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?

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.

Lol. Trap sprung, etc.

It’s biologically ingrained into us to avoid incest.

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.

Ideally, yes. But in any case if it has a wire at least it’ll let you fish it out like a tampon.

“We are… erm… investigating! Yes, that’s it!”

Pro tip: if you buy a vibrator, don’t go for a cordless one.

Just saying.

Gimps were a thing long before Pulp Fiction, buddy.

… Or so I’ve been told!!

Why should I?

You uh… you sure about that?

Just stare at it for long enough and you’ll be able to tell by the shape it burned into your retina.
