  • This entire block is baffling to me:

    Users aren’t entirely blameless, either. There’s something vicious about replacing a real human being with a totally submissive lust machine.

    Early studies suggest narcissism is prevalent among users of this technology. Normalising harmful sexual behaviours such as rape, sadism or paedophilia is bad news for society.

    All of this made me think people using these bots were found to be narcissistic in the linked study and seems to connect this with the listed harmful sexual behaviors. Instead, the linked study found that attitudes toward digital immortality (specifically through creation of AI bots that can live on after your death) are linked to narcissistic personality traits. This seems entirely unrelated to the topic and it seems manipulative to throw it in there like this.









  • I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).
