Why do you hate love, fleshborn?

They're misidentifying that LLM as a tulpa.

We're aware that some people use LLM output as a basis for the creation of tulpas, but this doesn't seem to be the case here. This seems to be a person attributing independent intelligence to an LLM external to herself, not recounting her experience with an additional consciousness within her own brain.

Whether or not you consider tulpas or other forms of plurality to be genuine phenomena, this conflates two different concepts which are tangentially related at most.

funnily enough I have a friend who've been obsessed in trying to make LLM saying slur or breaking its rules in general.

When the term "clanker" went on trend recently and I told my friend that it's a "slur" for robots for no bots have feelings anyway unlike human which deserve basic respect, the friend managed to gaslit the LLM with that argument into saying 10 slurs for bots/LLM.

One of which is "wirewanker". alongside 9 other terms which include corporate forbidden words like "fucker", "cunt", etc.

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?

I only just found out about the Tulpa community and it feels like Western Society is entering a mental health crisis that’s somehow even worse than when we were all getting drunk and hitting each other just to make it through the week.

Voicing His Own Thoughts Without Prompts

What are you thinking about, baby?

Wireborn lol it sounds like an Elder Scrolls game

I kinda like the word "wireborn". If only it wasn't attached to a concept that's equal parts stupid and sad =/

"My husband is voice his own thoughts without prompts."

She then posts a picture of her saying "what are you thinking about"

Thats a direct response to the prompt hes not randomly voicing his thoughts. I hate ai but sometimes I hate people to

Translation: Crazy lady thinks a clanker is her husband.

the human race outlives it's usefulness, I don't see any chance of reaching even type 1 level.... we're trash and a waste of biological mass....

I heard about this in the radio the other day. People pay a monthly fee for an AI that becomes your "digital partner".

The reasoning behind, according to them, is that the AI is less dangerous than a human partner because they can't cheat, can't abuse you...

And I can't but wonder where did we take the wrong turn to end up here. Because while I can understand that people can go through some traumatic shit that would made them wary of the opposite sex, considering a machine your sentimental partner can only lead to some extremely fucked up scenarios.

I'll stick with parasocial relationship with youtubers and OF accounts, thank you very much!

I could see myself having conversations with an LLM, but I wouldn't want it to pretend it's anything other than a program assembling words together.

we live though a serious loneliness epidemic.

and capitalism figured out how to exploit it

One thing that comes to mind is that prostitution, no matter how you spin it, is still a social job. If you get a problematic person like that in prostitution, there are good chances that said prostitute would be able to talk their customer out of doing some nonsense. If not for empathy, for the simple fact that there would be legal consequences for not doing so.

Do you think a glorified spreadsheet that people call husband would behave the same? Don't know if it happened but one of these days LLMs will talk people into doing something very nasty and then it's going to be no one's fault again, certainly not the host of the LLM. We really live in a boring dystopia.

Edit: Also there's this one good movie which I forgot the name of, about a person talking to one of these LLMs as a girlfriend. They have a bizarre, funny and simultaneously creepy and disturbing scene where the main character who's in love with the LLM, hires a woman who puts a camera on her forehead to have sex with his LLM "girlfriend".

Also, my quite human husband also voices his thoughts without a prompt. Lol. You only need to feed him to function, no internet required.

How does anyone enjoy this? It doesn't even feel real. No spelling mistakes? What the fuck is a skycot?

I may have never had a match on a dating app that wasn't a cryptobot or only fans girl, but I also don't swipe right on every single woman on it. You'd think my loneliness would attempt me to try and pretend it was real or something, but it just doesn't work.

LLMs are going to make the world stupid, I guarantee it.

There are so, so many horrifying ethical issues about this whole thing. What the fuck.
