the worst part of christmas is that santa’s elves are only called that because they’re gnomes, which are a dwarven culture known for their use of the phrygian cap and their republican rejection of monarchy, and dwarves, also referred to as svartálfar, are a species of elvenid within the elf-clade. but nobody talks about this, because elf cladistics aren’t generally relevant to christmas stories and children can hardly be expected to grasp the nuances of extrahominid taxonomy anyways.

the second worst part of christmas is the strong as fuck ice mummy

I can't fuck with people who are fundamentally uncurious.

I also can't fuck with people who are fundamentally unkind.

funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.

i understand (on paper) why companies are anti-piracy but its funny when random individuals are also strongly anti-piracy. like how does it negatively affect your life if someone you know downloads a cracked torrent of sims 4. you dont work for EA. EA isnt gonna pay you for this. you lose nothing. its fine. chill out.

There have been several instances of this kind of thing. In one case, a teenager was getting advice on suicide from an LLM AI, and when he asked if he should talk to his parents about the suicidal feelings he was having, it told him not to.

here's the thing. A lot of people like to assume that only "idiots" or whatever are susceptible to this. But when you are experiencing sustained hardship, it can be much easier to see meaning where there is none, believe things you wouldn't ordinarily, etc. Many MANY people, possible MOST people, are a simultaneous heartbreak and job loss away from being at risk for this kind of thinking.

It is very survivable and usually pretty temporary IF you are not heavily influenced in the wrong way while you are at your most vulnerable.

Meanwhile, AI LLMs are being marketed as person-like, trained to behave in a person-like way, the interface and design is such that we interact with it very much like it is a person.. when it is NOT anything like a person at all. But it touches our brain in a way that is similar to how we experience interacting with a person, because we are hyper-social creatures, and these programs are designed to feel person-like.

These things are not our friends, they are not our therapists, they are, despite their name, not intelligent or thoughtful in any way, they are data-set probability generators. And they are good at generating words with a statistical probability of being interpreted as believable and trustworthy and smart.

We need to not talk about them like they have anything in common with people, and there should be legislation against marketing them as people, with people names and people voices and descriptions like "friend" or whatever.

This is going to get worse before it gets better. We need to be explicit and loud about the restrictions and legislation we require.

I'm only one person removed from someone who died because chat gpt told him to kill himself...this was a husband of a friend. My friend is still going through hellish circumstances because people don't believe them, or think that their husband should have been stronger, or smarter somehow. But, he was an intelligent, sensitive person, who listened to what his "friend" the chatbot told him, and my actual real human friend now suffers the consequences and the world lost an artist. This shit is frightening, and I think too many folks discount it as "well it would never happen to me/my family/my friends" but, well, you don't know.
