

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 74 points 4 months ago

Every time I hear something else about Scott Adams, I get more embarrassed about liking Dilbert when I was a shitty teen.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 42 points 4 months ago

My godfather got me Scott Adams' business book when I was 10 for my birthday present

I didn't even like Dilbert, I was a Calvin & Hobbes kid

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago

I'm still a Calvin and Hobbes kid

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

Calvin and Hobbes is still so good

Christopher: "He was my godfather. But he knew I liked Calvin & Hobbes. He knew that. Dilbert - who likes that shit? Nobody wants that shit."

Adriana: "So that's when you keyed his car?"

Christopher: "No. That was another thing. Are you even listening to me! Pass me the bowl!"

Adriana: "Pass it to yourself." And she walks angrily to the bedroom.

He throws up his hands.

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 38 points 4 months ago

Isn't his descent into madness more recent? Like the bulk of his work was before he went insane. Right?

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

He's probably gotten worse, but looking back, there were warning signs

[-] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 4 months ago

No, he's like Kanye or musk, always insane but better at hiding it

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago

Yeah, in one of his '90s books he had something about how daily affirmations could lead you to win big in the stock market, or some shit.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Another one had his own personal theory of how the universe worked

He has always been bonkers, but the chud type of bonkers is more recent. This particular post is pretty inline with how he's always been

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

He showed hints of it when the tea party was taking off, but it was fairly level-headed stuff. The descent into madness was gradual, and I feel blessed to read his earlier posts where a germ of the madness started off.

I was never into Dilbert but my parents got me that big collection of them where Scott Adams leaves little comments on them in a sort of marginalia way. It was before a large car trip and I think they thought it would be just funny cartoons like Calvin and Hobbes (which I'd read earlier) to keep me entertained. And so for some reason I can remember certain Dilbert comics in crystal clarity including Scott Adams opinions on the reaction at the time.

Weirdly a similar thing happened to Mattie Lubchansky author of the Antifa Cookbook and Boys Weekend.

same vibes as that cult expert who said sissy hypno videos he found on the internet were CIA-tier brainwashing or somethingdata-laughing

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 38 points 4 months ago

badeline-jokerfied This is an incredibly high-tier bit!!

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 50 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

And you didn't let it hypnotize you into becoming a sissy cuckold? What kind of man are you?!

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sure, I fantasize about being forcibly sissified and liling it. Plenty of cis people do, amirite lads?

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

He did, and that's why it's so dangerous

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 49 points 4 months ago

He sissy hypno’d himself

The prompt: You will not call your ex after drinking

[-] batsforpeace@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

hey you, did you know that The Digital God is coming, trust me on this, also if you can make a donation to our 'Society for AI Alignment' that would be great too

[-] underisk@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

Is it possible to train an AI to convince people who believe LLMs are sapient to take a permanent vow of silence?

[-] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

He was hypnotized long before the LLM got there.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
